Shaping again. Kinda happy with it so far. Thinking about the exhaust exits at this point. Rear mounted turbo in the works later so nows the time to think about it. There are dual cutouts on the bottom but im not feeling it. Think i spend just as much time eying this and thinking as glassing and sanding !!

The side pieces from the bumper that i cut off initially i trimmed to fit on the sides again. I made a jig with a 4x4 and upright to position the panel where i wanted it and so i could just flip the jig and replicate it on the other side.

My thoughts are on the F 430 rear. Lots of pictures in front of me and im thinking of doing some more trimming 
Cut a opening in. Im going to make a pocket here, maybe for the plate, and possible exhaust exit. Started filling in.

Taking shape, i just cant even think of adding up the hours , days and weeks picking away at this till all hours of the night. Its getting alittle fustrating and im alittle tired of it. Sometimes stepping away for awhile just to come back again hard !!!

Framing and getting the location of the center part of the diffuser, not sure if the exhaust will exit here or on each side of the plate yet. Now about 4 week into this bumper.

Wow !
That is A LOT of work !!
That is why i leave it to Archie and whodeanie hehehe, but for sure i definatly can appreciate your hard work and skills,..very impressive.
I like where you are going. I personally also liked the version (below) that you had before the last modification, but they all look good to me.
Keep pumping out the pics and keep us drooling.
Now i know for sure my rear is going to change to something more exotic. Thanks for the inspiration.[This message has been edited by exoticse (edited 05-17-2012).]

Nice. I can see were your going with this now. Good job and it's way better looking than using the G35 inner parts plus it matches the front.------------------
