I was considering starting to do this, but I no longer have my MR2 to make the parts from. I've actually just started making a 1 piece front end for a Chevy S-10 (yes, I know, but it pays) He wants a 1 piece that tilts forward for engine access, and it has to have the Silverado SS bumper, TrailBlazer headlights and grille and a raised cowl for clearance of the new engine.

CF is hard to come by recently and less people are willing to pay the higher prices for pieces. I have also been looking into the fiberglass that looks like carbon fiber. It looks just like a 2x2 twill cf, but its cheaper and its also easier to work with.
