Sorry there will be no mold once it is finished the whole reason that i made it was to be different so that would spoil it :confused:

Zelious motorsport does one that is based on the same design (R34 Bomex Kit) which 4Pleazen has on his car...

It is nearly the same but they cut the lights out (where the park and indicator lights are meant to be on the R34) to get the hieght clearance where as i just cut it out of differnt places which is not shown on this pic as I only did it last weekend so i have not got any pics yet but the fishised product will be 110mm off the ground and my car is already lowered 60mm at the front :D

Thanks for the compliments guys let's soo if you still like it when it is finished :D

I am going to be putting halogen lights in the 2 holes down the very bottom :D

I was also thinking of mounting some in one of those holes in the middle and meshing the other one :d

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys it is making me want to work on it alot more... Working with fibreglass can be very itchy :doubt: but after it's finished it will all be worth it :D

I don't have any side skirts yet but the are going to be put on there but i think that i am just going to use the GSR sideskirts cuz they just bolt on and they don't look too bad... Or if the bunbury motorsport guy reads this maybe i can get some of his side skirts i just don't know how much they are...

And as for the intercooler :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: there will never be an intercooler in this car as i am only doing it up for looks i had a turbo car before and traded it in for this so i don't see the point in going back to the turbo...

Maybe i can talk to some one over here and see if they want to copy the mould for the bumper and they can sell it (to other states hahahaha)

Hahahaha funny you say that i was going to put one in there well half of it any way but if someone say it they might actually think that it goes fast lol

Does anyone thing that i could use an intercooler as an air induction thing...

Ok this is the Idea that i just had when writing this post...

Mount the Intercooler in the front for the looks... But run a pipe from where the Throttle body is down to one side of the intercooler then mount a pod filter to the other side of the intercooler so that it can suck air in that way as well...

Hmmmm I wonder if that will work or just let me know if i am :nuts:

Why would you want to add restriction to your intake and probably raise intake temperatures. I remember some rice website where they made fake intercoolers for not much. On the other hand you could make the worlds largest panel filter :nuts:

I said that i was only thinking of it at the time of writing the reply not that i was actually going to do it... I don't think that it is going to add that much performance to the car and people are just going to say that it is fake and is crap...
