Ohhh and Lip spoiler goes on tomorrow,,,

 

Looks great. The sides go really well with the autoexe bumper.

 

quick chop of what it might look like color matched,,,

 

i wish i had the resources to make this kind of stuff, how much of it is actually done on the computer compared to hand made??

 

I think they do too,,,

AutoExe advertise all the SE-03c with the MS sides but the MS sides have that additional integrated splitter and thier front bumper does not.

I gave it alot of thought and these match the best,,,

 

I sculpt everything by hand first then if I need a mirrored part or duplicated I turn to the computer,,, doing both allows me to think more about how I will execute each piece for replication,,, The first page of this thread you can see I just started with cardboard, tinfoil and Apoxie Sculpt,,,

The new mirror Im building will be a perfect example of this, when Im happy with it I will scan it and have the RP machines build the mirror so the set is exactly the same...

Heres another example of this,,, https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/project-intake-duct-insert-148077/

 

cool, i've got a lot of time on my hands so i might start messin around with stuff like this.

 

It looks incredible! I am really impressed with the work and quality of these.

 

Dive right in,,, I started all these projects because there was a following on here not too long ago that people thought that exterior aftermarket had stagnated, it really hasnt at all and the more people doing projects like these the better it will get,,, IF anyone wants to post there projects up in here feel free to, but I will harrass you to complete them, lol,,,,

The Aves Apoxie Sculpt is extremely easy to work with(just wear gloves, sticks to your skin like tar, ask me how I know) has about a two hour working window(most of my ruff builds take about 30-40 mins to mock up,,, and completely cures within 24hrs absolutely no shrinkage(unlike many simular products, which can have up to 20% shrinkage,,,)

 

So the next thing after mirrors are complete, is a hood,,,
The design will be inspired by the Gemballa Carrera GT Mirage,,,,

 

That looks similar to the rx01 bonnet, a lot more tastefully done though.

 

rx01 kinda it will flow with the lines of the car better though,,,
the unique thing that Im doing is that I will be starting with the Autobahn hood so that will automatically delete the rotary accent in the hood and give me a clean canvas to play with,,,

 

rotr8, I have a rear lip spoiler I plan to start sometime this year and will be hitting you up with questions

 

You still going to do the z06 scoop project too?

 

No problem, I will help anyone out as much as I can,,,

ehhh I dont know anymore,,, thats the great thing about PS you can play with ideas without having to do them,,,
I really liked it in the begining butIve done a couple more PSs with my own pics and it wasnt as glamorous for some reason,,,
I think the hood will be enough fo rthe front,,,
Im planning out how to build my own rear skirts now,,, and then the rear diffusser will be built,,,

 

I really like what you are up to over there.... need an intern???

 

you're sick rotr8... best word to describe it.

 

whats the point of the splitter at the bottom of your burnout? sellin?

 

looking good, cant wait until u start on the hood

 

Wow... you're my hero dude. Your stuff looks amazing! I'm just starting to get into composite fabrication with the end goal of making some parts for the 8. Hope you wouldn't mind me harassing you from time to time with a question or two

 

I REALLY like the ZO6 fender vent cover pieces...I want to try my hand at making some. And some wider rear fenders...A rear diffuser would be sweet, too.

 

Track bumper... No way in hell that the AutoExe will see such a destructive battleground like a track,,,

Great, composites is a nice discipline to have, Im not even there yet, not that things are linear I would rather concentrate on hwat Im good at, maybe we can work together Ill make masters and you can make the composite replicas...

Go for it man, dont be afraid of it, with the material I use if you dont like you just chuck and start over again,,,

 

All of these are insane! Is this what you do for a living? lol.

 

Would love to do that! But in all honesty, I'm not really there yet. I'm just starting to develope my skills in the area... and will be a little bit before I have enough practice under my belt and the money to start playing with the cool stuff (vacuum / infusion). I'm sure I'll get there shortly though.

If your ever looking for info on that stuff.. let me know.. I can refer you to some pretty decent resources which would most likely save you some time and money.

 

DAM! This is crazy! I can't wait to see the final product of this project.
