Yes sir!
I came across a deal I couldn't resist for a brand new SR lip in CF.
I've already.spend many dollars with 99.9% of that wastes due to learning experience...
The CF is what im.going for and the SR lip is what i need to chop cut and modify.....
That will give me the results im hoping for minus the major mold costs......
Sometimes it is best to cheat a touch:tup:

Its not because it work out, cause im 99% it will. My concern will be if i ever go to sell it and the person doesn't like the look, I'll have to buy a new 40th bumper...
There's a lot to modify with the bumper, crash bar foam and reinforcement to hold the carbon fiber.....
I guess what im saying is that i really want to drive my car soon and this could take another month or so to complete on my car. As of now im working it on the black bumper i got from MarcusZ.

I miss driving her:driving::roflpuke2:

You can always finish this later if you have space for it

:iagree: keep plugging away at it over time if it is a spare bumper anyway. I wouldn't rush it. keep driving your z as is for this year. :tup:

The front bumper mold is finally complete:tup:
Now I would post pics, however this is not your typical mold:rolleyes:
Its actually made of aluminum:icon14:
tomorrow that aluminum will turn to the black/red carbon fiber;)
If all works out, which im 99.9213% it should.......
I will post pics, but off the bumper..... once I work out the brackets...
I will post final look:tiphat:

LMBmikeZ 03-25-2014 06:52 PM

OMG! :excited:

Luciano13 03-25-2014 08:13 PM

I almost gave up on the whole custom bumper project:icon14:
But i stuck to her thanks to a few of you members;). Thursday it should be 100% done with Saturday 100% transferred to my Z:tup:
