plastic body panels?

I was reading a magazine the other day and they were raving about plastic body panels. I understand how they might be lighter and resistant to damage. Is that the main reason some people like them so much?

Does anyone know who sells these panels? And are more people using fiberglass than plastic? I would assume that plastic would become brittle after 5 years or so.
