Default Giving my 250 a a$$ lift
EDIT NEW PICS ON PAGE 3
EDIT NEW PICS ON PAGE4
EDIT NEW PICS ON PAGE 5
EDIT FINALLY COMPLETED WHAT I HAD SET OUT TO DO THIS WEEK WITH MY CAR. PICS ADDED AND THIS THREAD WILL NOT BE UPDATED AGAIN
So last month I had molded my REPLICA Wald spoiler.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...d-spoiler.html


Today I decided to raise the quarter panels so there wouldn't be a drop between the trunk and the quarter. Heres the start. I should be finished here in a day or two. Also have to repair my front lip as some of you may know I nosed dived into a puddle from hell and the lip pretty much ate all of it. I will be repairing that and adding a mesh grill to it along with modifying my rear lip as well.

More pics of my build can be seen here.http://public.fotki.com/remydee/

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Thanks for viewing

Well I can't take credit for that cause I've seen a few on CL. Looks like you're doing a nice job. Is it all bondo or how did you raise it?

I'm using duraglass. Much stronger and easier to work with than fiberglass and bondo. Same thing I used on the trunk.

Thanks man. Most definitely. But main reason why I prefer to do it myself is bc I really don't like putting my car in anyone else's car unless I really have to

Nice work! Did you already sand down the edges of the wald lip to be level with the quarter panel when you first molded it?
