Using a kit car part for 05/06 GT?

[drilling]

Chilling Sunday night and watching TV and had a crazy revelation.

Can you use superlite GTR part to repair/restore Ford GT?

They look very similar (side mirror, fiberglass hood and etc)

I've been thinking about the same thing (including headlights).

Good question!

I have wondered the same thing.

Parts availability is becoming a problem for those of us not keeping museum piece/auction queen cars.

No so bad really. Clearly it’s not ideal. Some parts have become obsolete. But we always seem to find an answer
New GT’s are worse for getting parts
Plus the prices have skyrocketed

Its not like OEM ford gt parts are made out of carbon fibers. Its all plastic anyways (I bought one myself).

I'm not buying any more plastic trim parts. I figure 3D printing will be able to replace them. Clamshell vents? Print them as needed and paint to match. Or print them in any color you want. I think that in a couple years 3D printing in metal will be cheap enough to make some of those parts too.
