I saw the prototype part at DMCMW today.
Very good quality and very light weight when
compared to a stock front fascia.
I saw the part not installed, so I could not
see the actual fit quality, but the finish of
the part was very high quality. Having the
upper mounting bracket integrated is slick.
I really think the rear fascia should be done
using the same technique "now" rather than
waiting for stock parts supply to run lower.
Having both new parts of the same type and
quality will raise the bar on any restoration.
I would recommend SS studs on the bottom
mounting area of a new repro rear fascia.
Later,
Rich W.
Could someone please ask to see pictures of the finished part mounted on a car?

James, appologies.
If you get time, would you please take some pictures of the painted bumper mounted on a car? Preferably some low straight on shots.
Do you know what color gelcoat these will be shipped in?
Do you have a ballpark price for shipping in the U.S?
Will all the flash be trimmed from these before shipping along with all holes cut out?
Thanks!

When it gets installed on a car, I'll be happy to do that. Not sure when that will be, probably not until after the 1st.
These will come in white, as shown in the earlier photos. Black ones may be available, but the supplier uses that color for the "flexible" fiberglass and we are cautioned against these for the reason of future repair-ability. In any case, the black should not be used in place of painting the black areas of the fascia.
Flash trimmed,yes. Holes drilled/cut, no.

James,
Thanks for the quick response, sorry that mine has been delayed. Nice job on the fascia! Considering that the one currently on 20098 has an eyebrow and scuff, I may be in the market sooner rather than later.
Now that I've moved to Arizona, full time, as of this week, I am sure that the sun will do wonders on my original part and those eyebrows will soon get worse. Though it will be stored indoors, I now have the ability to drive it year round rather than keeping it off the road for 6 or so months out of the year as I did in Connecticut.
Looking forward to the rear fascia being reproduced as well. I agree that having the rear part done sooner rather than later would be a huge bonus...hopefully it comes to be.
