looks like you know what your doing, would be interested in seeing it in person when you get everything moved to Denver. I'll be there myself after January.

This looks promising, are you building most of this off of the existing stock valence and bumper? Goodluck finishing it up.

OT, Moone what resort do you live at? Ski resort?

no, none of it is off the stock stuff, also ive decied to make the front sides of the fenders part of it, as i dont like the lower section of the fenders, they make the lower part of the nose to short, and i wouldnt have room to put the lip/splitters on the side, as i extented the bottom of the air dam, about 6 inches forward,
im kinda, sorta going for something along these lines:

IMO I would cut the edge of the fender off and weld a lip...then fab a lip of your nose piece to bolt up to that. Thats what I did when making the 944 valance fit my car.



You could even jump up to the upper body line that looks even more like the 911. ...anyway...just and idea.

Yeah, this thread is on my "to watch" list, looks like a pretty nice piece so far, I like where you're trying to take it, I've never seen it done that way before.

Looks good, but I really can't see how that is going to flow with the rest of the car.

I will stay tuned

How's the progress going Mike. I also would like to know where you got the foam stock to work with and what it's like to work with in general. How does it react to the resin?

I have an idea for a bottem splitter ill do this spring
also pretty sure Ill cut circluliar holes as big in dia
as the flat face of the bumper allows with out comin
to close to the edge yea on each side
of the license plate and then Ill add inset round foglites.
I drive alot at night and really need the extra candles I
have a habit of driven with blue lensed sunglasses over my
contact lens so its crazy I could use the candle power.
