Fiberglass Tails?

After spending an entire day trying to rejuvenate an old tail gate I was wondering if any body makes an aftermarket fiberglass replacement? Has anyone seen an advertisement for one?

Well at that price maybe a little Rust Bullet is the answer for now 40$ vs 800$ its a no brainer. Thanks for the link though!

Fiberglass tailgates seem good for rust problems, but theysaid at the site that you shouldnt stand or sit on it too hard, I like jumping up onto my tailgate.

Yea that did sour the thought of using a fiberglass tail gate, but the price finished it off though.
Oh and when you use the rust bullet on your vechical cover all other vehicals around or wet sanding and buffing will be in your future.
