I am wondering on whether to buy a 1 piece front clip for my car or just individual fiberglass pieces. Has anyone used a 1 piece before? I heard a lot about sagging and warping but wasnt really sure. Also, does anyone know about installing the lights and such? How difficult is it going to be? I also wanted to know what anyone thinks about using like a 88 corvettes hood latch and hinges. Any hints or advice on making this work out will be appriciated.

I believe that the 1 piece is only the 1969 Chevelle front.

Check it out.
