THE MONKEY WAREHOUSE ADVANTAGE

• 20 Years of Composite Heritage: Hand-crafted by experts with two decades of experience in the Australian automotive aero industry.
• 100% Brisbane Made: Proudly manufactured at our Coopers Plains workshop. Thank you for supporting Australian manufacturing!
• Hand Laid Structural Integrity: Unlike cheap chopper gun imports, our Hand Laid process ensures consistent panel thickness and a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
• Durability: FRP is 100% rust-proof. As a "thermoset" material, it maintains its rigid shape under the Australian sun, resisting the warping common in plastic parts.
• Serviceable Design: Engineered to be a "serviceable" part: if damaged, it can be professionally re-glassed rather than replaced.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

These are high-quality aftermarket FRP components. For a professional finish, the following workflow is required:

• Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the guards to the vehicle "dry" before any modification, sanding, or painting to check alignment with the doors, bonnet, and headlight assemblies.
• Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding, trimming, or drilling may be required to achieve perfect factory-like gaps.
• Preparation: Requires professional sanding and priming before painting to match your vehicle paint code.
• Expert Fitment: We strongly recommend installation by a qualified body shop experienced in FRP products to ensure a professional finish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will these fit a Silvia S13?
No. While they share the same chassis, the 180SX has different mounting points for the pop-up headlights compared to the Silvia S13 front end.

Do these replace the original metal guards?
Yes, these are full replacement panels that bolt onto the factory mounting points, providing a lighter and wider alternative to the original steel.

What is the difference between Hand Laid and Chopper Gun?
Chopper guns spray random glass strands, leading to brittle sections. Our Hand Laid process manually layers glass mats, ensuring a better resin-to-glass ratio and higher impact resistance.

Does it come painted?
No. It arrives in a raw gel-coat finish. It requires standard preparation, priming, and painting by a professional to match your vehicle perfectly.
