The low tooling cost for large products with compound curves and molded in features make fiberglass the material of choice for products like bus hoods for the transportation industry.

The ability to adjust the type and quality of fiberglass that is utilized give design engineers the unique ability to design in long term durability with the least amount of weight and cost. Brackets, reinforcing ribs and hinges, and other hardware can be mechanically fastened, laminated or adhered in place to the backside of the hood.
