Progress of my custom VII splitter!!!

So here is some photos of the work so far...I couldnt find the original thread I started with so I just made a new one...


We started from the bottom up. Making a flat board of fiberglass, then tracing the lower shape of the lip, cutting it to fit on the bottom of the bumper.



Next we used a fabric used with making custom subwoofer enclosures, like a swimsuit fabric. Connect that with the lower fiberglass piece, then stretching up to the bumper.






Next we mixed our epoxy and resin and slabbed that on the fabric til it came to look like this..




Next we start laying strips of fiberglass..





Now the fun part, bondo and sanding til perfect...keep in touch for more info...should be done by this time next week..ready for paint.

Any guy that would have you as a girlfriend would be one lucky S.O.B. Anyhow, good to see girls having evos. That's the sexiest thing alive; I can envision my future girlfriend having an evo. on the other what are the odds, wishful thinking on my part I guess. Can't wait to see the finished product.

hey guys and gals i need your opinion...I am stuck on how to attach the damn thing...i kinda like the "bolt" look like in the varis oil cooler vent and apr side splitters...or should i use an adhesive and patch over the bolts on the front....







I would in the future like to have those pieces keep in mind...
