I don't have any direct experience with any of the main fiberglass AMC manufacturers. But you could search or post your questions on one, or both of the following sites.
The AMC folks on both forums are very helpful.

For a ’71 and up Javelin there is only a few things available.
Hoods: Aftermarket cowl induction hoods are available and fit “OK”. Unfortunately ‘Franks’ fiberglass made what I have seen and that business was sold.
Rear wings: I’ve heard a bunch of complaints about the fit of the aftermarket rear wings. My factory AMC Donohue wing wasn’t all that great to start with, so if the aftermarket versions are worse, I would find and pay for a factory version as a starting point.
Front chin spoilers are available, don’t know much about ‘em.

These are the three things I’ve seen in person on nice street cars. Some of the other bits I have seen have been race parts and look like it, so while they are available be aware that it will take some time to get it to look good on a nice street car.

Hey Scott,

As Mike mentioned, Frank's is gone. I bought a rear spoiler and a front bumper from him years ago. the front bumper was pretty wavy... ok for a drag car but not something you want for a nice street car IMO (although I am running it on my '73 right now).

more recently I bought a cowl hood and front spoiler from VFN: VFN quality seems pretty good but the front spoiler uses little metal tabs to mount. not a big deal but just mentioning it because I don't think it's stock. the spoiler on my street javelin has molded in mounting flanges...

There's also US Body source. They've been around forever but I've never bought from them so I can't vouch for quality.

Neither place has bumpers.

Can't wait to see what you do with your Javelin!
