Passenger side quarter panel progressing. Still needs trimmed but moving along nicely. It was very important for me to have the parts tie into the original body lines on the vehicle. Parts are definitely a step or two above the usual fiberglass widebody panels and the initial cost should pay off with little to no bodywork when it goes to the fitment and paint stage.

Not really sure yet. I hadn't planned on it but I am not opposed to the idea. I was just going to store them so if I ever damage the panels I could just have a replacement made up. I will be keeping the molds without a doubt, but I'm not opposed to selling carbon wide body panels. I actually have gotten quite a few inquiries expressing interest. I guess I will have to contact the shop and find out how much for them just to manufacture the panels and shipping info and see if there is interest. It definitely would be a unique part on the market and fitment should be very very good. I guess I will have to see what demand is like, because I know I definitely would have loved to purchase a set of these without having to do all the R&D for the manufacturing. Let me know if you or anybody else is interested and I will speak to the shop about prices and lead times

I personally would not be interested (at least not at this point in time). Just throwing the idea out so you didnt just throw the molds away or something like that.

A lot of time (and im sure money) went into getting them the way they are. Might as well try to make some of that back
