first of all, what is the difference between pexiglas and fiberglas? second, does anyone know how much each costs? in our tunks we have that card board and i was thinking of replacing it with pexiglas or fiberglas and i was wonder how much it was going to cost me. also, what type of tools should i plan on using with it? i heard that pexiglas is just like wood. thanks guys!

I am not sure of an exact price, but it will probably cost Alot to fiberglass your whole trunk. If you have never done it before, you should definantly have a pro do it. There are a few peope from the LA area who can probably recommend good shops.

plexiglass is just clear plastic sheeting

fiberglass is where you take fabric, resin and hardener to make a rigid light structure (not clear)

why not just buy a sheet of wood and cut it out?

I you want it to be clear and sturdy then you want either plexiglass or lexan. Lexan is a stronger version of plexiglass and has less flex at the same thickness, but it is more expensive.

Well heres an idea for a price. It cost me $162 for 1/2" 2'x4.5' piece, so to do the whole trunk floor its going to be quite expensive. Its normally about $15-$17 per square ft. My local lumbar yard sells both plexiglass and lexan.
