Hey guys haven't been here in a while but recently I've getting into fiberglass work and was wondering if anyone would be interested in 1 piece front ends. As these cars are (unfortunately) going down in price, I'm sure many more are going to be used as strict track cars. The Honda guys have been running these for a while now and I'm surprised I haven't seen many other cars doing it. If you're unfirmiliar with it, basically is a fiberglass shell that takes you're hood, bumper, and fenders and molds them as 1. Great for track cars, not so much street cars.

Benefits are plentiful.
Aerodynamics
Super lightweight
Ability to run wider slicks (given wider fenders are engineered in)
Looking like a bamf
Easier access to the wheel wells and front end overall.

Is there any interest for a 1 piece front end for cobalts?

I'm not soliciting a product, just reaching out and seeing if there would be any point in trying it out. I still have a cobalt, and it wouldn't be too difficult for me to do, just want to know if it's worth the time.

 

The reason people run them is because it's allowed in the class. 90% of classes however do not allow 1 piece front ends. The added room to wheel wells and the front end is from a front tube chassis though, not fiberglass body parts. And, the reason people use Hondas are because they're so light, Cobalts aren't. Not knocking the idea because I've been working on a wide front end myself, just that a 1 piece isn't very practical.

 

Oh, and it's already been made lol.

 

Made by who?

 

It's in the GM build book.
