no shipping too bad, but great score for the left coasters!

I was told that the 98-04 Ford Focus Side Marker lights on the European models will work on our front fenders.  Here is an eBay link:

I will probably order a pair since they are cheap enough the only problem is that I don't have the fenders yet to be able to tell you if they fit properly or not.

I know john wouldn't mind helping he's the man and he's on a budget so I wonder what he's planning on doing. Unless he's saving all his money for the glass but I don't think he would spend that much on glass.

here is some OEM glass.  They want $3,000 for the windshield and $1,300 for each door glass.  That's atrocious.  For those prices I'd be paranoid of getting a crack in the windshield, Gotta love Lamborghini. ::LAMBO2

Have you tried to go to a glass company?  They can make most any shape out of glass.

Absolutely no luck with glass!

Be careful what you buy for that car, no one around here is building that kit yet and g28 parts aren't oem parts
I'd understand cluster background but stuff like oem dash is bigger than ours, etc. You pretty much have to buy oem parts that is why watson is not even doing replica interior.

Yea i delayed him as I made shipping arrangments for half the kit and now I added the doors. My problem is space, i only have enough room to hang the first half and then when that's done, the second half will be shipped!

Hence me needing the door mechanisms, glass, motors, and hinges! I want to hang these stupid stubborn doors ASAP!

I was thinking you had the kit, I can wait
actually I can't but yeah :P

oem interior panels are upholstered sheet metal? I would have thought they were plastic like most other things. Or the suppliers are just replicating them out of sheet metal for some reason?
I'm wondering what everyone is doing for this stuff (a pillar covers, etc) for the ones that arent using murcie-me's. No one talks about this. I wouldn't think donor car panels match up.
