          I like the quarter bumps.

          Either way I'm happy to see progress on this what's it :D

                Cheers man.
                The thing probably only weights about 7-8 Kilos, it's only about a m2 of sheet steel, so not too bad.
                As for ducts, I want to take a fibreglass mould from this as it's likely impossible to repair if it gets dinged. We can play around with ducts and shit then.

                    Yes fogs, and yes splits. Don't veer away from the sketch it's just too sexy.

                      Here's half the puzzle?






                      A little tricky to see the detail so here's a close might help.

                          Looks really good. Are those regular bumpers that you chopped up, or fully custom?

                          Also are you going to make a cut in the flare to make removal of the valence possible?

                            THOSE QUARTER BUMPS ARE THE FUCKING HOTNESS

                            what are they, started from scratch or modified chrome bumper units?

                              As it sits, I think it would look better with that same style of bumper all of the way across. But, if you were to make the missing center section functional with intake and/or brake ducts (or something else) to break it up, I think that would help out a lot.

                              Great work man, I wish I had the time/patience (and skills) to do cool body stuff like this.

                                "I swear E30's have some of the worst panel gaps going."

                                You should work on some Classic American Muscle.

                                I cannot beleive you are going to race this after all that work - awesome!
