DMCH Reproduction Fiberglass Front Facia

[Michael]

NICE!!! I like the clear coat too! Very nicely done.

Curious, you mention that they gave you the paint codes? Did DMC ever have a paint code sheet/s? You know, kinda like the ones created by other auto-makers where they have squares on a sheet of each color cars produced for that year production?

I looked them up a few year ago and posted them. It should show up on a search. I am curious as to why they gave you the flattening agent and then you cleared? There are two flat tints, one for base and one for clear. The one for clear will dull it to whatever sheen you desire. The one for base is used as a "reflecting adjuster" since all base is cleared over.

For anyone interested, the removal/installation video I created is now available to view on youtube at the below link.
Hopefully it will help people make up their minds and help them out if they ever do this job...

Enjoy...

Excellent video Josh! I watched the entire vid. Thanks for taking the time to do this! I've been debating to switch the facia or not. The paint job came out amazing and the alignment and seams are perrrfect!!!

How hard is it to make adjustments to your headlights?

Adjust the headlights before you install the new fascia. Typically you don't need to do adjustments unless you disturb the angle.

So if you're going to lower or raise the car, do so before you fit the new fascia. ;-)

...How difficult is it to CHANGE the headlights with the new fascia on? Surely Houston can't expect us to have permanent headlights.

If you remove the top screws from under the hood you can pull the fascia forward enough to give you room to get behind the "Ridge" and remove the retainers and wiggle out the headlights

Thanks! That's good to know!

Damn.

Everytime I look at this thread I can't believe how awesome the fiberglass fascias look. I don't think I've ever seen a stock facia that flat with no ripples.
