Thanks . . i see what your saying about the line. Thats the fun part "customizing"...I would take some light gauge aluminum and bend it and tape it up there on the backside and break out the lawn chair and just look at the front of the car....but thats me
Keep up the good work and im interested to see what you do..

I would make it out of fiberglass and attach to the front valance. Make a mold of thin aluminum and than tape in on your front valance. Use fiberglass mat and than when it is set up trim to the shape you want.

Lawn chair ? You can see your lawn?

Don't forget the beer, when you can see your lawn you have to have a beer, even if it's non alcoholic. Otherwise how do you get to the point that you only care about what you think instead of everyone else

I can't wait to see my lawn.

First off - this car Rocks. I don't know what it is but I love it. Maybe it's the simplicity that makes it so freaking cool.

As for the gap - make a nice filer piece that you can ad to the front end but make it removeable. The other thing I would consider is some sort of mesh behind the front bumper opening ( which looks awesome BTW ).

Keep us posted with the update and thank you for posting the pics.

Thanks man. Everything on the car has a purpose. NO FLUFF.

I think the bumper opening will be perfect for an intercooler.
