is the poorest quality piece of fiberglass I have ever seen in my life. At a $160, I was bitterly disappointed. It is about as sturdy as a cardboard tissue box.

Jerry,

Good quality fiberglass parts seems to be the exception rather than the rule. I've contemplated glass parts for my car. There doesn't seem to be many choices though and considering the quality issues I've read on these forums and others that its pretty much a crap-shoot when buying. I'm making my own pieces for what I want. I figure if I'll have to rework the parts anyhow I might as well make my own. Here's an excellent resource for doing fiberglass work if you want to learn and make your own.

You should see the $125 68.5 Mustang scoop that Branda sells. Pretty poor quality. I bought a much better repro from thefordshow on ebay. Had to pay $300 for it but well worth it.
