Fiberglass Trends has what you need. http://www.auto-ad.com/fiberglasstrends.htm
Fiberglass fenders $223 EACH part#'S 1404 & 1405
fiberglass doors $260 EACH part#'s 1406 & 1407
Fiberglass Trends is the only place I have ever found to sell fenders, however
Harwood http://www.martelbros.com/harwood/31.htm sells the doors part #'s 12012 & 12013 for $228 EACH, but that was 3 years ago.
Both sell fiberglass bumpers
There are like 5 companies that sell hoods. US Body, ASCD, Harwood, Motion Glass even JC Whitney
Let's see, bumpers, doors, fenders, hood, oh yeah the rear decklid. The above companies have those too. BUT if you use fiberglass doors, you need lexan windows and there is no reinforcement in the event of a crash. Fiberglass fenders sound cool, but the price really does not justify the weight savings. And finally your bumpers will in effect not be bumpers anymore so the first time someone parallel parking bumps into your car your going to wish you hadn't bought 'em. As for the hood Go For IT!
