We missed having them in time for the Open House earlier this month, but here are the latest photos of the fiberglass front fascia aka bumper covers. The unit shown in these photos is the first piece out of the mold, and we should have it in our hands sometime next week. From that point forward, these will be available for sale. Note that we were able to integrate the 105678 "Front Fascia Reinforcing Panel"! Pricing still being set...

Nice! Will you guys sell them like this or painted? If you send them just "primed" would you supply the proper paint codes?
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

Very cool. Do you plan on selling them painted or unpainted? If painted, what shade?
Edit - Sean beat me too it. Great minds think alike I guess.

They'll need to be fitted prior to painting, much like a fiberglass body kit. They will be in gelcoat finish, we will have paint codes to provide.

Where's the "I'm in love" emoticon?
Awesome work, James! With the exception of the reinforcement plate, will all the other hardware (e.g. headlight buckets) attach as always?

That is something I think the community has needed for some time. Is there any chance the gel coat can be done in black, or even a semi-gloss black?

Be nice to get some consistency with fascia color too. It seems the OEM color has been dying out.

If you feel like making a drive you can check it out in person. The car in the pictures will be here tomorrow with the white 'glass fascia still in place.
The car will be up for sale by spring. Without pinstripes!

I just might do that! I was wondering if it was near the shop or shipped off to parts unknown. It may be the last substantial drive do with the D this fall.

As I recall the ground effects are rather thin and flexible to some extent. The facia is more rigid by far.
I recall Mr. Robinson saying he mounted his headlight bracket assemblies upside down. By doing so this eliminated the need to flex the top of the facia for screw access.
This might be worth looking at as an alternative. We won't know till it's tried on one of these fiber glass units.
