--TOYOTA FIBERGLASS GUIDE-- Glassworks, Fiberwerx, McNeil, Hannemann

what lights are those mounted on the bumper frame mounts? you just have them connected to the fog light switch?

 

They look like KChilites...https://www.kchilites.com/industry/light-pods/kc-flex-trade-led-dual-pair-pack-system-pr.html. Great looking set up!

Exactly! They're bright as hell

Anyone here running fiberglass bedsides with a cap? I want to keep my ARE cap but also run ADV+4 flat top bed sides.

Dude....YES!

 

Anybody on here running fiberglass bedsides with a plate high clearance rear bumper?

 

Finally found some time to fabricate custom fender liners for my glass fenders/bedsides. I went with 3/16" Kydex. The Kydex has some flexibility to it but won't hold the shape of the fender without adding heat. Kydex is extremely durable and sturdy at room temperature but becomes malleable when hot which makes it easy to work with. You can reheat it multiple times without cracking or warping. Although somewhat time-consuming to cut, heat and reheat, it provides an ability to mold the liner multiple times for precise fitment.

Once heat-molded & cooled, the fender has tremendous rigidity to maintain its shape. This allowed me to install the liner only using 3 bolts to fasten to the inner wheelwell body. This was my first time using Kydex but would recommend it

 

Kydex!! Never thought of it, you just stick a heat gun up they’re and work it with your hand (gloved)?

 

Yes applied heat with heat gun and used gloves to shape it. Only need about 320 degrees F to get it to soften. Once cooled, it becomes rigid again. Won't warp and you can reheat if not satisfied with the bend or shape. It's thicker and more rigid than the OEM fender liners

 

Right on - where did you buy it?

 

You can order sheets on Amazon.. but @Jrgymie may have a better place

 

I’m lucky enough to live right next to a McMaster Carr warehouse but I’m curious where he sourced his because price points can vary pretty drastically.

 

indeed... I need some glass!

 

Curbellplastics.com There are a lot of options to choose from but I bought the Kydex 0.09 inch T thermoplastic 48"x 96" sheet and had them cut it into 4 equal pieces which significantly reduced the shipping expense. Somewhat expensive but wanted to give it a try.

 

@snowsk8air2

 

This may be a stupid question but how do they get +4” is that from the edge of the stock fender flare? Or the metal fender?

 

So I have yet to find someone who has the McNeil +2" bedsides, so I finally gave in and put my order in.

 

anyone have any experience molding a fiberglass bumper cap to a stock bumper? I'm planning on installing the mcneil front fiberglass myself on my 3rd gen sometime next month. the fenders are straight forward and look tedious as hell but do-able, but I'm pretty stumped on the molding to the stock bumper. Some type of automotive glue?
