I think I have it looking good. Just finishing up the passenger side, then I need to clean up the inner wheel well areas. I need to shave down the carbon fibre fangs a little more for a better fit along the edge of the Mine's lip. After that I'll be repairing the carbon fibre defect on the rear bumper and modifying the fog light hole so the fog light can fit. I also have an A-Pillar project on the go at the same time.

Considering I'm not a bodyman, I think its all going well.

It's only money. If I screw up, I need to buy a new bumper...

I was one of the top custom car audio installers in Canada and I've been privileged enough to have some of my work published in several different magazines.

I'm used to making one-off parts out of almost anything you can think of. Anytime you do a project like this (and this is simple compared to some of the projects I've done for paying customers), you need a good game plan, take your time, keep moving forward. I just haven't done this type of stuff on the outside of the car before and some of the products I'm using now didn't exist when I was getting paid to do custom work. It's feels good to get back into this.
Mr&Mrs and blackcherry20 like this.
