914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Anyone else want a rear FG lid, too ?

He said I need to wait for another "order" for a rear lid. He does fronts, too. Possible group buy, even tho they're pretty inexpensive...

www.gettydesign.com sell the front and rear fiberglass and Carbonfiber trunks for the 914. $499 for FG and $699 for GF.

those lids are not made from a woven fiberglass. look at the inside of the lid. the finish would be less than desirable. The chop strand mat that they are using is so much heavier than a properly made part with weave. I have been designing and building carbon and fiberglass parts for years. I have never built any part out of chop strand mat. The only thing I use the mat for is making tooling. hope this helps.

I agree, the under-side doesn't look like that great of FG work. Wasn't there some place selling GT-style FG lids (with the balsa inserts and all) recently, now those looked good. Not sure of the company though, might have been Getty. I'd love to have some of those CF lids, coooool a little out of my price range at the moment though

HIs rear doesn't have the proper cross brace for the trunk/engine seal. Looks like racer only to me.
