Fiberglass is quickly become the substrate of choice for custom car and car racing enthusiasts. Fiberglass has many advantages over using metal. Most notably are the weight issue and the ease of working with fiberglass. Fiberglass molds can be made for almost any automotive panel to lighten or customize. Older muscle cars or vintage vehicle that are no longer in production and racecars are the main market area that we see right now.

The only problem with fiberglass is that you are limiting the types of finishes that can be placed over the substrate.

For most of the vehicle this is not a problem most automotive finishes are compatible with fiberglass. The problem comes with the accessories to the vehicle mainly the bumpers. Chromed metal bumpers add a large amount of weight seventy-five to one hundred and fifty pounds each. This added weight could cause some problems with cars that are primarily fiberglass. The fiberglass body may not support the added weight and cause stress cracks. If the vehicle is for racing the added weight can slow a vehicles track time.

Custom Coating Specialties has a new process XXX Chrome Plating that allows the coating of fiberglass bumpers and most any other substrate. It is called chemical metalizing. The process involves laying down a foundation coat on a part to achieve a truly smooth surface. Then a thin coating of metal is applied using a chemical reaction instead of the normal electrical process. The final step is to place an armor coating over the top. The finished process looks identical to chrome plating.

Some of the advantages to this process are that any surface can be chromed and any imperfections in the piece can be fixed using standard automotive repair procedures. There is also an environmental benefit to using this process. Chrome plating uses several extremely hazardous chemicals and is heavily regulated. Chemical metalizing produces a minimal amount of waste and is more environmental friendly.

Hyundai Joins Race to Build Cheap Cars

Say the word "Hyundai" to some people and they will respond with "cheap cars" as their answer for describing the Korean automotive giant. Known for building the Accent, Elantra, and other low-priced vehicles, it isn't hard for consumers to get a new set of wheels at prices starting around $10K, thanks to special rebates the brand is currently offering.

Put Away The Honda Bikes - Cheap Cars Are Coming

But those prices are a small fortune to people in places like India, where the standard mode of transportation for many families is piling on their Honda motorbike and heading out. Buses and trains in India are crammed with people who can't afford even the most basic transportation, but thanks to Ratan Tata who has promised to build a $2500 car for the Indian market, that is expected to change.

Since Tata's announcement in January of this year, several other global automakers have responded by saying that they, too, will build affordable cars for India and similar markets, though stopping short of saying they'd be able to match the Nano's price.

Hyundai's Absence, Kia's Too

Curiously absent from the clamoring legions of "let's make cheap cars for India" clamor has been Hyundai. Nissan, Peugeot, VW, GM, and several Japanese brands have announced their quest for cheap car greatness, but until yesterday not a peep was heard from Hyundai. Seeing that they already own controlling interest in Kia, some sort of car from the joint automakers could possibly supply the emerging market.

Hyundai's response was made official in a recent interview with Hyundai Motor India managing director and CEO Heung-soo Lheem who told Indian media that Hyundai would bring a car retailing for $3500 to the Indian market by 2011.

Half The Price Of The Hyundai Santro

The ultra-low cost Hyundai car will cost about half the price of its current barebones model, the Santro, which sells for just over US$6000. Lheem said that Hyundai's Namyang Technology Research Center is currently developing the budget vehicle, which will be produced in India and exported to other countries. Hyundai says that the yet-to-be-named model will be far superior to the Nano in quality and performance, likely a good thing considering that the Nano could not possibly sell stateside due to safety issues.

The global trend is for automakers to continue developing cars for emerging markets as international wealth increases and a growing middle class demands their own transportation. Sure, the pressure on the world oil supply will only worsen, but by that time the availability of plug-in hybrids such as the Chevy Volt could lessen that pressure elsewhere.

Throttle body spacer and Cold air intake for a 1992 Chevy K1500 Silverado 5.7 w/206,000 miles. Is it worth it?

I just purchased a 1992 Chevy K1500 Silverado with the 5.7 V8. It has 206,000 miles on it but it runs great! Smooth, quiet, transmission is strong and smooth as well. The only thing that is really an issue is it's leaking a very small amount of oil from the cooling lines, it's very minimal.

I love the truck but I'd like a little more power and throttle response as well as a bit of "growl". I'm not looking to race it or beat it up, but just to add a little bit under the hood to spice up the drive.

Is it worth putting a little money into a truck with such high miles? Any recommendations would be appreciated. This is my first truck and first domestic. I have an Accord and a Odyssey, so a truck is a nice change!

Thanks!

is it worth it?....that,s completely up to you...your not really talking big buck,s with those add on,s.....considering the mileage I,d go easy on that old drive train...but if your just looking for a bit more pep.....consider any easier breathing intake & maybe a better flowing exhaust system...maybe something that will make it sound better , say..dual,s with low restriction flow muffler,s, cat,s , larger pipe,s...might be a bit expensive but I think you,ll like the result,s.....for more power ..consider a high performance chip for your on board computer.....good luck!
