VFN Fiberglass Front End Is there anyway to hang a VFN fiberglass front clip on a full body car?
Looking to cut even more weight out of the car and i figure getting rid of those front fenders is a good way to start.
Has anyone modified one to work with pop up headlight?
My class requires working headlights.

Anything is possible I suppose...but those front ends aren't even close to fitting on a full body car. Local guy has one and it took 56 hours of fiberglass work to rough it in to fit it to the car.

Just replacing the panels with glass isn't worth the effort. If you plan to cut most of the black metal out from behind the fenders and facia, then you'll make a dent in the weight.

I remember several months ago,seeing a thread about this.The car was a red ta.There were plenty of pics and it looked really good,but even the owner said it was a real pita to fit it and not really worth the trouble.

A local guy here has the front camaro one piece clip. I believe he said its like 6 inches or so longer then the stock clip and needs a whole new mounting system. Looked to be a pretty cool piece though...
