anyone running fiberglass fenders on the street or a whole front clip?

 

not me, but its a good thing to consider, lots of weight reduction

 

i've actually been quite against it for safety reasons but since my car is becoming more and more of a less driven car for daily purposes i've been considering it.

no one here is doing such?

 

Not really. The front end piece of the third gen is already plastic so fiberglass would be heavier. The front fenders are not very heavy because the inner fenders are part of the front suspension supporting the struts so total weight reduction from a fiberglass front end on a third gen would only be in the 10-20 pound range.

Unless you go to a tube chassis and hang the fiberglass off the tube chassis like a real race car, you're not going to save much weight. Just get a fiberglass hood.

 

that was the whole point...hanging them for me anyhow but i'd like to know if anyone is running them because of quality. just want to know which company makes a better quality version.

 

How much do you want to spend?

www.jcwhitney.com used to carry third gen front ends but I can't find a listing any more

 

went through all of that, i'm aware they are available. i'd just like to see some or hear some experiences with them.
