Tyler,
Thanks a lot for the input on the parts. Now can I talk you into directing me to all of the available parts for a second gen camaro? I'd like some detail pics of the front end and pricing on all of the parts you have.
As for being biased, I totally understand. But you were a customer at some point and that you now work with Anvil says a lot. Thanks again.

coolwelder62,
Thanks for your input too. I have heard very good things about Matt and Anvil in general. I never had any concerns about his commitment to his customers.

Ok, now that I have cruised the web site and made my wish list, I didn't see anything on the flat stock hood, front end, door trim,radiator close out panel. I know they are new parts and maybe just have not had the time to update the site, no problem.

But it did leave me with a couple more questions. Other than cost and weight is there any difference with the 100% CF parts and the parts with CF on top and fiberglass underside? Has there been any problems with the parts separating at the joint between the two materials? Any warping issues with having two different kinds of materials bonded together?

Again, Thak you very much for any input here. I am a CF rookie.

I installed a set of A-pillar covers in my car and was really impressed with how well they fit. They made the stock A-pillar covers look like a joke. I have to believe that Anvil invested a lot of time into the fitment.

The difference in the Carbon and CF panels (CF being carbon Fiberglass mix) is the underside. On the pure 100% carbon, the bottom is just as nice as the top. On the CF panel, the underside is black painted fiberglass and has a great smooth finish, just no bare weave showing. The panels will be just fine on all aspects as far as bonding, warping etc. They really aren't that dissimilar to cause problems. It is typically a show aspect for going 100% carbon to show off the underside if the top gets painted.

Tyler,
Thanks again for answering all of my questions. I think my mind is made up. I just need some pricing info on the stock flat hood carbon/glass,front end and radiator close out. (you can PM me if you like) and would also really like to see some more pics of that front end installed. I am thinking of going Silver on my car and the parts installed on the silver car in the pics look great but I would like to see a front view and also a shot with the hood closed so I can get an idea how it looks overall.
Is there a build thread on that car on this site? Or somewhere I can see it without having to take up more of your time?
Eric

Thanks Scott, I will be getting the A pillar covers for sure.

The filler panel is $325, the nose piece is $899, the hood is $900. I'll get some more pics of the car as we move it outside. It is in a cramped space and hard to shoot well.

Tyler,
Thanks again for all the info. More pics would be great but I know you are very busy there. When you have time, I can wait.
I am pretty well set on the parts I want and think I have figured out a paint job that will compliment both the car and the carbon panels. That nose will be key to pulling off the whole look. Now to find some wheels to tie it all together! (Jason, are you out there......

Thanks again.

Eric
