Yeah they make pretty much all of that (except for the hood dont know if they make a glass replica). A search should give you some links ...

internet search or search here?

Man, i got the same answer to another question i asked. if this is the case how about you guys just archive this forum and send me a cd?

like on the other thread unless something really exotic comes up, it would seem that every new question has been asked be4 at some point, so why do i get the hassle?

Hey stop the whining. These forums ARE archived and the search button is your way to find answers. Sorry to say but if you spent as much time searching as you did complaining about it then you'd probably have the answers already...

But you should always at least give it a try. I found at least 5 good theads with links in them in the 2 mins I have been out of this thread...
Is always better to search than to start a new thread.....

Sorry to come off harsh here, no disrespect intended to you guys, but lazyness and helplessness will not be rewarded. The info is there. What it comes down to is that some of you are too lazy or helpless to do a search so instead you post and hope someone else will do the work for you. Its not really that dificult to do a search, seriously. Put in key words and read. Yeah it takes time. So what.

It took me 30 seconds to find answers for the original question. More time was spent posting about how hard it is and how much of a hassle it is to do a search.

No, you just don't know how to use it, and you're too lazy to go through the results. Sure, it takes time to sift through the results sometimes, but many of these topics have been covered time and time again, and I've been a member here for less than a year. Take advantage of these options, and I gurantee your searches will give you the results you are looking for:
Search for items including these words:
and excluding these words:
and optionally containing these words:
search for exact phrase:

For example, I searched for exact phrase "lexan hatch" and within 30 seconds I had one of your questions answered. Find it here: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...ht=lexan+hatch

The point is, when you ask questions, many of us do a search to find the answers for you. 99% of the time, the answers are there, and it's frustrating that nobody takes the time to do it. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but put forth a little effort.

What's the point of a forum if the same question is posted over and over again? It gets repetitive, people get bored and leave, new/impotant threads get ignored. Search for commonly asked questions and browse the stores of the supporters at the top of the forums, they carry almost everything.

case and point. i used the search function for adapting lt-1 to fbody and got some useful info. but i also got a reply in another post that contradicted everything the search function yielded.

but i will admit i did not use it for this thread. i used all the vendors at the top and didn't get anything except a fiberglass areo wing.

sharing information is good, who knows some1 may have some new info instead of the SOS.

edit: thanx for the info.

well after alot of searching. i find notta on the fiberglass fenders and gta hood.

i have seen alot of glass front ends but i want to keep the stock front bumper since it will be daily driven.

not finding the fenders is no big deal since the waight savings is neglegable anyway but i really need to find a gta hood.

i suppose if bad comes to worse i can start emailing companies and asking them.

also any1 know anything about lexan t-tops? some1 told me some cars had them from the factory but i have not seen any. i think the guy may have been full of it.

also i think there is a slight difference in design anyway. right now i have a set of 89 iroz t-tops on my 87 gta and they don't fit exactly as snug as the originals did.

Lexan T-Tops

I have a set of the plastic T-Tops I think they are like lexan, they are very lite compared to the glass ones. I want to replace them with glass. So if you want them contact me.
