Really Looking Good!!!

Carbon fiber or black wheels would look great.This has been suggested to me.I'm on old school kind of guy who has to have his wheels shine.
I think the polished metal shows the depth of the wheel better.

Have not been on forum to much.Trying to get car done.A lot of small stuff taking longer than thought.
I like the look of the Mine or Powertrix spoiler extension.
Being a roadster they do not make one.
Thought the mock up was good.Made mold and did Carbon Fiber.Came out distorted and did not fit.
This is a lot of trial and error.Working on mock up again.Will make mold and see what happens.I do not know why this has been harder to do than other parts?
Will be 5th attempt.With time and money involved should have just stopped.
If I have to make more molds; one way or the other I will have a Carbon Fiber spoiler extension.
Starting to get personal.

Went from 2 piece mold to 3 piece.
Changing break lines on 3 piece mold.Useing different foam for core.I will try less pressure pulling the resin through the Carbon Fiber.

Looks great! OEM DRL's look like they were made for that bumper.

I'm in love with the upholstery work.

ZontheRocks · 05-29-2018, 10:19 AM

The whole car is a sight to behold. Keep up the amazing work!

Sent car in for wheel alinement.
Showed technician air cup system raising front end 8".Showed where the switch was and how to work.

Another person went to put car on rack and did not air it up. He got hung up.He then steps on gas hard.

My car has a super light pedal.That is how I like it.Also has a lot of power.
He almost flew off back of ramp.

Punched hole in front bumper and tore off side blade.A lot of stuff twisted.
A few thousand in damage at least.

The front bumper is from Fly1 and took a little over 3 months to get.
I have used this shop for years.They do a lot of tuner and muscle cars.

They will pay but I want to drive this summer so will be doing repairs.

If the shop is paying top dollar, I have an authentic Fujimura bumper sitting in the garage, it could live on your ride and no waiting.

I am joking, I aint shipping that behometh.

Hope it is repaired real soon and you are back on the road. I have to imagine the yearly driving window for sports cars is short in your neck of the woods.

That is the worst part. Losing days I can drive the Z with our short summers.

Hate to make repairs to bumper that was new.Thinking of putting stock bumper on for summer and order new Fly1 bumper.
