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 on the street or track, it can be professionally re-glassed rather than replaced.

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

• Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the grille between the headlights "dry" before any modification, sanding, or painting to check alignment.
• Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding or trimming may be required to achieve a perfect flush fit.
• 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

Does this fit the 180SX?
No, this grille is specifically designed for the fixed-headlight Silvia S13. It will not fit 180SX pop-up headlight front ends without a "Sil-Eighty" conversion.

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.
