I had them do the entire nose, as well as the rear fenders on my car back when I first finished it. It has held up well, and I'm sure it has saved my paint on a number of occasions.
They had patterns from an early Superformance, and they used my car to develop patterns for a Unique.
I've also seen it on several other manufacturers Cobras.
It's not cheap, but you'd waste a LOT of material trying to cut and fit it yourself. Believe me, the install on a Cobra, with all the compound curves, ain't easy.
Good luck,
