As you can see on the rear and then front, as we got the foam close to the shapes we wanted, we added a skim of body filler to refine the surface a little. Still fairly crude at this step, it allowed us to see and feel the shape better and start adding in some of the finer details like edges and creases.







Creating the nose corners and front lower fender allowed us to begin on the mock up of the front splitter.

It's a one-to-one expanding polyurethane foam (Similar to Tap X-30).

Did you end up using the foam as a plug to re-lay a full carbon panel or did it become final as shown?

From a few pages back.
Exactly: not that anyone is planning on dinging the car, but the risk is there. Making the flares in sheetmetal would be initially possible, but any damage would be very costly having to either repair or replace the sheetmetal piece. With the carbon 'bolt-on' pieces, if one gets damaged, we have the all the molds to make them exactly the same forever.
