Anvil's second gen Firebird nose & valence - thoughts?

[carbuff]

I don't know how many people here have used them, but I'd like some feedback on the Anvil Auto second gen Firebird nose and lower valence panel.

I read in a thread that the nose was molded with their Formula hood, and I imagine that the two would work well together. However, I'll be using a different hood, so I'm looking for some other real-world experiences with these pieces.

I'm not so concerned with the CF finish quality, as these pieces would be painted. But since I may need a new nose anyway, meaning it would need to be painted anyway, I'd like to at least look at this option.

Also, if anyone has used the nose with a stock steel valence, I would be curious about that combination as well.

On the nose itself, does it maintain all of the original mount points, or does it require some fabrication to mount it to the frame horns? I can't tell from the pictures.

Thanx in advance!

DSE used one on the t/a they are building. I talked to their body guy Jeff and he said he would use one again. He said it took a little work to get to DSE standards, overall a nice part

I really wish someone would hurry up and do late second gen bird stuff.
