kohburn: your bumper will be ready next week, soon enough?
it is trailer-hitch compatible

I might make a mold of it though. I might HAVE to make a mold because I am not completely satisfied about the "smooth" seams holding up as everything is molded into a standard bumper. I am driving it daily so weak points will become clear soon. For the front I will make a mold for sure...

the front hood scoop/vent:

do you see the little joke in this one? :

you should make molds - i'm sure a fabricator would be interested in purchasing it if there were enough people interested in it.

* I am considering it but I am changing things all the time during the process, there are always issues when working on it... And parts have to be compatible with original parts OR sold as a complete kit so thats something to look into later.....first it will take some more hours to get the car finished and painted

* No. First I wanted a vent like the opel Speedster so I divided the front in proportional 4 grids (2 of the headlightcovers, cut out the 2 middle pieces. But with a horizontal mesh there would be too much water coming in so I was fiddling with the 2 pieces and put them back (with an angle)and this is the result. Its the first part I made. I would make it different now the rest is almost finished

a car, but as a process."

I dont like it, not one bit...as a matter of fact you're better off just shipping that garbage over here to me . Very sweet looking modifications, you've done some great glass work on your car. Keep it up!

I love it! The NACA ducts, the deckscoop (got it), the rear fascia, and the side skirts (got 'em too, but installed the other direction).

I very much like what you're doing with the car - I'd really like to hear more about what/how you made the rear bumper (materials, etc).

Looking for Fiero posters?

Very original rear bumper! Your fiberglassing work is incredible, and you chose an excellent variety of kits and scoops to mix together.
