I would not mold the beak into the actual bumper, I give the guy credit for doing it, but it's not as good as I thought it would look molded together. I think, it looks 100x times better when it's just painted.

yeah I know, when you posted the build pics a couple months ago, I started on a new piece for the S1s Its about halfway finished, Im actually bulding the duct that routes the air above the bumper bar now,,,
heres the concept image I used from PDXhaks car, the only thing left is to buld traps for the tow hook areas,,,

It was inspired from the S1 MS bumper bar gaurd and this mod of the S2 beak,,,
Actually have the prototype sent to the shop already,,,

rotr8. That's sick. I'd buy that.

9krpmrx8 01-12-2010 10:13 PM

Rotr8 can I put a deposit on one?

goose guy 01-13-2010 09:39 PM

Very nice indeed. I'm so desperately waiting for some manufacturers to make similar mods like that (aero kits incl) so I can put them on my SII car. Any SII owner install a body kit? If so, where did u buy it from?

rx8nz2009 01-14-2010 08:32 AM

Love it. Can you give us some information about doing the carbon fiber look? thx

michaelsk8er 01-14-2010 02:37 PM

I love the headlight painting. I will be doing that this summer.

stewiefied 01-14-2010 03:59 PM

im going to do it too but a little different tho

lepichichi 01-15-2010 10:05 AM

i like the carbon fiber steering wheel :) great finds!

EMart11b 01-16-2010 11:44 AM

I would pay good money for carbon wrapped badges. Would love to get the piece under the foglights wrapped too, right now they're just painted black and chipping :\

Rotr8 01-16-2010 12:56 PM

Its vinyl, just in case people were misunderstanding things,,,

rx8nz2009 01-16-2010 06:43 PM

they are so nice, but does anyone know to do the carbon fiber look? I try to search but I have no clue how did he do that?

SayNoToPistons 01-16-2010 09:32 PM

Not my cuppa tea, but VERY NICE work.

jasonrxeight 02-06-2010 01:50 PM

nice work. love some of the ideas.

perks11 02-08-2010 11:59 AM

very nice work, the video of baking the headlights will help some people on here, some people have a lot more skills than i do!!

pdxhak 02-09-2010 09:21 PM

Some cool OE part mods.

Rotr8 love the S1 bumper mod. I was wanting to do the Leg Sport bumper mod but I like this much more. Glad to see you are working on it!

tflorko 02-16-2010 01:59 PM
