You could make a fiberglass scoop and it would be strong enough. However you cannot get fiberglass to adhear to the plastic so you would have to afix via other methods. GL

ok thnx man thats what i wanted to know iguess id have to bolt it on or something if id be to do it ...i f i do it ill post up some pics

Fiberglass does stick to plastic.. You have sand the area your wanting to put the resin on. I fiberglassed my door panels in my truck and dash bezel and they're plastic. Alot of people do it with no probs. You'd just have to paint it and paint dont hold up on quads too well.

Hard plastics like in a dash etc yes. but you will have a very tough time getting resin to stick to the polyethelyene that quads plastics are made from. Its a known fact that almost nothing sticks to them. GL

^ either way.. i dont think its worth the time and labor... Fiberglass is a messy process.

i've used fiberglass on rear plastics, it is still holding. works fine, just take time
