I got a couple things done tonight, and its all based on trying to get to the point i can make fender liners. This time it was removing the pinch weld in the wheel well by the door hinge and cutting holes in the hood for tire clearance under load. I didn’t want to cut these holes for visual reasons but maybe ill style them up!

Added some caps to cover the tires. I couldn’t make lmp1 style tire cutouts to look right so i spent the time and made some out of fiberglass. At the same time i also cut holes in the bumper for the splitter support cables. Idk why but it seems stiffer now and im plenty pleased with the current sate of the splitter.

Todays mayhem was instead makeimg fender liners and that was a much bigger undertaking. The wheel well was completely covered in masking tape then glassed over. I went through an entire gallon of polyester resin and a good portion ended up on me but it does look cool for two layers.

Maybe venting the tire covers at the rear would relieve any undue pressure? |

I will more than likely vent them further out. It just doesn’t look right on the little covers i made |
