Look at 1108 Teaser #1 and #2 to see our fiberglass or I'm sure you can find a competition picture somewhere.

Please keep in mind the different types of strengths. While it can take weight consider that if they make something like their entire frame out of this they might want a padding to keep from chipping and splintering.
