Looks good. Tony, Got a little suggestion for you to experiment with on retexturing If you haven't done so already. When I made the lower grille center section on my cut down 2010 Camaro nose grille, I heated the material with my hot air gun & a slightly worn drywall sanding sponge is what I ended up using to create a similar texture to what I needed. I,d imagine by now some company may have (stamps) to heat up & press against plastic to create certain textures. OR grinding the reverse of what you want to see into a scrap of metal, which is basically how molds for items such as woodgrain fiberglass doors are made.

I did the same thing to my 102 about two years ago. Part of it was aesthetics and part was fitment. The letters actually rubbed on my hood. I used a wrinkle coat. I will admit I didn't spend as much time as I should have in the nooks and crannies but it turned out very well. When I get back to the states I'll try to post up a pic.

As always, great work Tony!

Looks great. I'd butcher a gray FAST without hesitation. My black FAST 92, I couldn't do it.
