yes... hugely.
fibreglass is a lot cheaper to work with then plastic.

OEM can afford to use plastic as they use it on a big run of cars, so its worth the investment.

Dont they generally use blow moulded plastic? Those moulds cost 10's of thousands - If you are thinking about plastic your dreaming!
