P.s anyone wanting 70-72 chevelle fenders message me and I can speak with my carbon guy get him to do a small production run . The fenders are going on my 70 but I sent him brand new 71 fenders so no marker light holes.

Ryan, I know that you are aware of the differences in those two fenders, besides the marker lights. If they get made just like the 71's, your 70' headlight extensions won't work at all...two totally different fenders behind the extensions.
I'm no carbon expert, but I did have a chance while building mine (and I still do) to purchase an Anvil hood and decklid second hand for a grand, but the fitting right part scared me, and as Marcus said in his post above, I didn't want to mess with having to sell the stuff if they didn't fit...I just don't have time for that.
It seems like I've read about the UV issues breaking the product down, but if I went, or possibly go carbon, I'd personally paint it all. Maybe leave the underhood exposed, but I'd cover it all up top...Just my personal taste. I came very close to buying the carbon doors from Ultra. The price is super affordable, but I asked my self why, and kept my factory units.
