yokomo Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 im not msking a mold on this, totaly one off deal, just to make em pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakquest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 So its just an overlay? I have done a good bit of fiberglass work and I am in the middle of a fiberglass box to hold one 10" and fit snug where the spare tire went. I have always wanted to try making a mold for the rear wing or front lip and maybe even the bumper, so I could have a real carbon fiber piece and not an overlay. The only problem with that is if I mess up then thats a lot of fiberglass/resin and $$wasted. But you said you were going for looks-put pics when your done. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/734202 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakquest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 What kind of resin did you use? How did you get such a smooth and unbumpy surface? I can see how you could hold compression on that one piece to get the perfect flat surface but not on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-hanson Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 be aware that resin isnt going to stick well on that wing. just an fyi joshwww.bz-2.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
