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.

I looked for a good rust free front trunk lid for some time.
Then I really screwed up and trusted an asshole that has a
great reputation on Pelican to get me one.. He paid for
1 with my money And it "got lost" by Greyhound when shipping.
It resurfaced a few weeks later and supposedly
Greyhound wanted storage costs..
Idiot told them to shove it without asking me and then found
a real piece of shit one locally and delivered it to my body shop
Owner of the shop called me and asked what he was supposed to
Do with that rusty piece of crap.
A lot of the exchange is on Pelican 914 Classifieds..
Had to buy another one myself.... It was real clean.

I screwed up and trusted the guy with the reputation.....

Then he shows up here peddling his services and says he
cares about his customers cars...
Yeah, he sure cared about mine.
I keep the hood as a reminder of what a dirtbag he is...

So, be careful where you get 1 if it has the ship..
