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 curious :smt006 )

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:

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.

RCMike, are you still offering the fiberglass parts?

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.
