I haven't seen any fiberglass 914/6 tins in person. Are the ones available any good? Anyone got any good pictures? How what fitting them up?

The stuff I bought from Getty fit absolutely perfect. I bought the raw amber fan shroud first. It did require some trimming here and there. After seeing the RSR's at the porsche parade, I decided I wanted the engine tins in the same amber finish. The fit was litterally perfect. I left the large double pully for AC on the crank, so that had to trimmed, but other than that I did not alter them in any way. I was actually surprised at how perfect the tins met the rubber seal.
I used the old licence plate technique to get the motor in the car. I stuck one each suspension mount as the motor went in. Worked perfectly - like a shoe horn. The front RJ mount never posed any problems in my experience. The last picture is very poorly lit/cell phone. In person it looked much brighter/cleaner. Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)
