    Basically what your saying is The new fascias will be Made-to-Order. Nothing wrong with that. I may be adding it to my Spring repairs. Windshield,A-pillar replacement@ Dave's shop.

    I still think it would be it would not be unreasonable to have a Fiberglass Rear Fascia Option available. You could price it with a premium, for those that want it and and it still be a MTO part. Premium pricing would still keep the NOS stock attractive for those that don't want to spend the extra on it.

    The problem is development (tool) costs. Makes the first one VERY expensive if you don't sell any more for a while.

    Agreed.

    I'm speaking from a consumer standpoint. Whom would prefer to replace both fascias at once and be done with it. Not having too worry about an NOS urethane part eventually shrinking like the one being replaced. For that I would pay a reasonable premium ($300) for a part that should last the remainder of my ownership (40 years I hope)

    I also understand the Business side of selling Inventory sitting on the shelf that is bought and paid for. DMCH makes a much Higher profit on each piece part.

    Regardless, Im happy that at least the front is now available.

    James,

    Any additional information or pictures on these or is this project on hold? Did something happen to it that has caused the delay? I've been looking forward to seeing pictures of the painted product.

    Please let us know.

    Thanks!

    Josh, we've had it back from the painter for a couple weeks but with the pre-Christmas rush and covering for staff who have been out of the office, I just hadn't gotten around to it. Here are some quick photos I took this morning.

    Very, very nice. Looks great.
    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.
