I am looking to buy F355 front bumper, side scoops, and rockers. I searched this forum and sent PMs to those mentioned that could provide them. So far no luck. Does anyone know any reliable sources for fiberglass parts? It looks like we lost a lot of good sources over the years.
I believe Trent Ela (Villain) may be spread too thin. Can't say that he is not reputable but when communications fall off it probably means that there is a problem.

Dennis, I responded to this inquiry in a private PM, so I’m not sure how that equates to communication dropping off. I stay busy working on swaps in person, laying up parts in person, and handling customer orders through my website. For the most part, when people need something, they text or call me directly. I do my best to stay on top of messages, but between hands-on work and managing everything, I can’t always be on the forum 24/7. If anyone needs something, reaching out via my direct contact methods is always the best way to get a response. If anyone has any other inquires, you can reach me directly at my number as I haven’t had alot of time to sit on the computer recently, 407-473-935zero

Trent: I view you as a start up business and things do come up including communications, delivery, dates and the unforeseen. Look at West Coast Fieros. I've dealt with them many times and have had good experiences. If an item is not in stock it must be built and slow deliveries can result. This is what small businesses sometimes have to deal with but for the most part your customers will decide your rating. Offer good products and services and you will do fine.

Sorry I didn’t provide an update sooner. Villain has been very responsive via text. He has sent photos and answered all my questions. The ball is in my court now to make a decision.
I will let you know if there are any issues but I am not expecting any.
This is a shout out to Trent that I meant to post a couple of days ago. He is essentially rebuilding my 88 Formula to get it ready for me to take to Sebring for some upcoming Track Days and he is doing a great job. He has been very patient with me and all of my questions and asks and has been easy to get in touch with via phone and text messages. I really appreciate all he is doing for me. Thank you Trent for all of your efforts. reb
