you guys are doing a great on job on this bumper! I personally think it would look a little better if the air dam went a little lower and scooped out more towards the front. Also the sides of the dam should come out a little wider or have a small flare outwards and match the fender wheel lip line spacing. But that is just my .00000002 cents worth and doesnt mean much! lol. keep up the great work!




KOS,

The bumper actually DOES extend a little lower. It is difficult to see because the car is on jack stands. Here is a horizontal view of the project seen over the hood of my GT. The GT is not lowered.



Comparison from the front:



The front stock suspension is completely extended and the tire is still several inches off the concrete.



Compare these next two shots. The sides of the spoiler are tucked in to resemble the factory Formula bumper. We tried to extend the body lines and contours from the side of the car to the front bumper. We thought it best to ignore the shape of the rocker panels.





This isn't a great shot but you can see the factory air dam on the Formula bumper does not extend to the outter edges of the sides.



This is a shot of a rough measurement of the height of the Formula bumper.



Compared to a shot of a rough measurement of the iGTO bumper:



So, I think we did get a bit closer to what you were wanting. This bumper will hang lower but hopefully not so low as to interfere with a lowered car. If that does become the case, the lower edge of the spoiler could be trimmed by the owner to a clearance height of choice. These pics also help make the case for our stated intention to attempt to make this bumper unique AND have a factory appearance at the same time.

Ribbed point reproductions. I used semi gloss instead of matte paint by accident. Anyway, you get the idea:

Those pieces really look great! I don't know how they could be any better! Looks like you have a thread to start in the Mall!

Thanks for working with us on this project! Your efforts have made our product even more appealing!

I originally made a mold just to make a long 12" straight piece of ribbed molding. I them cut it into 2 pieces, the proper length, and cut the ends at the proper angles. Here is one of the molding pieces in red oxide. I still need to clean up the edges, polish it, and make a new mold just for the final pieces:

I cannot see any of the pictures you guys have placed on here. It just shows up as little red "X"'s. No I do not have parental control on this laptop on. Hmmmm

If your notchback has ribbed moulding, you will be able to use these on your Aero front bumper so everything matches.
