As far as my knowledge goes RE molding, there are no hard written guidance as to "how to" best method etc. This to say that whatever method(s) and materials you feel comfortable with is the method you should be using.
Very interesting thread and thanks for that. Again, don't rush your work. Make it shine like no others buddy. Unique stuff... thinking out of the box... creativity, love it

thanks, theirs direction followers in life and theirs make it happen people in life... both have value... the make it happen guys just have cooler looking cars lololol
ok guys this is going to be a big post. PLEASE give me your input.. criticism .. be nice
so the rims came today and i had a chance to put them under there and see how they look. i think i need to go wider. but i don't want to get to wide and look silly. please chime in on how this is looking also any ideas on louvers, vents, body lines you think might look good on the rear quarters. please point it out.
also now that i'm adding a bit more width. any thoughts on the contour going from the top of the rear quarter to the tangent of the top of the wheel well being concaved or convexed? kind of hard to explain.... should i have the contour bubble out or in to the lip of the wheel well. this is only above the wheel that i'm talking about. i attached a pic of the wide body on my corvette i did to hopefully explain this.
one more thing. the height of the flat on the wheel well is about 1/2" right now. what do you think it should be? (i'm pointing to this in my corvette pic)
thanks for any input guys, really needed and appreciated.
I know this will sound completely contradictory to what I've been saying lately but I'll say it anyway; can you speed up things a tad?!
Barely can wait to see how badarse that boxster car will look like when completed (in all honesty) lollllQUOTE]
chop chop... I'm on it
anyone make there own coilovers for the boxster? might get me a little more room under the wheel well... thinking... thinking ... thinking. i have a spare sleeve/spring kit laying around... maybe i can make it work.
I like the wide look of the 82 911 Turbo and what they did with the vent.
Keeping some of that heritage in the lines is probably a good thing.
In the pic it looks pretty straight but you could refine it and make your own contours with some gentle curves.
Based on the short distance you have to blend the curve I don't know if concave could work, and the newer Porsches are using Convex curves to the wheel.
In any case it looks like you have to go out a bit farther for that tire. Not as extreme as in the 911 Picture though.
Your rims look great.

I do plan on putting some detail in here somewhere.. just not sure where yet. I'm going to play with the side vent tonight and the lip around the wheel well i think I'm going to make it(wheel well lip) a little pronounced then concaved into the convex shape that i already have going... short transition from tangent to to tangent. hope that makes sense. pics soon i just want it to keep the classy porsche look but i want a little rebellion in there as well lol
ohhhh .... love the slant nose porsche. favorite look on a porsche to me.
rims... love em !!!! I'm so happy with the look and wow they look sharp when i stepped back to look at them last night.
lololol
