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. |

Well thanks for the replies, I know a bit more.
I see that the post about fb valances got 17 responses, I suppose more of a need of the lower parts than lids. But I do need more info. I though I would add the carbon fibre to the mix. Anyone using this? Fitment and quality, different manufactures? Dansk is selling new 911 front lids for $1600, could a 914 be far behind? |
