Fiberglass Fenders?
Planning to replace the less-than-aesthetically-pleasing F fenders on my race car.
Seems like my options are:
GT Racing stock width (likely a scosh too narrow)
GT Racing 2" wider (would be more than just a scosh too wide...)
AIR 1" wider (they're Goldilock's favorite)
Anyone with feedback on AIR's quality? Any other thoughts?
The standard of the industry seems to be GT Racing stuff, and maybe AIR is a little questionable?
I bought a 'glass hood from them about 20 years ago, and it was quite decent.
I also bought some GT Racing flared quarters, which didn't fit for sh*t...
When I called to relay the info to them, the owner got belligerent with me!
I've since heard that they've redone some of their molds...

IFC has good fiberglass parts. AIR items I heard are better than GT-Racing. It's always a risk ordering fiberglass especially if you want decent fitment. I've had some that fit well and other I had to reglass the fitment. My GT2 flares from Broadfoot fit really well though.

I re-classified my race car for pca to rothmans turbo cup specs.. the rules allowed fiberglass hood. I purchased one from ifc i cant complain happy with it. The only thing that sucks now about ANY body panel is the shipping cost.. allot cheaper if you have it sent to a commercial address.. so i had mine sent to work!

IFC has an interesting mix of pats available....
Their 'custom' stuff is soooooo tacky, it made me think that maybe ALL their stuff was sh*t.
I'll give them a call. They don't say how wide their fenders are.
Maybe I'll buy one of those bitchin' Euro-style rear hatches while I'm about it.
