molding ain't easy.

if i could do it again, i'd use better materials and a better paint gun. but in the end, i was somewhat disappointed to have put so much work and still see little cracks and voids which i know will only get worse. anyway what's done is done. sigh*



this was taken from the yahoo japan auction page (3000 yen buy-it-now biggrin.gif that's less than the cost of the sandpaper!)




label behind the lip




test fit one half of spoiler. october 2010




test fit with bumper off




here you can see the gap running along the edge





primary cut





another test fit to see if the lip wraps and reaches the fenders





two metal brackets riveted to bottom of lip




bondo





more cutting and bondo





sanding




shaved holes from front emblem




clear primer




heavy primer





basecoat








primered the grills (then painted with a metallic gray flake)




clearcoat





finished
