[DML] Re: Rebuilding fascias

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

There is no doubt that your idea has merit, unfortunately the cost involved
in design, tooling, and the molds required to stamp the polyurethane would
make the final product cost prohibitive for most owners. Keep in mind that
the product would have to be easy to install with excellent finish
characteristics and of course be able to protect the stainless steel panels
in low speed collisions as the original fascias do.
