That'll work too. I am partial to that curve, that's why I got the 98-00 LS. You should definitely make some like the air dress ones and sell them. I bet you can make a killing selling them for $100-150. The air dress ones retail for 20,790 yens (around $225 USD), so you'll for sure make profit for your efforts.

i was thinking about making a template for the new ones so i can easily make more of them to sell. i was thinking $150 shipped as primered and ready to paint.

i appreciate the work you've put in and the concept has potential, but not at all a fan of the execution. looks like a damn triangle (because it is) and doesnt flow at all.
