The side air intakes were built by me from scratch. I created a male mold/form shaped out of foam then laid fiberglass cloth and resin over the mold many many times until the piece was thick and strong. I then removed the foam via a Dremel drill. Cutting it out from the inside out. Sanded the part down to how you see them now. Flat black rattle can spray paint and done. The most difficult part was attempting to get both parts symmetrical. They're opposites so you can't just make two parts identical in all ways.
Anyway, looks great. Congrats on the changes.

Hey! Thanks - getting ready to take it to Laguna Seca on Thursday. I didn't repaint it - but I did buff it out on the hood and doors to get rid of the fade from the old numbers - while it isn't perfect they are barely visible. My only complaint is that the window banner doesn't come down a bit farther. I'll probably add a bit of black vinyl to the bottom after my last tearoff is done.
