Fiberglass Nose

Guys,
I just bought a harwood cowl hood and the guy basically threw in a complete set of ground effects with the front and rear bumper cover. The parts are made of fiberglass. I have never seen anything like them but figured if I was getting it all for the price of the hood why not. Is there any pro and cons to these things. They are brand new. May sale them cheap if anyone is interested.
Thanks and Semper Fi

it depends, if it has the openings for the headlights than is just a fiberglass replacement, usually race car set ups dnt have openings since you dnt really need headlights turn signals etc.

Re: Fiberglass Nose

The front stock bumper on these cars always looks wavey IMO. At least in Arizona they do.
I would love to upgrade to a glass one that I could tweak to make it look perfect. Does the Harwood guy have any more?

Re: Fiberglass Nose

They do usually take some work to get them to fit, but if you paid less than 600.oo for all that then you got a good deal.
Check here www.vfnfiberglass.com If your parts look like this then you got a very good deal! VFN has the best f-body fiberglass parts IMO.

Oh.... And put me in line for the front bumper cover.
