just forget fiber if can... bad experience with it. PU save a lot of money but initially it will cost more.

Better paint quality, go for PU.

PU and Fiber both also LPPL, sekali langgar mesti pecah.

aunty, ur kenari got put bodykit before meh??..

how about PP ?

what is the difference between PU and PP ?

now i using a FRP bodykit so far ok ..... easy to clean & light weight
PU or FRP also will crack right if bang so drive with more care la... should be ok ...

If i want to make a car fender, 4 side also i wanna make cause i want to "lighten" my car a bit, any idea how much will it be?? Also for car fender, it's better to use PU or Fiber?? Also any idea where can i find those people who can custom made my fender?? I'm looking at old vintage car.

use aluminium...

u think aluminium is cheaper or PU or fiber ah?? compare with this 3 material, which one can be easy to custom made and also cheaper?? also which is lighter ah?

no doubt fiberglass will be easiest and cheapest way.
But it's not durable..It cracks easily.

ur cracks meaning under the hot sun for a long time, it will just crack or what?? i noob at this kind of stuff. but i wanna do some custom fendar to make my car more light.

aluminium will be cheaper than carbon fibre...

what about fiber glass?

fiber n fiber glass the same ah??

Well it could crack if the sun is too hot I guess? I'm not very sure about heat resisting of fiberglass.
But my crack means it can't withstand impacts. Like if you are washing your car, even if you pushed it too hard accidentally, it might crack lol.

Aluminum is a better choice but I have no idea where can we get it done.

Yeap, fiberglass is actually the formal name.

but which is more better to make car fender?? aluminium or PU or fiber wor??

Cracked because of the heat of the sun AND the engine. If your bodykit is white, it will look damn ugly because it will turn yellowish and when see from near, those "yellow veins" can be seen easily. At this stage, the bodykit will become like kueh-ka-pek liao. Not to mention fiberglass is carcinogenic.

If you're not changing bodykits every single month, I suggest you take other alternatives suggested by others such as aluminium and if you can afford it: Carbon fiber.

If i not mistaken, i heard that Fiber can mix with PU right?? So it will be hard a bit yet a bit more impact resistant huh?? Any idea how much will it cost to make a fender using aluminum also where to find those ppl to make it huh??

Depends on you -.-
You said you want light weight, go for fiberglass then, as its very thin so it beats PU or alu without doubt.
Get fiberglass also not bad lah

Buy some carbon fiber sticker and you save the money for painting

Never heard of that..You might want to try your luck at those custom bodykit shop?
