Yeah MMR has them but my friend just got one from them and it's cool and all but total not including paint costed him around 1100 bucks for it .... for the front end, mounting kit and shipping.. and he said it took them a while to get it out to him... so i figured i'de try and make one.... and it's going to be CUSTOM too.. so i like that... but we'll see if it works out... if it doesn't then off to MMR i go.. but i'll keep you guys posted...

Re: anyone every MAKE a one piece front end.... i am hopefully (92boostn'hatch)

Well dudes I started on the hood this morning and i came out pretty damn good, well at least I think so... it's still a little rough just like the fenders but it's only the first layer.... I still have to glass the hood into the fenders and front bumper... then throw on a couple more layers and sand it.... let me know what you guys think... go ahead and say what you feel...

Re: anyone every MAKE a one piece front end.... i am hopefully (Daniel)

I'm glad you working on your fiberglass skills but that is just nasty. The non-performing nostril front end is sickening (in a bad way). MB out in Bakersfield makes 1 piece front ends if you want a design to work off of. They also make doors and hatches. Seeing as you have fiberglass skills, i think you would be better served copying there design.

I did the same thing on my ek. This winter I slid on ice and hit a parked car, not hard, but just enough, and the one piece became about six. Looks very good, but took about 45 hours to complete, and two seconds to completely destroy. Be careful!

shane, make me a fiberglass oem hood!

Looks good man, can't wait to see the finish product. How is it working with fiberglass and where did you buy the materials? I have no clue when it's comes to that stuff!

Write up a DIY!!

hmmm you do realize that 1-piece front ends are for drag purposes only, right?
