Very nice. Interested to see how you handle the wheel well molding. Mine was done in done in one piece. The guy cut enough of the stock molding off and glued/welded to the bumper part. I don't like it very much.

I think yours came out bad ass. I'm just afraid of molding anything on my car. I know that section molding isn't much but if and when the day comes that I'll have to take my front bumper back off for anything i don't want to deal with it cracking.
I might just cut it where the fender meets the bumper.
Here's my girl's Del Sol back in the day. I had the rear bumper molded and side skirts to the rear panel and fender. It was strong but after a few years of bouncing around on air suspension i had a few little cracks that bugged the shit out of me.

You right, there're hair line crack at the joint on that molding already. I think cut the molding where the fender and bumper meet so it two separate pieces is the way to go! How do you convince everyone in your family to have the same same color scheme on their cars? :smile (2): They all looks awesome!

My Audi is still silver and FX is black. I PlastiDipped the FX for now so i can be white but i'm thinking of just painting it white.
The Lexus on my driveway is my parent's car. They didn't care what kind of car it was as long as it was nice and reliable so i picked up a Lexus LS600hL for them. Every time they go on vacation i leave my Audi at their place and do little mods to the Lex. Plus it saves me a bunch on gas because its a Hybrid and i made the bad habit of driving my Escalade as a daily.
Also i brained washed the whole family into doing all white cars so when we all get together its a Miracle Whip driveway.

This is off topic but here's a rig shot of my parent's car that i did this weekend. Kind of random.

Sorry to hear Andy, I can patch it if you want. Really thought the glass would hold.
 
Didn't mount it yet. Just trimmed the fender molding and placed the bumper on the car.
