I have given several projects some thought: fiberglass ram air intake, fiberglass mirror covers with built in LED turn signals, short shifter (for 6 speed trannys). I think Im running out of things to hang on my car, lol.

Maybe you can mold your own GT-R badge lol just teasing
Very nice project. It came out better than I thought, but still not really feeling it. I think it would be much nicer if there's something on the side of the bumper to bring everything to somewhat the same level. But I'm sure it is probably only the beginning. Also, as for the LED... I think you should use it as a fog light or something instead of brake light. It reminds me of the third brake light that pick-up truck people put on their towing hitch thing. Maybe we'll see FI next?

I appreciate all the comments, both good and bad. Not everyone is gonna like this kind of project, but I really enjoyed the experience of working with fiberglass, even though its really messy, and I am pleased with the results. I thought about building smaller undertrays and diffusers under the sides of the bumpers which would even it out some.

Bob, we should get to work on the intake. Its a good idea.

Looks much better than the first one u showed me Bob. Nice Job!!! We need to get ours together and get pics!! Also, we need to get started on the dual ram air intake. I have another idea though that goes with the diffuser. Call me for details.

I definitely like it and like the LED (reminds me of F1 brake lights ) but I think it'd be way cooler if you added a "ground effect" upward slope to it.

Just barely.

Here, think F430.



A little extreme, but it'd look way better (and will be more functional) if you could, say, cut some of the lower bumper off and slope it upwards more

Gotcha. I agree, but I lack skills in tearing bumper apart and redoing it.

SOME ONE SAID MY NAME ,

Deus I think I said it before but just in case, great work!, you know I got mad respect for your car and what you do to it, till this day I still get questions from people buying the lights about your trunk spoiler

a little off topic but here is a crude shop of how the front will look if you were to get the whole ZK look, I might be making a grill to but im not sure yet.
