Sorry on the vert rollbar deal, I ended up leaving that company because they lied and I wasn't making any money. But also, I understand you are ditching the vert project anyway!!!

Yeah I think the Vert is sold to a guy in the boro. I still have a 88t2 project but due to the "seperation" I am having to liquidate some stuff. Hence the Vert..
I am finishing up a paintjob/bodywork on a 99 escalade right now, and then this project will go into full swing. I would be more then happy to paint your car along with the front end conversion.. BTW you still have your CBR? I still have my 05 and when the weather breaks we need to ride if you still have it.

After careful consideration the hoods and bumpers are not economical to build. All I will produce will be the fenders and headlight lids. The bumpers will allow you to buy an FD bumper and hood and put them on your FC. I will also build the mounts for the front bumper and headlight lids.

To answer your question. The projected cost for the fenders will be close to $250 for the pair.
The brackets will be determined after I have the actual measurements.
But remember at this point I am not signed up as a VENDOR and will not be taking orders until I have a complete PERFECT set and then set up a ad with the forum.

Well I mocked it up a little today. I am not quite sure as to weither the stock headlight buckets will work. May have to do some spacing of the oem buckets furthur forward to accomodate the hood.

What does w/e stand for? The most expensive part of all this is building the mold. The mold itself will cost me in upwards of $1000 in all actuality. the mold itself in materials is going to be a little over $600 then add in the fab work and purchase price of th OEM parts.. THe fiberglass itself is cheap to work with it's all in making a good mold. The more time and effort you put into your mold the better quality the parts will be, also the effort in producing the parts goes down. Shipping of the fenders will top the $100 mark to most places so the total will be colse to $350 for the pair shipped.
