Has anyone ever attempted to recreate the prototype trunklid and wing all-in-one?
Also I have come across 1 picture of the prototype rear bumper which is more rounded off and spaces the tail pipes closer togeather. Has anyone ever attempted this one?
I am really glad to see such a fantastically done side skirt kit, looks great! Now I just need to create the bumper and trunklid/ wing!

I know people have tried to blend the factory wing into the decklid, but with no good success. If you look at the prototype, the wing extends all the way onto the "under the rear window" trim. That, and the factory wing doesnt have the same curves...so you'd essentially need to hand fabricate it. at some point or another I thought it'd be a cool little project..But I like mine spoilerless better

Hope someday I can live and work in the US... with everything which is available over there, I can do wonders with FG... even learn and master CF also ;)

I'm messing around with carbon fiber right now, nothing fancy just making random pieces. Like all the black plastic in the engine bay I'm making carbon fiber stuff just to make it look good.

CF is pretty much fiberglass. Only thing is it's like 50x more toxic than FG when you're cutting it.

Unlike the FG, CF is for the looks. I have never seen a CF texture (before applying resin over it), it doesn't exist anywhere in the middle east... as far as I know...

The stuff I'm using is aircraft grade, got it secretly:cool:. You can try buying some on ebay. There's all different sizes for sale on there.

I wouldn't mind trying to see if i could pull it off... how much different can automotive fiberglass be from surfboard fiberglassing? :p
