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.

These are high-quality aftermarket FRP components. For a professional finish, the following workflow is required:
- Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the lip to the bumper "dry" before any modification, sanding, or painting.
- Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding, trimming, or heat application may be required to achieve perfect alignment with the bumper lines.
- 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 this fit a Silvia S13 bumper?
This lip is specifically contoured for the 180SX Type-X front bumper. Fitment on other bumpers may require significant modification.
Is it flexible like plastic?
While we use a high-grade resin that allows for some flex during installation, FRP is much more rigid and heat-resistant than plastic, meaning it won't sag over time.
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.
