they are trying to shave weight, plus they dont really plan to get into a “crash/accident”. but if they do, it doenst matter really to them if they need to pay for another panel, body

If you tend to smash/ total your car alot i guess fiber glass isnt for you , but i think its good stuff , i hear its pretty strong / flexible…

no problem , yea it is lighter , and i dont plan on smashing into stuff so i plan its good for me , plus the person making this is my step dad , so if mine ever gets compleated ill let you know how it turned out , i like it because no rust , and ill probably widen the fenders when the mold is made , so it should be good ,and hes a professonal so its sweet… and i have alot of time to get it done , since i dont even get my G1 until february…

its not so much crashing your car into things… its the fact that if you have a lowered car and u have a fiberglass bumper (or other parts that can potentially get in contact with anything)… the chances of that cracking or breaking is quite high.

But anyways… are you able to make rear valance pieces (rear fender caps) i am interested in a pair for my coupe

thanks

Polyurethane is what they make bushings out of, urethane is what they make bumpers with.

I dont actually have parts in stock , but eventualyt we might , and pretty much anything that we can take a mold from , can be made by fiberglass, so hood , rear valances , bumbers fenders , etc , pretty much anything

Well made, hand laid fiberglass \> urethane.  
They can be quite strong, and fit really well, they take paint better, and if the kit ever gets damaged, it is very easily fixable. Have fun trying to fix urethane if you ever break it 😉
