The fenders are steel and I would replace not repair from your pic. As stated before use a gm fender. I replaced one on a truck several years ago and it rusted away while the rest of the truck remained solid

Yep get original replacements fenders.....they are made at the same time inventory parts are made at the plant. They just put them in different baskets for shipping.

I know the 12 is Aluminum . Unfortunately Mine was hit by a rock that took the paint off of it where it hit.

Steel fenders, not like the God awful 4th gen's plastic. How ever I doubt the 2013 hoods are aluminum, seems like plastic or fiberglass to me.

Probably something for safety so they buckle instead of coming through the windshield and decapitating you in a collision.
If you lived through the 60's that was some ugly shit.

More for weight I think. My dodge caravan also has an aluminum hood.
