Front lid options and opinions, to fiberglass or not to fiberglass that is the??? Options

[mgphoto]

Looking for a good front lid is becoming a challenge, most are rusted, dented, walked on, frames bent and more rust. After chasing steel front lids for a year or so I am seriously considering a fiberglass replacement.


I would like to hear from those who are using f/g front lids, their experiances, problems, solutions, fitment issues and such.

This a street car the lid will be mounted on, so if you have any photos to share, I would appreciate seeing those images.

Also recomendations for the manufacturer.

I've done some research and would like to know if I am going in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

my experience is pretty limited to one brand.
I bought the QRS f/r lids and bumpers. Saves a lot of weight, but requires a lot of work to look anywhere close to OEM in terms of finish.

Fitment was actually pretty good. I bonded the external skin to the frame to keep it from flapping around, and it's pretty rigid. but I would need a ton of work to get the underside of the hood to look as good as OEM. Right now it's raw fiberglass and resin
