Anyone have an experience w/fbrglass front ends?

I was wondering if anyone had used a one piece fiberglass front end on the street? I was thinking about using one on my car but was wondering what all is involved as far as making the stock grill and headlights work and the flip up ones versus the wraparound ones. Thanks for any info.

Remember that a lot of the front end sheet metal is structural. Most important are the inner fenders and the radiator support. If you intend to remove those you would need to replace that strength with steel tubing. Otherwise the front of the frame will be flexing.
