all depends on the product ...We build our parts in Canada , with specific resins ,there are many different kinds , and usually used is just a "general purpose" resin ...ISO , which we use is good for hot and cold climates , it's more expencive , and some people dont understand that , but I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" . I would put our products up against the factory pieces ... anyday ....

lol slacker,I been waiting waiting for you bro.I seen your link,that is why I was asking ppls opion on fiberglass in the winter.I assume the "smoothed" cowl makes the bumper look better.Do you have pictures showing ppl what these look like? The long bed inc inner walls only require outer fenders right?

bed does need a crate , but what ever else you order usually will fit in the bed , in the crate .

The beds are complete inner and outer ... a double wall . There is nothing else you need to do to it , besides paint .

smoothed cowl is the piece under the windshield ... the piece with the vent holes , and the wipers threw it . What it does , is stops leaves and snow from collecting in the cowl ... Ya know that first burst of snow on that freezing morn. when you first turn on your heater .. well no more .
