why not go with exhaust pipe? at least that will take a wack where plastic will just shit itself.

when making it i went with the thought of if it breaks, i can replace ti cheap enough to replace... now i have hit this hard into trees, rocks, walls, ect and all that has happend is scratches. with a simple matt black spray can, all is fixed. oh, and the top came off once (got caught on a branch and pulled off.. (not glued, so i can spin it)
