Have you noticed this . . .

I was getting an estimate for a clearshield today and while looking at the front end I noticed there is NO seam between the front fender and bumper!
That's when I realized the fenders are plastic!!!
I guess we don't have to worry about grocery carts hitting the front end!

Yes, but the fancy technical word is "composite panel" not plastic!

Yeah, but you know plastic panel, or "composite panel" as you say really just means its urethane.

I remember the days when we made fun of Saturn for doing the same thing.
