Thumbs up

I'm in for a JP replica wing since you can't get them from JP in a timely manner. Will they be polyurethane or fiberglass?

Id like to make a few good sets before I start to even think about making anything out of fiberglass for other peoples car. Since Im new at this whole thing I still dont know my whole road ahead & things may come up I may not be able to over come so no promises yet.

You have your creative juices flowing I see. I like everything besides the halo lights, leave those for the bimmers. Other than that congrats bro.

Good luck to you in the up coming projects I think the halos will look good once their mounted inside the car. What color were you going to paint the eyelids? And for the back I'm really not feeling that.
