I had been thinking of taking about 2 inches out of a front bumper (along the whole length) then putting it back together to use for a fiberglass mold. I think this would give the car a better look without really changing the original styling. Never done anything like this and if you are able to do it I'd buy one.

i think that taking in the bumper is going to happen, the tr7 front bumper is so hidious. i was thinking of using a mercedes 190 bumper cover as a start. i also have a 1987 944 bumper that im going to chop up.
as far as making a bumper such as you said craig that would be easy. i could probably make it in a week. finding a reasonable price is always hard for me.

it does look nice i wont disagree, much better than the ones ive seen. however there is always a faster rat and everyone likes different styles. also can they make it out of carbon if someone wanted it, i can.

No, but I think it's a Dutch car.

Given that longitude is usually thought about as up/down and latitude left/right, does that make the cladder a lateral thinker?

And if so, are the photographer, owner, and designer of the body kit also the same?

... and to be pedantic, I did ask about "<b>its</b> background", not "<b>the</b> background"
