    I would, but by the time I get it here it'll cost more than the Great Stuff. I don't have anything like that where I live.

    That's weird, I figured BC would have some boat building supply shops. I order my stuff from Noah's Marine supply in Toronto. Noah's Marine Supplies Online Store - Featured Items

    Jesus Enigma. Please get into business and sell me one of those rear bumpers.

    We need more pics though ha, I've really been interested in learning how to make plugs/molds and making pieces, what have you read watched and researched to learn all of this, or are you just learnin as you go along? Everything on youtube seems to be old outdated or unrelated to what I'm wanting to learn, or overly complicated with more materials than seemingly needed.

    I see many threads with as much progress as you've done so far, then they end up faded way back, then final product is shown, but not a whole lot of step by step info.

    And to Enigma, that bumper is awesome, I've always imagined a bumper like that for our cars, except, where the exhaust comes through the bumper, use an outlet from another car, I think mercedez or mazda has a similar exhaust outlet through the bumper and they have a finished tip that fits in the bumper and looks really clean...ok I searched real quick, and I think it was the LS400 I was remembering seeing.

    I think it's a great idea, but there are too many different variations in exhaust tips. I would like to know where he learned how to make that bumper. I would love to make a custom bumper for my car.

    Thank's guys for kind comments, the inspiration for the bumper came from farrari, I wanted to keep some of the original features and looking clean, if your new to doing mods such as this it takes time and commitment to complete it, and be prepared to rectify mistakes along the way, if you want an idea try looking here Fiberglass Forums - Powered by vBulletin plenty of projects and information and how to's.
