But yeah no one makes aftermarket fenders that are wider.

I'm not sure, but the front and rear bumper are both PP plastic. I'm guessing the fenders are too...

I'll take a peek bro, but alls i gots to say is you gots some serious ballz wow man. u my freakin hero!!

wow gabe! ive been out of the car thing for a while mostly because of LB kits (veilside 2.0) ruined it for me. That front mold job looks awesome so far. glad you made a mold on kit that shits on bolt on bs. sucks about your shop drama! i hate shop delays, this normally happens when the owner gets too close with their customers and think they can lag on you since youre "homies" now while they make more money off other groupies in the circle so your car sits for months. I cant stand waiting on others! glad to see some more progress!

Gabe - don't leave us hanging bro - whats the latest?? you da BOMB

[GabeS]

With the last round of Formula Drift and the beginning of SEMA week it was hard to work on the car much and plus it's been taking forever to get everything lined up and shaped and smoothed, the front is pretty much done finally!



Now on to the rear, Rai is starting on the rear end caps to taper off the flare and meanwhile I am working on Diffuser designs.
Skribbled this up real quick last night.


Only thing is I also want a big wing that is mounted from the back of the bumper and the diffuser might get in the way and have to be redesigned.

I am honestly just hoping the major body work gets done asap, even with the rear not being touched so I can get it painted and start driving.
I can always do the diffuser and sideskirts later on with time.

Any updates?

[GabeS]

Nothing yet, sorry, the Front is done, and the rear is half way, Rai has been sanding and shaping the rear caps that join the flare with the bumper.

Is that a buck that will be used to take a mold for the front fender, or are you planning on just prepping, priming, and painting the fender pictured?

That's the new fender that was molded with fiberglass and needs to be prepped for paint, it's prepped for paint by now I just haven't uploaded pictyures yet. The rear is done with the foam sculpting and he is starting to lay fiberglass int he rear now. I went to see it this past weekend.

You ever consider taking a fiberglass mold off the piece you make? You'd be able to reproduce the fenders and would have a stronger 1 piece fender on your car as a result.

Yes we plan on doing a mold and reproducing if funds allow.

Main reason I ask is because you typically don't want to run a fender made of multiple pieces molded together with body filler long term. You'll just end up with hair line cracks all over the seams after a couple thousand miles of driving. Best bet would be to take a mold off what you have there and then make a fiberglass (or carbon) version of it out of one piece.

Looks great!

Yeah I know, we talked alot about that when we started, thats one of the reasons I went with a carbon fiber fender to mold onto instead of the shitty plastic, because fiberglass bonds well with carbon, well at least much better then plastic haha. I definitely will do the mold if I can afford it.

Any update on this beast?

[GabeS]

Sorry, been super lazy to email and resize and upload pictures...
Rear design is done, its a little JGTC/boxy rear end/curvy bits, I wasn't sure how much I liked it at first, but It grew on me, I can always change it later if I am not happy with the final result.
Rai started the fiberglassing, once done itll go to wrap or paint.

I have been slightly side tracked, I plan on buying a house by July this year, and have been saving every bit and working 2 jobs, Rad Tech during the week and Promotions and Marketing during the weekend with Tao Group/Marquee in Las Vegas.

Plus having 7 dogs/mini rescue at home keeps me super busy.
Ill post some pictures when fiberglassing is done.
