Porsche started using the “raw” GRP after the 547 in the late 60’s.

The colors vary from almost clear to tan, based on the color of the glass cloth used.

I, too, love the raw fiberglass look. If it hadn’t been a fortune, I would have bought one for my Spyder’s T1 instead of the Cooled1 Thing repro.

The material showing appears to be Kevlar.  Porsche used a cloth twill,  The color depended on the type of resin used.  In most cases it was an Epoxy which produced the amber color when the catalyst was added.
