Thumbs up

I'm in for a JP replica wing since you can't get them from JP in a timely manner. Will they be polyurethane or fiberglass?

Id like to make a few good sets before I start to even think about making anything out of fiberglass for other peoples car. Since Im new at this whole thing I still dont know my whole road ahead & things may come up I may not be able to over come so no promises yet.

You have your creative juices flowing I see. I like everything besides the halo lights, leave those for the bimmers. Other than that congrats bro.

Good luck to you in the up coming projects I think the halos will look good once their mounted inside the car. What color were you going to paint the eyelids? And for the back I'm really not feeling that.

since you asked,......I do think the roof spoiler mock up is a bit thick. Otherwise, looking good!

you are quite the DIY'er.
