- 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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
These are high-quality aftermarket FRP aero parts. For a professional finish, the following workflow is required:
- Pre-fitting: Always test-fit the skirts and pods "dry" before any modification, sanding, or painting.
- Professional Adjustment: Minor sanding, trimming, or heat application may be required to achieve perfect alignment with the S13 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 experienced in FRP products to ensure a professional finish.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will these fit a Silvia S13 Coupe?
The side skirts will fit, but the rear pods are designed for the 180SX (Hatch) rear bumper profile and will not fit the Silvia bumper without modification.
Are these based on genuine parts?
Yes. These are moulded from genuine Type X components to ensure the dimensions and style remain as close to the original JDM aesthetic as possible.
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.
