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. Because front-end conversions involve non-standard geometry, the following workflow is mandatory:

• Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the guards to the chassis "dry" alongside your S15 headlights and bonnet before any modification or painting.
• Professional Adjustment: Drilling, cutting, or heat application is necessary to achieve perfect gaps and alignment between the conversion guards and the factory body 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 with extensive experience in fiberglass conversions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What else do I need for this conversion?
You will also require an S15 bonnet, S15 headlights, and an S15 front bumper. Some modification to the radiator support may be required to seat the headlights correctly.

Are these wider than stock?
These guards are designed to facilitate the conversion; please contact us if you require specific wide-body measurements for your wheel setup.

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.
