MREDDLE Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Im wondering if anyone makes fiberglass or carbon fiber stock front fenders? And doors that will take a window? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Not sure if there are any currently in production. I think you'd be more likely to find them in an online search if you spelled "fenders" correctly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau M Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I thought he was asking for trout finders. But if you do find some fiberglass front fenders, please report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart628 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Misspellings aside, the only vendor I've seen is Bad Dog Parts (who produce nifty frame rail reinforcements). Check under their Exterior section, but caution in that I don't know if that's current stock. So calling them would be your best bet.

MoNkEyT88 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've seen fiberglass and carbon fiber doors and other parts on a Japanese website. I cannot find it, and the link is on my other computer which isn't hooked up. They were really decent parts, and used kevlar or aluminum in most of the mounting areas for strength. Prices were around 600 per door. I think you could even get the whole side of the body made from fiberglass from them. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

bart628 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looking up American JDM parts vendors, RHD Japan updated their stock to include Kameari FRP body parts which come at a naturally high price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MREDDLE Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thank you for your help. Monkeyt88, can forward me that link, when you get a chance? Sorry everyone for the spelling, not my strong suit. Also, I will be looking to buy or have them made. I will let everyone know what I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 The first one to pop up on a Google search is going to be showcars.com. Search here to see what others have experienced with showcars. I eventually got my parts (bumper and spoiler) but they were NOT the best I've ever seen and showcars was totally uncaring in their response. I will never deal with them again. Just saying be warned about them. Good luck on your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikeman Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I found a website for Z fiberglass body panels. www.smoothline.com I had purchased some of the panels years ago made by Perfect Plastics near Pittsburgh. These are the same molds and the same people making them Very nice parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 i have an email from 04 askin smoothline about their stuff..then thier fenders were $250...now theyre sittin at $475! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnosez Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I had a set of FG fenders, doors, and complete rear qtrs for an S30 that were made from molds that Bob Sharp sold to the general public back in the '70s. The guy I got them from had thrown the molds out 2 weeks before I found his small shop up in New Hampshire. All those FG parts are now on a 260 in Europe and if I had them today I might be able to get back some of what I lost from my 401K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Washington Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Dan Juday just alerted me that some folks are looking for stock replacement fenders. I just finished making molds for one of my customers. I also have regular and solid headlight buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
