I would definitely pay some good money for a 1pc front bumper/nose with extended front airdam/chin spoiler. I would also like some fenders with atleast 1" flair. I'd also like a power buldge hood.
Get her done!!!!!!!

Do you have any pictures of these fiberglass items that you make? I'd pay for the fiber glass front bumper and fenders, posibly hood, but it would all have to be GTA style, no vents in the fenders, no antennea, and vents in the hood.

carbon carbon carbon....
I would love a set of carbon fiber fenders with the 81 Z28 louvers in them (that flow with the door jams) and a carbon fiber inverted cowl hood, must be bolt on.
BTW I was not going to leave it bare carbon fiber if anybody was wondering

Not sure if this post is still alive, but - I would definitely be interested in fenders. I've got an 84 Firebird SE. I might go for a hood, I would have to see one first, but I would send money out tonight for a set of fenders.

That's too bad- another thread promising cheap fiberglass parts and not coming through. The reason its not available is because its hard to make a good quality product for what the average guy is willing to pay. I'd be interested if I could get a whole front end for $350-$400, but its not going to happen.

From the first post, it was pretty obvious that this wasn't really gonna happen. It was just a guy with a dream of making fiberglass thirdgen parts as a business talking a big game with no proof of product or capability to produce. Who knows, it could be Shane "therckid" with a different username. I also agree that fiberglass fenders won't save significant weight, if any. Take a look at how thin the sheetmetal is or pick one up sometime. They can't weigh more than 10 lbs each.

i agree theirs probably not much weight savings in switching out a hood or fenders but if you do the entire body it might add up to something.

Does anyone know if anyone makes a fiberglass Iroc/Z28 style hood with the recessed areas to add the louves?
I'd love to replace the heavy steel hood, but I can't seem to find the factory style anywhere.

You guys realize this will never happen? This kid didn't do his research at all. These "shipping rates" he is claiming are insane! I payed $150 to Hawks to have my hood shipped to Maine, so you guys do the math. As for all this production non-sense, it wont happen, it takes money to make money , as well as some brains, and by the sound of it this kid has neither. Not trying to be mean or anything, and if he does make hoods, fenders, etc then more power to him, but I'd be concerned with the fittment etc. Just my 2 cents

well, i picked mine up because i'm an hour away. That sucks they did that. If i wasn't so close, i wouldn't do business with them again. They were so nice too, that's why this is so susprising to me.

If you want fiberglass or that cheap plastic they are using now, buy a 4th gen. I love my ALL METAL BODY on my 82 and unless I was really looking for major weight reduction I would not start here.
