Enhance Your Car: DIY Carbon Fiber Rear Valance and Aluminum Inserts.

[@Teritius]

I really like the project and love the direction it's going. Have you ever thought about doing your explanations as a voiceover while showing what you're doing? It would be easier to visualize your train of thought.

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thanks for the feedback. I have thought about doing what you are saying. I actually started out filming all of my work using time lapse videos, two years ago. I thought that was getting boring to see so I changed it up some. Thanks for watching!

[@FatehMerrad]

Good job Roger!, I can't wait to see more

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you. I really like the openings "pattern" on the rear trim aluminum part.

[@7pathsofpain625]

Love the project and the pieces you just made 😀. Love how the exhaust is going out the center and I am SO happy you chose the 488 taillights. They are going to look so elegant on this supercar! I really appreciate this build and admire all of your ingenuity and hard work!

[@7pathsofpain625]

I would probably do the paint match lettering so your creations “name” really stands out. You gotta make that masterpiece name be well seen 😀

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you for the feedback. I am happy I changed to the Ferrari lights also, they look nice. Thanks for watching!

This project rules

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you! Great feedback, thanks for watching.

[@nephidir]

I like the orange letter idea.

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!

[@JohnFnLopez]

I like the idea of black gloss letters on flat black. But I like the sound of orange letters, too. Or brushed aluminum. Don't stress over it. It's going to look awesome almost any way you do it!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you and think both would look good, just can’t decide if I want subtle or bold badging. Thanks for watching!

[@ArthurTissuk]

We always wait for your videos!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you for the comment an thanks for watching.

[@suchoi61]

That looks amazing can't wait to see the progress of this astonishing Car build

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you! I am starting to get more excited myself. I can’t wait to see the entire rear end of the car finished.

The letters on the emblem should be in contrast color, that's for sure

[@FatehMerrad]

And curved too

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

I think I agree with you on that. Thanks for watching!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

@@FatehMerrad Curved? I was planning on having the letters SLA'd.

[@FatehMerrad]

@@basementsupercarbuild2948 Yes, I think it's already curved, and with Chrome paint, it will be nice

[@sakibsasdd12]

Best video ever!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you, I really appreciate the nice feedback!

[@emansuela_real]

The letter color should depend on whatever color your other trim elements are. If the rest are all anodized or chrome, then chrome. If the other trim pieces are carbon fiber or black, then black.

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

There won’t be any chrome on the car. The choices are black or orange letters, I can’t decide if I want subtle or bold badging. Thanks for your feedback.

[@carbonfiber8071]

How about titanium as a neutral accent color?

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Interesting idea, I will give that some thought. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@RiffleVFXportfolio]

I feel like it kinda depends the vision you want for the car. I like the idea of a more subtle look, which would be more classy and timeless (see Gordon Murray, Aston Martin, Bugatti) but more contrast with orange would be more extreme but might date it easier, like a Gumpert EDIT: I also think the tailpipe position is interesting and unique on its own, and deserves to stand out. An orange emblem might pull attention away from that

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with what you are saying, I just have a decision to make.

[@rjung_ch]

Hi Roger, Happy New Year first of all! Gung hay fat choy 🙂 Those Ferrari tail lights are nice, how expensive were they? Those molds are a lot of work, it's looking ever so nice indeed. The pattern looks very good, it's be awesome. I think the bottom parts will match with that pattern as well. Color of the letters, how does Black fit if the car would be yellow? It could look super, but I love yellow cars 🙂 Hi David, great shop you have, that laser chops through AL like butter. The part looks great, it fits very well. Thanks for taking us along on your build 👍💪✌

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you sir. The Ferrari lights were about $600 each, not terrible. I paid that much for some aftermarket Camaro taillights that I won’t be using, I need to sell those actually. The car will be the new Corvette C8 orange.

[@rjung_ch]

@@basementsupercarbuild2948 Nice, another special color. Thank you for the answer and good luck selling the other ones. I'm excited for you and us viewers 🙂

[@markkennedy4055]

Can you do the center "Wood template" out of brushed stainless steel and do the letters in black? I think the contrast of the Orange the brushed stainless and the black lettering would really pop!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Sure, anything is possible. There won’t be any chrome or other stainless parts visible. I was planning on using black in as many “trim” areas as possible. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@SakibAhsanTamim]

nice, roger

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

I hope you go into detail on the pim studs what they are and how to use them.

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

I will show the PEM studs in the next video and how I install and use them. Thanks for watching.

[@willotreez8899]

Visible 👍🏻

[@flynn512]

Regarding emblem colour: I really think that it should match body/grille colour to avoid looking tacky. Ive read a few comments saying it doesn't matter but it really can ruin the look of the rear.

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

So you are saying the word Phoenix should be black “more subtle” and not painted orange like the car? I can also see why that might look better. Thanks for the reply.

[@apojoga]

Hi, did you make the carbon parts yourself?

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Yes! So far I have made all of the parts myself. I am new to making molds and carbon fiber parts and have thought myself how to do it using mostly other people’s KZbin channels, and some trial and error. Thanks for watching!

[@apojoga]

@@basementsupercarbuild2948 Thank you for the answer, that's amazing dedication. Wishing you luck with your project!

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

@ thank you so much!

[@adriengadson3544]

That could be done in two parts . It just needed a flange on the cut between the two parts. Then you could use bolts and big clamps to hold it back together. If the cuts were almost perfect no puddy maybe needed. If there was a gap clay slicked over in the mold would fix any micro gap.Then same process as normal and would save the mold. This way you could save it to make another parts or modify the mold for the same part. Either way rock on.

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Thank you for the information. I will try a two part mold someday, I need the experience.

[@adriengadson3544]

@basementsupercarbuild2948 no problem just remember to put wax or mold release or both on the flange. To.make sure it separates without sticking in that area.

I love the project. Too low cost! But make the voice interesting

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Can you explain “too low cost”? The cost of the project? I have about $115k invested so far. “ make the voice interested”?

[@automotivequiz234]

I love what you're doing, but I don't think I like where the headlight is gonna stay Secondly, I think you need a background music to make it fun and attract more people including voiceover And if you look at the car design you showed us when you started the project, I don't think it matches cos it's too low

[@basementsupercarbuild2948]

Unfortunately, there are a limited amount of different headlights that will work on a car shaped like this. I am using Corvette C7 headlights and the size and shape of the lights determines exactly where they need to be placed in relation to the front tire wheel well arches.

[@automotivequiz234]

@@basementsupercarbuild2948 Actually, I meant the tail lights not the headlights. The position of the headlight is cool
