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.
• Heat-Resistant Durability: FRP is 100% rust-proof. As a "thermoset" material, it maintains its rigid shape under the Australian sun and engine bay heat, 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 AND FITMENT EXPECTATIONS

This is a high-quality aftermarket FRP product. For a professional finish, the following workflow is required:

• Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the part to the vehicle "dry" before any modification, sanding, or painting.
• Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding, trimming, or heat application may be required to achieve your desired alignment. This is standard for custom composite aero parts.
• 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

Is FRP suitable for a Subaru daily driver?
Absolutely. FRP is ideal for daily use because it is 100% rust-proof and heat-resistant, meaning it won't sag or warp in the extreme temperatures of an Australian engine bay.

What happens if I damage it?
This is the primary advantage of Hand Laid FRP. Unlike plastic parts that are often "disposable" once cracked, FRP is fully repairable. It can be ground back and re-glassed by a professional.

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.

Why is there a modified bottom insert?
We have engineered a modified bottom insert panel specifically to assist with structural mounting and alignment, making the installation process more straightforward.
