Wow! That must've been some surgery! Post ka naman sa Philippine Forum at the FortunerClub.Net. By the way, how is your friend doing with the attempts to fabricate a wheel well guard for the IMVs?

We shelved the project. The direct cost (liner + fastener) will come out to over P200. At this price baka wala nang bumili kasi to everyone's eyes this is only a piece of plastic so why should it cost over P200.- ?

The only material available in Binondo is PVC (poly-vinyl-chloride) which costs P120/kilo. 1 roll is 45ki. with 24" width and 100m length - the bad part is the available thickness is only 0.2~0.5mm. (tooo thin). For the liner, we need at least 2.0mm.

I was hoping *allenjo's friend with the plastic factory can spare some scraps which we may be able to use (para libre na yung material) so we just share in the cost of the mold and pay the vacu-form outfit per press made.

So far, dead end - no material available. The big plastic factories are buying up all the available supply of PE and HDPE in the market.

I think very reasonable pa rin kung below P500 per piece. Kung set of 4 wheel well covers, around P2T...
