I know someone who makes them. But I dont know if they are legal thouugh. He builds drag cars and uses fibreglass panels there.
He offered to teach me how to build an engine for my gem, and I was thinking of taking him up on it, and maybe asking if he can make me some panels as well, or teach me how to.
I will let you know spud. |

how much weight reduction? theyre obviously not there for looks; a mate of mine has fibreglass front guards and bonnet on his car, and even though its 'high quality', its still pretty ordinary |

seems a waste of time unless u r serious bout gettin on the track. i know a bloke up here who races a super sedan class coupe with a 4age was in zoom, he got his guards/bonnett/rear quarters from a place in bris, can't remember who but. he also made trick ally doors, light as without the guts in it bout 2kgs a door! |

and better weight distribution, if its the front panels and thus better handling. |
