And now here is the drawing I did on top of another picture taken Monday.. The flares were missing in this pic , this is the side stripe size and location, as well as the plan for the flare shape and size.
Were building front fender vents, and opening up the bumper nose to get more air to the radiator above the fmic.. Aside from the flare rebuild.. It's all just done w vinyl, color and cutting holes w nice mesh behind them.. Easy n cheap..
Hope yal like.

Brian, you never cease to amaze me! And that coming from a guy who is NOT easily impressed! Haha!To steal from Dave Kindig, “That’s not nice, that’s BITCHIN’!!!!” 👍

Thank fkng GOD.. Overtime is finally back at work...
So that means more new stuffs .
I'm doing an exlcusice group buy for this kit through / for VIS...but in order to not violate the tou, I'll I just leave it at pictures.. If you want to dm me for questions.. Well that might behoove you
While I did not spring for the whole kit , I did opt for the first front bumper avail
Here's the adjusted render :
Also re teamed with Fortune Auto for a set ofofront pillow ball mounts .. Along w the remote damper contoller... Electronic adjustment of front and rear damping, and save able presets .. So dope.
Looks like as long as i can fit correctly, I'll finally be getting into those technocraft dry carbon fixed back seats now too
And. If that wasnt bougie enough, werewecutting this ams bittom section out and installing aacarbon rear diffuser from a Ferrari f430
It's a hair wider than the z bumpers opening.. So Sit will protrude slightly.. That's OK tho..

My company cut the website from the approved list now after like eight years lol.. And my phone keyboard fights this site really badly, hence my lack of posting.. But as of now, I pick my tecnocraft seats up this Saturday while I'm in California for formula drift long Beach..
Also, we found that my major drive ability issues were fuel pump related, as well as another junk turbo.. Who knows why, but let's start fresh w a rebuild..
The car was retuned, and Charles at CJM is making me a fresh modified oem basket w a walboro 450.. The car hits the body shop this Thursday to have the rear flares built... The front bumper is off to another shop today for the grille area to be trimmed to clear the fmic.. and the emblem areas to be smoothed and cleaned up.
The rear bumper goes off to yet another pal to glass wires in that will hold the new perfect mesh.. And once the diffuser gets here, we will see what area needs to be cut out, and can devise the bracketing to hang the diffuser off the subframe, level with where the flat bottom panels will all sit,.. This shizzle is getting g epic fast, and is quickly moving towards the finish..
Oh, Fab Vilches is nearly done w my carbon shifter and waterfall... And Tim is nearly done programming my tablet too
Turns out that the ridiculously expensive oem. Drl lights do fit fairly well... Score.
Made up most of the space w fiberglass, now they can smooth the rest w body filler..
Clearly not the splitter I'll use, this is the old one, but will turn out great..

More progress, and my design notes drawn in red, for some corrections that were needed..
Also had the bumper lines and emblem dent filled, and had the backside of the grille area smoothed out a bit. Ultimately, we will mold in the flare pieces that sit on the bumper sides.. They will have to be dramatically cut up in order to fit the nsm bumper profile.. So might as well just make em smooth and all one piece... Soon enough tho..
