Yeah, any color you want, as long as it's black!

They are indeed a more durable material, so better in that sense. I can't agree that they look the same, though. Bluemels used to make some interesting looking fenders, including some with a ridge down the middle etc (Club Special, Lightweight, Featherweight) and interesting colors. Maybe the metal flake green was a bit much, but is it too much to ask that someone make white plastic fenders?
