Supra Sideskirts :), Molding process- Options

[mgnt232]

So I got the sides the other day, but it was raining ....and most of this morning. but as soon as it stopped.... I started

So its a very long process of getting them to fit but I really like the look:). And thanks to AJ I had a general idea of what to start with (he was very helpful) but put my own spin on alot of it, which i thought was easier.
Any how, I got one almost "done" still have a ton! of work to do, to mold it all flush, but thats alot easier than holding SS up and marking out, and cutting, and holding, and trying to rivit it, all by my self lol.

Heres some pics

Walk out

Cut for the "vent" (vent doesnt actually do anything, i covered it in the back)

A few different angles when i cut enough and had it fall into place well enough to rivit it in

Cut the rear off, extending, ran out of resin so I had to stop

Started laying out the mat, getting it all ready (mainly in my head )

Started to spread the resin, but I ran out




Rest of the pics are mainly how it looks now, keep in mind, I ran out of resin, I will be finishing it tomorrow along with the other side





Tell me what you think I know its not everyones style .. And if anyone has questions ask its not as hard as it may look... if you have some patience .. the only "body work" experience I have is putting on my invader kit

if the vent doesnt actually work...then why not just cut the back of the vent on the side skirt so it fits flush to the body vs cutting a whole in ur car? jw .. maybe im wrong ... not my style but dont let anyone tell u different from wat u like my dude

with the inside of the vent cut (in order to sit even partially flush) it would look funny, I thought about it (its hard to explain how the body lines dont match up) but it woulda taken away from the the look 100%. But i do get if someone ever wanted to do this to their car and planned on ever selling or doing something different i would advise against it, but i dont ever plan on changing it

Its almost done

and for some reason I like the fender vents... lol almost everyone i talk to doesnt like them, but i do
