Round 2
Here is the Carbon mold project. Sorry for the lack of photos but this is idea. It looks pretty easy, eh? NOT so, huge learning curve! This is attempt#4. Buried it in clearcoat and sanded out the imperfections. I always thought that Carbon was unrealistically priced until I did it myself.... I get it now. Attempted to make front and rear bumpers and have since abandoned this venture, for now at least.
Only have after photos of the flush mount glass. This is not as easy as "they" make it sound. Definitely not a throw in deal! I have seen cars with the glass installed to factory bodies and the fit isn't right. I had to add metal to the sides and top of the body at the front, also added metal to the top of each fender as well as the cowl panel. The rear took careful massaging of all 4 corners. As my application was a "floating" glass set up, I had to make the entire jamb smooth and paint ready since your eye will carry into the gaps. Also needed to build spacing pads to get the glass to lay correctly relative to the body. It took two tries for the front and three for the rear. I'm no Dave Kindig but I think it turned out nicely.
