Default Replacement Body Panel Question

Does anyone know of a supplier of a replacement hood skin for the 968? If so, please post any details or PM me. Thanks, Gene

I know GT-Racing sells one in fiberglass. Fit is likely not the best, though...

FWIW: DCauto has a complete hood (not just the skin) available. Price is within the realm of reasonableness.

Yes, out of curiosity, why are your trying to replace just the skin, as opposed to the whole hood? Seems a complete hood would be easier to locate than just a skin, although fining one in good condition might me another matter...
