451 Demon,

I have owned 5 one piece front ends in my life. The early ones were nightmares. Poor fit and finish. Lots of cracking and splitting after 1 season. Poor paintability, etc.

The later versions were better but heavier, no weight savings. It's also a pain filiiping it up (yourself) between rounds to work on the motor or cool it down.

My advise, go race weight fiberglass, individual panels , from a reputable source. There is a lot of junk fiberglass out there, especially the offshore variety. Remember, you get what you pay for.
