I have been reading many post here and would like to know any thoughts on fiberglass hoods trunks and bumpers? I have a 72 in fairly good shape and I like the look of the painted bumpers. I have also looked at a few places online for these parts and wondered if anyone knew witch ones are good/great and bad.
Thanks for your thoughts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I have Getty Design front and rear deck lids and lower valances all the way around. The lids are perfect without any reworking. The side covers and lower valances will need to be reworked for the flares but as every flare installation is different, I'd expect that.

Are yours the "regular" 914 hood and trunk lid or Getty's "914-6 GT" version?
I'd be curious if there's any difference in fit between the two.

BTW: Dang! Your car is beautiful! Great work...

Thanks Chris! They are the GT version with the balsa. Basically a reproduction of the factory GT lids.

By the way, substantial progress on Cars and Coffee Sonoma. I found a guy willing to lead the effort.
