ABOUT OUR PREMIUM BODY MATERIALS
Advanced Composites Ultraglass Composites High-Impact Plastics Polycarbonate Windows

Advanced composites blends are made with the same manufacturing processes as carbon fiber for similar performance, without the added costs.
Precision Weight Control:
» Up to 47% weight savings over standard fiberglass composite panels
» Parts made with the tightest weight tolerances
Strong:
» Tremendous shear (tear) resistance
» Zero surface deflection at high speeds
Flawless Finish:
» All panels are made with a smooth inner surface
» Buffed to an excellent surface finish and wrapped for ultimate protection
Environmentally Sound:
» 93% reduction in harmful emissions during the manufacturing process.
» All parts are manufactured in our clean EPA environmentally compliant facility
Our Exclusive Blend:
» Others try to mimic the fabrics we use, but they fail to live up to our superior manufacturing process that makes our products the very best
They Reduce Material Use:
» This results in a flimsy part that will not hold its shape at high race speeds. These parts require more bracing which results in unneccessary additional weight

This exclusive composite blend uses special fabrics and laminating processes developed by and only available from Five Star
Ultra-Tough:
» Unmatched impact resistance; no other composite is stronger. Panels that deflect 300% further before breaking equals less debris on the race track and less time in the pits
Ultra-Light:
» Over 30% lighter than standard hand-laid composites
» Parts made to under 5% target weight tolerance
Ultra-Fast:
» Zero surface deflection at all racing speeds
Ultra-Smooth:
» All panels are made with a smooth inner surface (TA2, New Late Model Body, and all LMSC panels dyed black to eliminate painting), are buffed to an excellent surface finish, and wrapped for ultimate protection
Ultra-Green:
» 93% reduction in harmful emissions during the manufacturing process. All parts are manufactured in our clean EPA environmentally-compliant facility
