I have some friends who do fiberglass but what do you intend to have fiberglass-done?

hi benzmizer,

im planning to install fender flares for my 2000 Fuego 4x2. any recommendation?

Q's.
1. w/c is better? fiberglass or plastic?
2. can either of the two be painted so it can match the car color?
3. if ever plastic is better, any recommendation?

thanks so much..

hi benzmizer,

Q's.
1. w/c is better? fiberglass or plastic? No question, PLASTIC.

2. can either of the two be painted so it can match the car color? As for the OEM overfenders used for the Fuego Sport 4x4, they are body colored. Sporty but subtle. Black overfenders (for me) prject more on the "off-road look"

3. if ever plastic is better, any recommendation? Well, that's the question... would you be able to find one? From a manufacturer's standpoint, plastic (likely injection-type) is better than fiberglass (FRP) due to consistency. FRP are considered "handmade"... ergo, for masspro, this is a liability. Back to my question, would you be able to find one? Likely not since from my knowledge, even the Fuego Sport overfenders produced during the late 90s-early '00s are made of FRP.

So your best bet is: have a local FRP manufacturer make one for you. They may need a copy to pattern the overfenders (that is if you want the size used for OEM) or simply design a new one yourself. But I must warn you, if you are to make one set only, cost would be high for you need to pay for the FRP mould.

Good Luck!

thanks so much..

hhmmm... 10 kms/l. it really depends on your driving style. kung mabigat ang rihgt foot mo, that should be ok. nasanay kasi ako sa economy run driving style eh.
ganda pala ng fuego mo! woot woot!! i always wanted a black fuego pero walang lack noong yr. 2000 model.
we have the same size tires. actually, same tire brand pa. saan ka nagpa lift?

hi toybox,

ito na ngayon ang ginawa ko:

simota air filter + headers + sea oil bio diesel + uni_Q engine additive + heavy right foot (cause im always on a hurry =) )

= 10.9klm / liter

HurraY!!!

FUEGO!!!!

Martin,

At least you know where the consumption is coming from. No worries, we all go through that. Effective planning and time management may help the hurrying bit especially the when the time comes when priorities in life begin to shift towards more economical driving. Hehehe.

About the flares, we can talk about it in the group and maybe we can all pitch in for the mold to make prices more acceptable. Eyeball na!

Fuego!
