Evo VIII Nose Chop

This ended up being a little tougher then I had expected. But its done (minus the paint). I used plastic to fill in the hole, shorthair fiberglass for rigidity and shaping, and polyester glaze puddy for finishing and imperfections. I can get better pics once I get it painted.

LOL, yes I know. They are extremely ugly but I picked them up with snowtires really cheap. They were curbed and scratched, so I picked a random color and painted them. They'll be off soon enough.

ahhh u did this nose job the bad way, Its better to trim the nose then melt the plastic down and mold it flat. This way you have a nice layer of plastic in that area. With the way you did it, ur gonna see cracks from the bondo over time and it will be a hassle. But u did use some plastic so props to you


Looks good man

The best way to do this is melt/mod the plastic flat then shape/mod it properly to get a flat surface.

Ill get u exact details from my buddy who had is done this way, fwi his bumper was done 2 years ago and still is issue free

If you could get your buddy to write up a how-to im sure there are many people (myself included) who would greatly appreciate it!
