Will you be doing an engine cover now that you have the clear engine lid?  I really want to see how you mount the glass to the hatch.

Removed the rear radiator support system for final welding...

(The radiator's bolt to the tabs on each side)

Mine are warped bad also as is everyone else's unless they have a John Watson body. As for price, I don't know what price he is getting out of the set, I did some trading and cash to get these. I called him this morning when I noticed everyone was interested in them and he told me he would get a price list together and let me know. I do know the rockers are going to be significantly cheaper then whole set do the the side scoops are made in 2 and 3 pieces and bonded together which evidently is very time consuming.

I hear ya. I feel like replacing pretty much every part of the body, except the hood. It came out nice. Other than that...  ::sad

Yup all g28s are, depending on price I might get some myself but there's so much other stuff I gotta buy lol definitely an easy way to go broke by replacing everything >_<

Drooling. I need those. Mine are warped so badly that I'm not sure they are worth fixing.

Tallon, when I get to that point I will let you know, but my plan is to use fiberglass on the inside once everything is together. I don't plan on taking it back apart and I want to maintain a factory body line between the bumper and body ::beers...

Got another surprise in the mail yesterday ::toothy! Guess who it is from?! It is going to make the side scoops a BREZE to mount, they look like they will almost bolt up strait to the body with no modifications. No more warpage ::K I am still waiting on the rest of the parts to see exactly. I just cant say enough about John and the quality of his parts, Amazing just doesn't even describe how nice his products are ::headbang

Let me know the exact brand of adhesive you use to flange the bumper back together. I've tried the black 3m adhesive and also sikabond which seemed to be permanent on test pieces but for some reason it keeps falling off the bumper I think the sun might be doing it I'm not sure. Trying to avoid getting that stuff jets recommended because it's kind of expensive. Metal flanges on fiberglass by the way. I ground cleaned and bonded all flanges two times I have 6 sets on the rear bumper :\

Fiberglass flanges seems to work best without the issues you mentioned.
