Hi,

Does anyone have a lead on a source for balsa reinforced front hoods?

Or if not, who is the best vendor for fiberglass and/or carbon fiber front hoods?

I had a GT Racing hood in the past that I was actually pretty happy with, but I thought I'd see what's out there...

Translog used to be the place to get them from, but since Gary Wigglesworth died, I don't know if they still do that.

I've used his front valence, it it wasn't bad. About what I expected.

THOMAS used their fenders when he started building the Dark Knight. He seemed fairly pleased with them.
