    Wow, totally missed this thread. Very cool. Keep us updated. Think I might be interested in sideskirts and rear plate.

    Cheers!

    Those actually look pretty nice. I might even consider a front skid plate just so I can run without a front license plate.

    UPDATE: skid plates and hood insert

    Well, I can breath a sigh of relief, I have the molds, (arrived today) and most of the supplies needed to start. Just missing a few items like the duratec primer and hi gloss gel coat additive. The molds are a bit rough, so will have to work them to gold plate them and make them glass smooth. Will then make a master set of plugs and molds to set aside. As far as the hood insert go, am working with a local supplier to source the mounting hardware. Want to duplicate the OEM mounting as close as I can since they have already done the engineering on it. Anyway, that is where it stands for now.

    You are doing an awesome favor for the club. Thank you
    You have to "gold plate" the molds?
    Please don't forget the hood fangs...unless I am the only person wanting them.
    Have a nice Holiday!!

    Sorry, gold plate is an expression we use to use in the Air Force when prepping the F-111 for alert duty, 'making it perfect'

    Update

    Well, things are progressing nicely. I bought a little over 2 grand worth of supplies which have arrived. Have been getting the workshop sorted. Next week, since I have some time, will start getting some work surfaces sorted and mold holders, maybe even gold plate one or two of the molds.

    Get'in close, get'in excited.

    Really want to see what a faux carbon fiber skid plate looks like, maybe even one in a silver glitterflake like a bass boat if anyone wants a little bling
