i'm a pharmacy student n previously i read an article on a chemistry subject about plastic...i think it pretty easy if you want to make your own molding man...the machine cost 5 k...but if u make many n sell u probably get ur shiet back....i think u need help to start off the procedure....ask friends....nothing is impossible

All I can say is "U must have worked so hard in those chem labs"

i dont recommend getting any aftermarket fiberglass fenders..
<although they're not 300-500..more like 175 ;)> due to the reasons that they are poorly made...they have fitment problems which require some custom work <which the shop will charge you more for labor>
secondly...if ure involved in an accident...there goes your front...
stock fenders should help somewhat in the area of reinforcement..
but definitely not flimsy fiberglass..

but if youre willing to risk..
i say lets just get a local shop to paint ur fenders..
save the money on labor and install them urself..
get a helm manual book and installation should be a breeze ;)

the problem is ... manufacturer does not have those "fancy" looking fenders and low-profile bumpers

Of course, installing those yourself can save some money. Same thing with fixing the car yourself can save tons of money. But, if everyone can do it like you and I, then there is no mechanic shop open (law of nature) !!!

fancy fenders get old quick..
believe me...almost everyone i know who were into those change their minds after awhile...

as for the installation...
i suggested for him to get a helm manual...
it really helps the cost of labor..
if you can do it urself...why pay others to do it?

It's true, I've seen lots of guys like that too. But hey, if they're so excited about getting those "fancy" stuffs to add on and have money to go for it, who's gonna stop them? U or me
