So I have been dabbling with composites the last couple months and I decided to start skinning some of the parts on my car. I have currently done the mirrors, the gauge pod covers, the door switch panel and the B pillars (which i still have to buff to remove the slight orange peel left by the clear coat). I am very happy how these parts came out, they are nearly flawless. I am currently working on the head unit.

Over the last month I have also been working on my own side blades and a functional rear diffuser. Currently I have the side blades made out of foam that i will use to made a mold for the finished carbon ones.

The rear diffuser is a very rough fiberglass model as of now. I am currently working out the mounting situation before I go any further. Im looking for a 5-7 degree rake angle and I will include fins later.
