Hell, if you want fiberglass fenders The Internet has a full set of ASM reps sitting in his garage that need a car to go on. Talk to him.

Crack and break doesn't sound pleasant...how durable is the material? Unless I can find a better alternative by the time I leave work today I'm probably just going to order them from Majestic and have them sent next day. And then get front bumper/lip and fenders all painted asap.

Its fiberglass, it's less durable than metal, and more durable than fenders made out of papermache.
In all seriousness fiberglass is plenty durable, it's used in lots of OEM applications. I'm not trying to scare you out of going down that path, you just need to realize that when you hit a fender with a wheel at speed if it's metal it will flex and possibly warp depending on how hard you run, and if it's fiberglass it's going to crack and/or break depending on how hard you rub.
There are pros and cons to both set ups.

If you do end up going the FRP route, you should totally hit me up about that ASM set. Might as well look good if you're going aftermarket!
