When I drove up to Reno to pick up my CF decklid and Dan Courtney's FIBERGLASS (now mine!) decklid and airdam the fiberglass pieces were sitting in Larry's shop so he is already making them.
The first thing that impressed me about the NEW fiberglass pieces (besides the low price) was the fact that they are allot more solid (less flex) then any of the other vendor pieces I have seen in the past. What may account for that (and jump in here Larry) increased stiffness is that Larry 'may' have had everyone's vendor add some additional reinforcement on the back side of Larry's pieces....but I'll let Larry respond to the what and why.

Yes, Larry told me the same PERSON was making the parts for PI and Wilkinson,
who each have their own molds. And now Larry has a third set of molds.
PCNC just visited a club member who is a vintage racer, and bought a
basket-case rust-free Pantera. He wasn't aware that any of these parts were out
there, and is halfway through the process of making his own fiberglass decklid
mold too!
