Yes, fiberaglass hatches are not cheap. And also, with most fiberglass doors you can not have real glass in there. You have to use lexan windows (from what I have heard). Doors I wouldnt recommend, hood and fenders are OK.

Another down side to the fiberglass is that if you start doing some really heavy modding to your car the torque and body twist can actually cause them to crack. And you can forget about them lasting through a wheel stand
