Thanks guys!!!
Took a couple weeks off visiting family for the holidays, left the spoiler in the mold to fully cure and help keep it's shape. Here is the part out of the mold and just starting to smooth all of the seams where the gelcoat seeps into the joints of the mold. Attachment 86069 First test fit under way.

It just keeps getting better and better!

Thanks!
The fiberglass nose, purchased about 6 years ago, shrunk up a bit, so I'll cut it and reshape to get the shape back. Glass does move if you don't anchor it and this piece has been off the car for some time now. My bad, definitely not the manufactures fault. Fix started today. Attachment 86074 |
Still seems to fit better than many I've seen.

John, I was just wondering if you're going to use a front license plate?
It would be shame to cover up that work. |

I had planned on using the stock grill insert but the re-pop wasn't great and there was a guy at SEMA who hand made a metal insert with larger grids. It was extremely well executed and looked great. I'm going to redesign the factory grid pattern and try to 3D print a revised version. Down the path now, we'll see if I can get it close enough to fit into this nose piece and then fit the fiberglass to it. Quote:

Here's the first attempt at doing a plastic insert. Stretched my Solidworks skills big time. Had some help, thankfully. Just hit send for the first test print.

Good progress on the grill. My printer isn't large enough to print in one piece but still in mock-up, will find someone to print each side in one piece...hopefully.
Attachment 86140 Attachment 86141 Still in the works but pleased so far. Attachment 86142 First one out of the mold, glass cut for the second. Attachment 86143 In the mold, little chilly right now in ID so helping the cure with some heat. Attachment 86144 Initial trim and a quicky sand. lots more to do. Attachment 86145 Attachment 86146 |
