Fibreglass Kits

[mr_crust]

hi all,

im looking at getting a set of veilside skirts and rear bumper and have got a decent price on it,

my only concern is the fact its fibreglass, are they legal in VIC?

is fibreglass any good or do they crack etc?

It cracks easier but it's also easy to repair *shrug*

i have heard they are illegal but then pft who cares. I'm not 100% sure wether they are or not though.

fibreglass is only illegal as far as im aware in the bonnet as it has no crumple zone blah blah... id say u would be safe... but don’t take it as gospel i could be wrong..

IM with u, im sure if u go pulled over in your skyline they they would worry about a thousand other things before your kit.

Just DO IT!!!!

Seeing that you wouldnt really be able to buy a plastic kit other than a oem nissan item you really have no choice

Veilside skirts and rear bumper, now that illegal.

Veilside skirts and rear bumper, now that illegal.

whys is illegal..

well im gonna order the skirts only for now from fibrecrazy and see how good they are in quality and then see if i want the back bar..now i jsut gotta call vic roads and see if they say its legal or not

[Jackie]

I dont really think it is.

When i smashed my car my fiberglass front bar was absolutely shattered in peices on the ground, the cop never said anything to me. If it was a big issue i would say he would have fine med on the spot because i can assure you he did want to fine me on the spot but he had nothing to get me for.

[mr_crust]

well i have contacted vicroads and they gave me the go ahead for a fibreglass front bar/skirts/rear bar so long as they are 10mm of the ground, have all lights still visable and dont extrude from the car in a dangerous manner....SO ITS ALL GOOD!!!!

word of warning a fibreglass bonnet or carbon fibre cannot be used unless you have an engineering cert as it effects the cars crumble zone

[Jackie]

are u sure 10mm or 10cm???

[mr_crust]

sorry jackie, 10cm off the ground

[Jackie]

lol thats ok i thought no way 10mm u wouldnt even be able to drive anywhere without ripping off ur front bar

[mr_crust]

well after the ok from vic roads i ordered just the side skirts alone to see the quality from fibrecrazy, and i must say they were exceptional. Also considering i ordered them yesterday or recieved them that night, the guy made a specical effort to personally deleiver them to my front door at 9.00.

Here are the pics and if anyone wants to see what they look like on the car (veilside e1), mind you these are just sittiin on the car without sickaflex or self tappers so im real happy. Now i have to get the front lip and rear so once i get that, by the end of the week hopefully i can get her booked in to get sprayed

[Jackie]

looks good. Fits really well

[Ruffels]

if you dont mind me asking.. was it expensive?
