Umm... That means cheap body repairs and no worries about rust.

No worries about body panel rust. The frame would likely still be metal.

Custom injected plastic is cheap to replace? And aluminum doesnt rust... unless your driving around in acid. But honestly as long the bed is made from metal, i wouldnt care if the sides are whatever.

You can heat it with a heatgun and bend it back into shape.

I suppose you can also just superglue the peices back when it shatters when you back into something in winter...
