[QUOTE="rossim22, post: 1305015, member: 93433"] [b]Bulletproof Fiberglass Fenders... literally.[/b] I was throwing around the idea of creating a mold out of the fenders I have now for my '02 CR250, and I've come up with an idea. I want to create fiberglass fenders, which are very strong, however, shatter when hit with a lot of force, rather than bend like plastics do. Fiberglass is used for car bodies, boat hulls, and many other things, so it's definitely strong. Fiberglass would be easier to clean, won't get scratched as easily, and can be painted and clear coated. I could also do some carbon fiber overlays to strengthen it more, and give it a great look. Now... how to make it stronger.. ? I'd use bulletproof ballistics level 1 fiberglass cloth. That means your fenders would be able to take up to 3 shots fired of 9mm full metal copper jacket bullets with lead core at 1293 fps... or 882mph. or 5 shots of .22 long rifle high velocity lead bullets, fired at 1050 fps... or 716 mph. Plenty strong enough to withstand any falls. So... the question is... would you pay around $500 for a full carbon fiber, bullet proof set of fenders, shipped? [/QUOTE]
