Default My project!

After going through the gallery I came across KennyVHO's car with his unique bumper. So I figured I would give it a try. The difference is I only closed off the fake vents and was not done professionally, where as KennyVHO's was stretched and professionally done.

The Start:


Fiberglass:





Body Filler:




Somewhat finished needs to be repainted and hopefully fix the driver side:





I know its not perfect; but I tried!

Thanks for looking

Nice work. I would check into using a plastic instead of fiberglass next time. I have always heard the the fiberglass doesn't bond well to plastic and can cause the shrinking effect the you are getting. I have been thinking of filling in the emblem and plate holes on mine as well but I don't know what to use to get a lasting fill. Good luck. Great Idea.

The painter is going to repaint it Friday because the paint turned out too light. I will also see if he can try and touch up the drivers side!

Nice job Tim! Not bad at all! Just a couple of imperfections that you can easily remedy.
