Default The Dream Achieved: Teaser Pics

Finally molded the TTE lip and deleted the side marker lights. Also took the opportunity to do a custom molded JP wing to the trunk with a lil twist. Major photo shoot to come. sorry for the poor quality...

I love the lip and side marker deletes. The rear spoiler not so much. If the rear quarters were molded to match it then I think I would love it too.

Either way nice work! Congrats.

Big plus on the front lip work.
The trunk spoiler work....I like the idea but need better pics to give better opinion. Definitely an A+ for originality on that trunk spoiler.
Lot's of BMW guys mold their trunk spoiler and it's a cool mod.

Work looks good. Where and how much did you have your lip molded in?

Thanks!

I like molded TTE lip. The molded rear wing looks a bit weird to me. Overall, looks like a very clean job.

need to mold the end pieces for the trunk and it will look a lot better. Looks funny with just the one piece molded. Lip is very nice!
