Big thanks to Daemonblitz !!!!!

I was over to his place and tested some of the templates against his car as a comparison.
There is a lot of flexibility with these bumper skins but his car was very consistent with the fitment on mine.

Thanks for the bump Chris.

I had planned to have more updates posted last week but I have been completely out of commission since last Sunday.
I got hit by a bug that was like an evil seed from an alien planet.
A couple of days later I developed pneumonia.

This has been foreign territory for me. I was that guy that never needed sick time at work, it's probably been 4-5 years for even a simple cold.....

The good news is the drugs are finally winning the battle.
All going well should be back to regular form after tomorrow & full speed ahead.

Sure looks sweet, and would cover the Coupe's fang scuffs. Last Q before adding my name to the list to buy.
Has this been tested at the top speed limiter? Unsure how well the double sided tape will stick at very top speed with that much drag/downforce pulling on the side pieces.

Thanks for the question, I've had a few others ask for more info as well...


The prototype has seen many hours of track testing, most of which were done at Mostport, which is still considered the 3rd fastest average speed track in the world.
The back straight is just over 1km and uphill, I carry speeds (GPS) over 210kph along there.

In addition to the straights there are three corners in which you carry massive speeds through.
These corners provided additional load testing with forces at various vectors.

Also, the prototype fasteners on the bottom of those side pieces were only on with tape, there were no mechanical connections at all.


It was always intended to add mechanical connection to the underside of these side pieces.
If you've seen the pics of the foam construction test piece, you can see the embedded fasteners.
There is also a mechanical connection between the front lip and side pieces that has been added.

I'm in the middle of finalizing the fastening system pieces today.
I hope to get a few pics up by tonight.


Let me know if you need anything else.

Had a good day finalizing the support brackets. and a decent production run on them as well.

Excuse the pic quality, just grabbed something quick with the phone.

Here are the underside support brackets that I'm fab'ng.
I just sat the old proto pieces on them to give you a bit more of an idea.
The front angel bracket also ties the pieces together so that they sit nice & level to one another.










On the production pieces, this is what the bottom looks like with the Kevlar and the embedded fastener that the brackets will bolt to.
Also.... all hardware used and supplied is S.S.
The brackets are alum.
