    Hey,

    Has anyone every ordered any fibre glass panles from the 86 Factory?



    They have both levin/sprinter and trueno panels, coupe and hatch.
    Just wanted to know about thier quality anf fit.

    Also if anyone has shipped any of there products to Australia, (Melb)?

    Maybe a large group order is on the cards?

    I have not. but they look liek they knwo there stuff.
    however, if your looking for complete panels like a complete fibreglass door or rear quarter.. hell even a bonnet.

    keep in mind that these are illeagle in australia. I got done for my fibreglass bonnet.

    you may want to doubble check that though. you might be able to get away with it if you get a mod plate?

    yeah I have just bought myself a fibreglass sunroof panel from them and am very very impressed with their work. I payed for my panel, in less than 2 weeks they had made it and sent it from NZ and it was at my door, undamaged.

    Cant recommend them enough.

    Eugene is the guy there that you deal with.

    What was the postage ($) ?

    Does it make it worthwhile?

    Are fibre glass front quarter panels illegal? Whats on a nissan x-trail?
    Aren't they plastic?

    Really, i want to protect my real guards, i rekon they getting rare.
    (me = Bad Drift = damaged panels)

    I also think the doors would be sweet.

    See as the story goes.. the reason i got done for my fibreglass bonnet, was the same reason you cant have a carbon-fibre bonnet.
    which means, if you hit a predestrian or a pole or something, the bonnet will not crumple it will split in to sharp pieces and kill someone.

    thats a super brief description.

    X-trail guards are plastic.

    Lots of recent vehicles have plastic guards now, inc my Peugeot 307 and Renault Scenic RX4.

    I am interested, i want a bonnet and maybe more, with one of these painted I think it would be real hard to pick as being fiberglass, apart from the weight of course.
