    DMCH Reproduction Fiberglass Front Facia

    My recent accident as earned me a bevy of new parts courtesy of the insurance company, one of them being a new fiberglass front facia. This is a very nice product, and is in my opinion is superior to the original. As this is made of fiberglass, there will never be any warping or "eyebrows". It is very rigid, the fiberglass is rather thick. It comes from the manufacturer "gel coated" and needs to be prepped, pre-fitted, and painted. Drilling all the holes and adding fasteners is part of this process. The body shop I went to did a very nice job. They color matched the paint from the rear facia. I'm due to pick up the car, but I have some shots of the facia before it was installed. One is of pictures shows it still in the box, it came packaged very well. I'll post more pictures once I get the car back.

    Looks great! Next time you are outside, would you mind taking some more photos?

    Also, any side photos of the area below the black part of the bumper where it meets the fender?

    thanks!

    Sales have been so good on these fascias that our supplier is now keeping at least two on hand at all times, rather than building to order. This should mean that you can order one at any time and have it drop shipped immediately to you.

    The car looks great, Chris - thanks for posting the photos.

    Chris... Do you know the color codes/instructions that the shop used to paint the facia. It has that metallic/shine that I'd like to get replicated.

    On the second pic it looks like there are lines on the top face of the fascia. I assume that is just a trick of the light?
