Fibreglass body panels....

Hi All,

 

I am putting the Supra on a bit of a diet (so far i have removed 90.6kg) I still have a fair way to go but for future planning i am looking to move onto removing some weight from the bonnet, wings and rear hatch.

 

The thing is i am not a great fan of the bare carbon fibre look, its ok on some things, like splitters, lips etc but not on the large body panels such as above that is unless it was designed to look like that from the factory.

 

I wanted to know if anyone knew of a company that produces fibreglass versions of the stock items? I can see plenty in CF but none in Fibreglass and as i will be painting these panels i have no need for it to be CF.

 

Can anyone help?

Fibreglass bits never look great when painted. They seem to warp a bit. Especialy noticeable on large smooth or flat areas like arches. Bonnets and bumpers seem to escape because due to the shape are quite sturdy or are reinforced with lots of fg, that's why the bonnets are heaver :).

 

Supes are aluminium. So prety light already as far as body panels go
