What about installing new aluminum siding to the front?
Yes that option also crossed our mind. However, we had a perfect good fiberglass front cap. Plus we already knew that the siding was not available for purchase anywhere nearby. That's why we ended up with an unmatching gray piece to fix the side pannel. We would have had to pay a bunch and wait for truck delivery. The cost and more importantly the time factor was a problem since we had already installed the interior wall board. Had the siding been availble locally we probably would have taken that option.
I guess you still have a few options and I'll throw a few up here. If you find they aren't to your liking, it won't cause me any heartache.
*You could either buy or have made a larger trim edge to cover the discrepancy. Any siding installer with a brake should be able to make this.
*You could buy larger FRP or fiberglass panels with gelcoat to make a new front panel/s.
*You could buy aluminum panel, even with vinyl coating, in basic colors, to make a new front panel/s.
I'm thinking that making a wider trim corner is going to be the cheapest route. If you were closer, I'd be on my way over with trim coil and the brake.
