Really like the look of the fiberglass roof fairing on this vintage XL. Wonder what something like that would cost? Really updatesthe look of the bus.
Who sells this :confused:
And, can it be bought in it's raw state as I would have a body shop do the install
(or someone I know on the boards here)...

I think that these are converter specific,I know that Liberty manufacturers their faring.
A 1990 XL - they all are the same. I wonder if this is something they could sell in a raw and unpainted form?
What converters are still around that I could check with?
Of course Liberty is now on the list.

It wouldn't really be hard to do. If you don't have rooftop mounted awnings on both sides it might look a bit different. This looks to be mounted to the cap the entire width. Most I've seen are mounted above the cap. If you mount it to the cap from side to side be careful that it doesn't limit the ability for rain to drain from the roof and fall off the cap.
Liberty won't do it. You may have to go to a custom shop. The cost of installing backing re enforcement & wiring normally prohibits by the cost. If a company wants to just screw some mounts up top , run away.
It looks to me that it is part of the whole back cap.
We got a couple of bids to do that on our H a couple of years ago and the price was $25K+ for both sides.. It really does look good on that XL.Quote:

I am more interested in just the body molding portion than anything else for aesthetics. I would keep my side awnings that are mounted on the bus and simply have this for aesthetics only with no awning or sport issues. Kind of curious as to how that would look?
Tully
This what the side awnings in with upper body molding looks like.

Tully, you need to contact Doug at Excalibur Coach in Sanford Fl he has the parts and pieces to do what your looking for and has done by for the most XL's with the awning conversion.
I will and thanks Bill.

Tully, you might try Hoffman Coach in PA, they have been around forever and I have seen several of their coaches and visited them, they do nice work;
I have the side fairings and not the front cap portion. I do have a rear air foil. I believe the costs are about 3 to 4 thousand... I do not know but it is a great add on.

ReRenga where did you get the side fairings? Was that price for parts, install and paint?
Tully
Good looking! Gary
When CC did the conversion, they placed the side fairings on the coach as far as I know. The gentleman from whom I purchased the coach gave me the cost information. Sorry I do not have any other help. Pres
