    I would say so, considering I had my car custom painted about 8-10 years ago and got a brand new roof panel when i had it done. It was completely prepped and painted outside of the car. It started rusting and bubbling about 4-5 years later, and my car is garaged, and doesn't see rain or snow!!

    If it is fiberglass, it can't rust out!! Where was it when i needed it!

    I'm wondering if this is our friend who was going to make fiberglass bonnets, fenders & doors.
    He was from Poland?

    Not sure what to think about this company - we've seen low rez photos of hoods & etc and the items look good, but no actual photos of products installed. As potential customers of whom he's solicited, we have no idea of correct OEM fitment or anything. I also see st162 and st165 fenders listed on their ebay store which are the same in their photos (but in reality) the OEM items are different :? What, so an st165 guy has to redrill all the body kit mount holes and the fenders won't line up correctly? :roll: I know we're not talking fenders here, but this lack of detail like this make me loose confidence with the seller :cry:

    The pics on the old site were excellent, he had a stock bonnet and a 205 modded bonnet as well

    I tried to contact him thru his site without any luck, If anyone does contact him try to steer him back this way

    Sorry, can't find any of the pics & links I thought I saved.

    His 205 bonnet looked just like Rev_hed's but in fiberglass. I'd like the stock fiberglass hood as that's a huge weight saving,
    the fenders won't save any, but if they were flared.....

    The fiberglass doors didn't go down well, but I don't think they were intended for street use anyway

    ^Odd, his site doesn't list that 205 style bonnet for the GEN4.
