Looks pimp, all of 'em

I'm going for anything spectacular, just trying to keep the ass of my bike from falling apart. The undertail that I've got is simply full of holes

For sure fiberglass is easier to work with than plastic but messy. You could even glass over the under tail you have and and use aluminum for the load bearing parts. You can also get Carbon Fiber sheets for custom fab. From my limited experience, aluminum is as easy to work with as anything else.

Another vote for fiberglass here. You can made a mold out of closed cell foam and go from there. I just finished a little project using that method and it turned out great. I'll post pics tonight.

definitely dont waste your time with acrylic. i have built fishtanks and other straight-paneled structures from it, but leave the molding to the pros.

So the plexiglass idea got pitched and I've decided to use foam to make the mold and then lay the final in 'glass. Wile I'm doing this little project, I intend to upgrade the lights out back. I managed to pick up some bright ass LED turn signals and a plate light, but I'm looking into replacing the stock brake light assembly. I don't need to go the whole integrated route, but I need something. The stock stuff comes in a HUGE housing with 2 bulbs that are, as of right now, a pain in the ass the change (i.e. take a apart the entire tail just to get at 'em) and if you have ever owned an RC, you know how often that can be.

I need something LED and dual intensity. I was hoping to find a dual intensity LED strip light ~4" long so I could just stack a few of 'em one above the other and get a big enough light working. Any ideas?
