1998-2002 "SUPER CAR" Bumpers in production now!!!
Out of respect to a certain old school racer who had wide bodies built in his name sake we're renaming these "SUPER CAR" bumpers (chatted on the phone for a couple hours about racing and other stuff today with his son in law and just want to respect their family name so we're removing it from everything)...
Deleting the old thread and starting this one... Got our finalized design pics today and she's ready for production (this was pre-primer obviously, pics are blurry, sorry)...
Will post primer pics when I get them but it's officially on it's way to get molded then parts made shipped to us and shipped to you
Still time to get in if you want one of the ten (our discount code TAX20 works on them until the end of the month
From what I can tell it looks like it will flow much better than the first version, but can't be completely sure until I at least see it primed. I need a new front bumper so if it looks as good as I hope I think I'll have to order myself one
From this pic, it looks like the lip is a little sharp compared to the aforementioned cars. It appears to have a more peaked and thinned radius. Shouldn't it be thicker like this shot of the yellow car?
Also, can you answer my questions about the core support mounting area? How is the alignment for the underside core support? Does it curve back up? Even though it's "flexible" fiberglass, I'd still be weary about having to bend it up to connect underneath.

Mine either.... I've had this Sunoco style hood unpainted for 8 years now.... slow work-in-progress.
It looks good to me but as said above, its hard to get a full understanding of all the angles when it is two different colors, once its primered I'll say something if I see it.

The double colors are just throwing it off. It does have the same thickness and radius...
As far as the core support we molded it UP so that you don't have to worry about bending it
I know you have a thread asking about ideas for carbon fiber products. Have you considered making a grill exclusive for this bumper? It would certainly add to that super car idea with the exotic material. It doesn't have to be your typical style grill either. I would love to see something that is a bit larger and even with a curved leading edge, like an airplane wing would be how I'd describe it. Something to the effect of the upper grill on this zl1. Even something with a similar feel of the hood vents.
