Default VW hot rod fiberglass one piece front end

As some of you might know we started producing fiberglass pieces for various vehicles and I just wanted to show a piece we just finished up and sent to a customer in Europe.

It was for a VW golf hot rod style car...

Awesome! Did you guys buy Franks stuff by chance or is this all your own?

It's going to be nice to have somebody somewhat close who can build me stuff!

Yes we purchased Franks Custom Fiberglass in PA. He's hanging out in Sicily for A LONG TIME! lol

We are already making brand new molds for different apps...

Drift/Drag/Road race applications so far. We are open to any suggestions!

The cats out of the bag now.

For the RR stuff, are you using any kevlar in it to keep it from shattering on impact?

Yep! We can offer it in a variety of ways just depends on what the guy wants to do with it you know...

Like for the drift cars...you KNOW they are going to just tear it up and need another so they usually want whatever is the least cost but still maintain some type of structure and good fitment..Wide body panels etc to clear the tires. Sometimes some JDM vents.

Working on a sunroof plug for a guy's SFWD style sentra that plugs the sunroof but with a lip so he can just pop rivet or bolt it in...

Met Tex and crew friday and watched them make some doors. He does great work and we will be getting some doors, a hatch, and a custom EF frontend very soon.

It was great meeting you Tex.

If my front end wasn't already mounted I'd trek the car down to you guys to do a nice custom job! I may need some advice on one of my doors from frank though lol I can't get it to sit flush near the bottom
