didn't work on the front but got a good amount done on the driver side skirt.
Prepwork    One layer of fiberglass.. Didnt want to do too thick so the door would still be able to close without hitting  Trimed and sanded, will need to do a little more glassing to this section and then use filler, smooth it and seal but it shows the general Idea   I didn't mess with the actual opening yet... I will have to do some more cutting to the scoop to make it look really nice and flush with the car but its is starting to give a real good "wide body" look to the car when the door is closed..dont think I have a photo of it yet but will get one and post it. edit: here is a photo of just the prep work that show kinda what I was talkin about with the "widebody" look, its alot better with the fiberglass and not the clay,tape,foil etc - but you get the idea

went and took more photos to show the "widebody" look I was talkin about better... still dont compare to in person but looks cleaner than the last photo I posted..
Tell Me what you guys Think!     you can see in these where I need to cut some more on the scoop... pretty much right at the bottom opening of the scoop where it meets the flat section of the skirt - if you look at the first and second photo you will see a small little black triangle between the car and part of the scoop (the part that should be touching the side of the car directly) that is where I need to cut it out and smooth it in with the body lines.. it will make the scoop a little more open than how it is on the supra but think it will make this look alot better than tring to bring the side out to match with the scoop. heres another one I found.. think this shows it the best - really wish I would of thought to of gotten one that showed the whole car at a 3/4 birds eye view.. that is when it is the most noticeable

that depends on what your trying to do... its usally best if your tring to make an opening or something to make that peice 1st before you do any cutting or anything. like say you wanted to make an opening for a front airdam... I would 1st take a mold of the area you wanted to have the opening at. Then I would make a replica piece of that area and make my scoop into that. then I would trim down the excess around the scoop opening.. I would leave 1-2 inches all around it so that can be smoothed into the existing front. Then I place the scoop onto the front and mark where it is. then I would start cutting making sure that I didnt cut too large... you can always cut more off if you have too but if you cut too much then its gonna get hard to do. once it fits in there nice you have to adhere it to the front.. if you are doing this to an aftermarket front odds are its fiberglass and will be easy to make it work.. just glass the back of it(where you wont see) to get them to bond together...then do a light layer on the visiable side and start smoothing it down. Take your time and use common sense. Once its nice and smoothed down you will need to use body filler to get all the small airpockets and stuff out to there.. basically mix it up.. spread it over the fiberglass and let it dry. then sand it all down agian. at this time you might want to try using a gelcoat or other finishing for strength but not nessacary. You will want to primer it and seal the primer. then all it needs is paint and your done. -------------------- 99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
