I went down this road a long time ago, and came up empty handed.  I would be 
interested in a trunk lid, and maybe fenders eventually.  I was going to try 
to make the trunk lid myself.  The Roadster Factory furnished me a fiberglass 
TR-3 nose piece several years ago, (Frank Stoddard is no longer there).  I 
hope to find time to install this nose piece this year.  

It would be heavier than the fiberglass nose pieces used by the super stars, 
but a lot lighter than the metal nose piece.  This nose piece is not just a 
simple installation.  It requires the shrouding off all of the open area 
around the radiator -- some work and time, which get put off just trying to 
get the car on the track.

I have been using the same very heavy fenders since the early 70's.  They 
consist of chopping the opening a little larger with a fire ax, brazing on 
sheet metal ledges, and using about a gallon of Bondo to make them smooth on 
top.  They still display a few waves.
