Yeah, they'll fit (IF) it's the F360 and F430 replacement styles. Troy and I was reviewing some time ago and we discussed the idea, but come to the conclusion....those puppies don't fold! The company I was looking into isn't the one you posted and noted they are direct replacements. However, from the ones you posted, it seems like they fold?

The blue F360 ones in the pic (original) are from this past weekends car show, which do fold. The one from the link (replicas) don't fold. Did notice that link #2 has them in Carbon Fiber and FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic?) at close to half the price.

Here are some more pics of the replicas...

After some fiberglass matt & some filling & sanding the hood is coming along nicely.





And some filling & sanding on the bodywork is looking good too.....

Archie it's looking good. I have to say I'm impressed with the office chair holding up the rear. I never thought of that. I'm going to have to try that @ home.

Word from the wise.... Start saving early and bit by bit in a separate account.
The way I'm able to afford this is I gave Archie my first born child... Here is his recent picture.
