Re: Some pics from first show this year

I've never been a fan of red cars, but I've always liked yours! Its too bad spohn didn't pick up the front plate assembly deal, I would have bought one in a heartbeat.

That car is truly a work of art! Great Job! Do you have some more pics of the spoiler? I just love the way it looks. Did you make it yourself?

The spoiler is a one-off... made myself. I used a factory 87 RS 3 piece spoiler as a base... then I sculpted polyurethane foam in the shape I wanted and covered it in fiberglass. There is a little more to it than that... but that is the basic process.

Here is a pic when it was in primer:



This was test fitting with the old tail lights:

Looks awesome. Did you ever decide if you were going to make and sell kits for the license plate mod?

There seems to be enough interest... but my father and I are both just too busy to pursue it at this time.

Re: Some pics from first show this year

Your car is awesome!! I have not done an inside show yet, but it would be cool. Here is a pic from a local show last weekend. Mine is all stock, so no comparing to yours, but I have fun doing shows, which is what it is all about.
