Ok this maybe answered in this tread, if so forgive me. But are you going to be offering this bumper as a kit? If so when will one be available, and do you have pricing??
Thanks

I'm almost there, still working out things like best lay-up proceedures, material requirements, work hours, etc. I'd like to fabricate it as light as possible without being too flimsy. Having issues with gelcoating because of that. I started #002 last night with 32oz of gelcoat, but looks like it's still not enough due to a little alligatoring. So, looks like I'll bump it up to 40oz on the next one. It can be smoothed out with glazing putty, but it's just extra work that's un-necessary. Now if I can vacuum bag it with carbon fiber that would be crazy. Ofcourse I know I'll have to charge at least us$1k for that one.

Hey HC, or someone, Can you PS an 18" or 19" on that to see how that would look ? Thanks.

Well, I'm pretty comfortable at doing interiors now, but being that this is my first exterior body panel it is a different learning curve for sure. One would think that starting off small would be the best way, but I guess I was asleep when they taught that lesson in class.

Came out nice.
What do you plan on doing with the rear bumper? Should I hold off on my paint job

It looks great !
I am doing the same thing only my nose is 2" wider to cover the front tires and I made fiberglass front fenders
and added 1" to each. it is a slow go but it looks great.
I love your thread and the car looks great.

Great color change.
Well, I have only pondered the thought of a new rear bumper, but the front, IMO, needed more attention. I actually like the GT rear. If anything I would shave down the rear pad and maybe do something about the recessed reflectors.[This message has been edited by Amida (edited 03-27-2008).]

Cool, a widebody. If I get the time I'd like to try doing fender flares. Have fun doing the mod, It was quite the lengthy task for me & a learning experience It wasn't as straight forward as I'd originally thought.
