Make the part out of sheet metal and paint it black. You can't see it once it's installed, right?

I know it sucks ass, and I am not trying to be indifferent, just suggesting an option.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I am goign to make a negative of the one I do have out of monofoam tongith and then manually carve a mirror image of it out of dence stryofoam to make a mold for the other one. I am going to buy some carbon fiber and resin off of ebay and see if I can make one, god know it probably won't come out as good as the original, but at least it will be something.


If anyone has any suggestions about working with carbon fiber/resins, let me know!


Thanks,
Tyler

 

Sorry to hear about your missing piece, thats a real dick move. Who sells a part that cant be installed. If you have worked with fiberglass it's pretty much the same, just the resin is different. You might want to find a local fiberglass guy to help you out. I think you can just mirror the other peice as a mold guide.

I just quickly googled this link, its for motorcycles but I think the same rules apply.

Good Luck

 

Tell me about it


Thanks for the link man!! Very informative!


I'll let everyone know how it turns out. I've got my mold for the piece almost completely made out of the foam that you use for fake plants in the flower pots. Its perfect for carving/sanding. The only reall hard part is getting the curves just right for the bottom of the bumper.
