'glass F-body?
As mentioned elsewhere, I'm putting a Daytona hood on my recently-acquired Z28. I'm in the process of modifying it slightly at the moment, and then I'll primer and paint it. I really like the lightness of fiberglass, not to mention how easy it is to alter, and I'd like to convert more of my car to 'glass. I found this today, and now I want a whole 'glass front end and door panels. Expensive ($1300, with shipping), but worth it, I think. Now, my question:
Is this a good idea? I know these panels are designed mainly for drag use, but that doesn't preclude using them on a street car. Cost (and difficulty of installation) aside, is there anything else I should take into account before I do this? Thanks in advance.

it says that it is four inches longer, your are going to have a huge gap. Maybe you can trim it somewhere. I was thinking about doing that after my accident, but didn't act fast enough.
