So I’ve decided to go ahead and make up a few sets. I have some interest on the FB 6th gen page so I think I’ll order up enough material to do 8 sets initially. Please send me a PM if you want a pair. It’ll take a couple weeks to get materials and cut them out. Thanks!

Looks good, you could even paint/wrap them too...

Great work. I'm interested too.

Good luck with them, not a bad idea.

Eh I disagree. $20 for a completely fabbed part with no blueprint or design to base previously off of is damn cheap. I have paid over $500 for ABS replicas of existing pieces about a quarter of the size of what he is selling.

Agreed! Here is the 2nd prototype, after his own.
A great coverup of the gaping hole on the passenger side.

That looks great! My covers can easily be hydro dipped or painted.

Thanks for test fitting for me! Your engine compartment looks great! Well done!

I just got some material today so I’m ready to start cutting out some pairs. I could have 2 cut out by Friday and another 5 by next week. I tweaked the templates for a better fit and cover more area. Who would like a pair please post here or send me a PM. Here’s a pic of the final pattern for my templates.

ssmike · 10-18-2018, 07:07 AM

PM's sent to those that showed interest.

Great! Post up some pics when you get them installed.

Can you do any with a flat texture? I already have my hydrodip and this at is cheaper than the metal set they sell, that I was about to buy. Can you make tr he front piece by the hood latch as well?

If you are going to hydro dip I can reverse the pattern for the smooth side up but by itself the smooth side is not show quality. I'm not doing the center piece, too large and complex.

I have 1 more set cut out and ready. If I can get another 5 people interested I’ll order up more material. Post here or PM me.
