Front Fenders.....$265 each
Rear Fenders......$165 each
Windscreen.........$165
Hood...................$215
Trunk...................$215
Air Dam...............$190

Full kit.................$1600

All prices plus shipping.
total of above is $1215

Why is the "full kit" nearly $400 more? Are there extra bits included in the "full kit" that are not listed in the detailed section above?

Just take pics and when you're home at night and cant make any more noises, start a thread! haha

OP is racing this weekend, so maybe next week he will reply to ya.

I look forward to what comes of this

Regarding the weight of the fiberglass parts? I have received my complete Japco kit and weighed the parts. The trunk is 3 pounds compared to your stock part 13 pounds. The hood is 7 pounds the stock is 25. Fenders are 10 pound savings each. Rule of thumb on horse power is 10 pounds equals 1 hp. I hope your questions are answered now. :roll:

Obviously late to the party, however, any updates?

Just for those that might stumble across this thread, I weighed my fiberglass compared to the tin I removed and the full set was worth about 70lbs reduction in weight.
That didn't include headlight assys and hood/trunk hinges and latches that were already off the car.

I can get a set made, local pickup saves all the hassles with these.

Will have to check on pricing, especially for a single set, as there can be a mold setup fee at the shop when they come in. But skipping shipping will easily cover that. lol

Anyway, if you are seriously interested, let me know your schedule and I will get the molds to the shop.

Mike,
If you are doing another run, I'd like to know. Have you shipped a set to the East coast yet?
Thanks.
