I always say this, but with fiberglass parts I mean it more than anything else...DON'T BUY CHEAP PARTS BECAUSE YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!

there are many manufacturers out there selling stuff but I will gaurantee you that if you try to get out of it cheap, you WILL pay more in the long run. the bodyshop will have a lot more work to do, they still won't be able to fix all the problems, they will be pissed at you for buying the parts, and they WILL make youpay for it

Harwood is one of the best out there for this stuff. one thing you sometimeshave to realize, is that if only one company makes certain parts (I'm thinking fenders here) and they seem to cheap, chances are they are not worth the money

good luck

Amen brother!
Add to that, make sure you get a hood complete with springs. Otherwise if the thing breaks/cracks they will tell you "not our springs, we cannot warranty it". Question I have is why fenders? I realize there are weight savings, but I have yet to see a decent quality set.

I second that. they are mainly used for racing where fit and finish isn't so critical
