Happy now? LOL

Here is what was involved in modifying the corvette rear bumper to acheive the current rear clip. Obviously the one pic is the original aftermarket Vette rear bumper; the other is the rear clip about halfway through the transistion. The black peices are part of the original peice: the gray top of the bumper is from another 'glass rear bumper (from my V8 Z car project - which BTW got the C4 taillights ; the white taillight sockets were made first from a roll of 2" tape (using it for a mold) then made from that first peice; the raw 'glass areas (around the taillights & where the CHMSL was) were made by taping strips of thim sheetmetal over the front & laying 'glass from the rear. You can also see a white strip of scrap 'glass in the middle where the top of the tag surround was originally located. In this photo you can see relief areas cut into the original peice & still lotsa open areas yet to be filled in. Total of around 100 hours from replacement Vette bumper to the primered rear clip on the car. Still lots of work to do: once I get molds from the current configuration I plan to add ground effects around the bottom to match the side skirts (same to the nose).
