I have quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies in my pocket. they have lost all their luster over the years. hmm, they do not even have the "cha-ching sound anymore but rather a disappointing clunk in my pocket. the cha-ching coins apparently became extinct and too expensive to make.
and yes, there is aluminum in your 8.
Cha-ching......

Oe fenders are sheet metal(steel)
Aftermarket replacements are frp (fiberglass)
Im ordering mine soon, need both front fenders, not because i hit anything, its just that the edge where it meets the turn signal housing has rust all over, i strip it paint a while ago ... now gotta pay for my mistakes :-|
