:iagree: :pics: even a sketch :tup:

Hmmmm.... Maybe i will post some sketches today.
The foam still isn't 100% dry to work on yet. Should be good to go tomorrow.

sooooooo..........when you doing the lights? :)

I may start them next month. Got to see where this body kit project takes me first lol.

front bumper concept
 

:yum::yum::yum:

That is SWEEEET!


LMK if you need anything with the lights:tiphat:

Thanks Meulen.:hello:

:tup:

concept#2
 

I DIG!!!! even the fast and furious roof scoop! :):tiphat:

I think this one might be too extreme lol.
I like the front bumper, minus the fog lights:icon14:
and the side skirts

I have literally 30 pics to look at.... Most r pretty tough to make in real world without spending $100,000:roflpuke2:
I will take what is realistically able to make.
Once i have the bumper 50% I'll post pics of it.
Side skirts...... I'll post when they r 100% done:ugh2:

I like the front to, minus the fogs :tup:

This is pretty much the concept im going with...

I know wtf is that right:icon14:
That's the first 2 templates for the CF going inside the mouth of bumper.
As simple as they look...... They were not easy to shape :roflpuke2:

That's insane! :ugh2: actually, I don't know what I'm looking at even after reading your description. :inoutroflpuke:

On another note, I showed a few photos of your Z to my colleagues, they were :drool: ing:tup:

that llooks INCREDIBLE! I like the way you took the extreme renderring and made it more realistic. Like a design and engineering department working in tandem should!

When you finish those lights you should use some 3m Di-noc to tie in the carbon in the front! :)

:icon18: thanks buddy

I actually have new 4D CF vinyl. Its 100000x better that the 3m cf vinyl. U can't even tell it not real cf unless u really look really close. But because i have real cf all around... I don't think i should go fake:ugh2:

Update on the mods..... A few more weeks and it should be good to go.
I know it looks very red but the carbon fiber looks more like the darker section, is in person is almost a perfect colour match to the 40th.

Looking good, :tup:

Thanks brother:icon17:

Cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Me too lol. I hope i can get there:rofl2:

You will. It just takes time.

Im half way there. The next purchase for the bumper will put me balls deep:icon14:
No turning back for me once i commit. This weekend I'll have time to hopefully finish the inner "mouth" of the bumper. If that works out, I'll post some pics and make that last big purchase:tup:

picked up a new CF part today.....the cheater lip is in:wtf2:
Time to get to work;)

:rock:

The cheater lip
Chop cut & rebuild.:nutswinger:

Nice so you ended up getting it in cf :tup:

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:

So now im thinkin of scraping the idea of the bumper.....:confused:

What!? Why?

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:

This is true:rolleyes:
I guess we'll see come the new season;)

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:

OMG! :excited:

this is the best news I have heard in a while :tup: :tiphat:

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:

Good job! Can't wait to see it.
