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.

If i was where you are now

I would be trying to do it in carbon fibre

Pain in the ass yep

Expensive, hell yeh


But while your there might as well do it as best you can

Or if you like i can recommed a guy who can turn

Your beat down stock steel hood back into perfection
He has done cars featured in hot vdubs mag
And does all the dealer cars that dont have insurance

Did the door on my 914 was great
But out of respect for his craftsmanship
I only pay him in cash


Only guy i ever saw who could just
Hop on a 914 , pull it into his crowded shop
And never so much as grinded a gear .
