I have put my 914 on a major diet, have naturally gone overboard and decided to go with fiberglass lids. I would go to getty design with no hesitation but they do not offer a fiberglass hood without headlight cutouts. I saw that gt racing offers them but am unsure of their quality. So whose fiberglass non-cutout hood sucks the least? Can anybody comment on gt racing's quality? I want the best fitting part possible (bolt on), I HATE working with fiberglass!
Thanks,
Dana.

I dont know when the lenses will be done. I need to send my father in law a new lens so he can take some measurements. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll see if I can get that over to the post office this weekend.

Did you ever fire up the lights with those lenses yet? I saw the picture of them installed, but not with light coming out. I'm really curious to see what they do to the lighting pattern, if anything.
