If you have never worked with fiberglass parts before you may be in for a surprise. I have never seen a fiberglass part from any company that did not need extra work. Mold marks will need to be sanded down, pieces trimed to fit, etc. The Rear fenders from Inovations will need to have tailight mounting brackets fabricated and if my memory serves me someone on the list had purchased a set of Inovations front fenders that needed headlight assly mounting brackets fabricated. The parts from Inovations are very well made, all hand laid fiberglass and not chopped. I have been happy with all of the parts from Inovations and I don't have to worry about rust, plus there easily fixed if damaged. I think you may want to check with some of the people on the list or NONA for some NOS or good used metal parts (they are still out there) if fiberglass doesn't sound like your cup of tea.
