A new day is dawning in automotive styling led by Dare 2B Different!® Motorwerks. We all know the only constant in this world is change. Both evolutionary and revolutionary change bring about new things that often amaze us. GLASSSKINZ(R) is Dare 2B Different!® Motorwerks latest design introduction . We have thrived upon these principals since 2004 developing unique niche market products with OEM or better quality. As the automobile market marches into the 21st century, glass is becoming a more and expanding part of styling as new technology allows us to bend it in more extreme ways. The new larger glass panels present a glass scape that remains undeveloped. The new generation of muscle cars, JDM, KDM and Euro all convey this trend and have been a great inspiration to us in their modern designs. In our eyes, the large rear glass panels are just begging for some styling. This led to the creation of GLASSSKINZ® a fluid design exercise turned into reality. So unique, the U.S. patent office awarded us our PROTECTED UNDER US PATENT D843,902S Status!
