Why can't you make it work? I would beat the **** out of it till it did what I wanted it to do or cut the messed up part off, attach new metal, and drill it out to suit my needs. Trunk looks good.

yes and no, i bought a wizdom fiberglass bumper. i plan on moding it to fit a custom diffuser over the winter. in thinking of the idea of a removable spring loaded "knerf bar" type system to protect everything with drifting. i really wanna take a stab at time attack so i dont what to weight the car down to much, and i want to keep aero in mind

i had some time tonight and decided to goof around and mock up some more parts. well more like place them up agains the car, here is a teaser





front bumper needs trimming of rad ducting to fit, but will fit fine. fenders shouldnt be to bad, side skirts are gonna be a bitch and rear flares may be a bitch

here are some pics of the canards i plan to make, this is just a mock up/ mold peice. the real ones are gonna be made from 2x2 twill carbon fiber reinforced kevlar(the black and yellow stuff). im not gonna vacuum bag these. they will be a standard wet layup. i think this will be a good introduction into composites and will help generate frontal downforce. they will also have a 1" tall vertical edge along the outside






any constructive critisism?
