    New fiberglass fascia / bumper cover

    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.

    The company that we've contracted with to produce these for us typically does the "flexible" fiberglass in white and the "rigid" fiberglass in black for all their other products. The black should not be considered an acceptable final finish for the black areas of the fascia.

    Any chance that instructions will be included or referenced on how to trim and fit the fiberglass? It's not something that I myself am familiar with.

    James these look totally bad ass. I'm surprised by the lack of fanfare and excitement from other people on the board so far. It's cool to see the recent wave of these newly available parts. Fascias, windshields, binnacles, fuel level senders, etc.

    Thanks for your hard work making these new parts a reality!
