I saw the spray foam and I was like "nah" then I saw the fiberglass and I was thinking okay, then I wondered how it was a diffuser without the fins, then you brought it all together with the plexiglass and I was convinced. This is fantastic! Super great job

(EDIT: Just a little advice, It was still good work 100%) I would use this as the cast and make a mold to make the final product. I'm a fan of cut precise pieces in one piece when possible for structural integrity.

That and the End product can be lighter as well because you have little to no filler added in.

Very good work. My question is how long will it last? The adhesion usually doesn't last over time do to vibration and wind.

[@VIK7ORIOS_WORKSHOP]

It's not just the foam holding it, the diffuser is molded to the bumper with resin so it acts like a glue.

[@tindosbosques]

​@@VIK7ORIOS_WORKSHOPexcellent idea and excellent work. To fix/glue it, did you apply the polyester resin all over the bumper before applying the PU expanding foam?

[@VIK7ORIOS_WORKSHOP]

[@hommadis]

Is that fg putty all over the mould or just in some gaps? I am working on my own project. Wondering what would be best to give shape to the structure before priming it, the fb in some places have not sticked to the base. Plz advise.

The fiber putty is only applied in the corners. For the rest of the surface and for a final layer I used normal body filler.

If I don't like how the body kit turned out, can I simply remove it without damaging the fender?

[@juozas7124]

Does the foam stick to the bumper's clear coat, or do you have to sand it before applying foam, for it to stick?

[@VIK7ORIOS_WORKSHOP]

Depends on what foam you are using. The brand I used can stick to clear coat or other smooth surfaces. But if you plan on placing it permanently, I would recommend scuffing the surface first.

Cool 👍🏿, i wonder how much more weight is added to the rear after this mod. But besides that fantastic work 👏🏾 👌🏾

[@stinkeyecustoms]

Very little actually, 10 mil plexi would be roughly 2.5lbs a square foot, cant be more than that on there, sprayfoam is about a half pound per cubic foot, doubt theres more than 2 cubes left after trimming, fiberglass, while still not as light as carbon, is pretty light, 3 pounds a square yard on average cured, likely 2.5 yards were used, add about 8 ounces of bondo left after bodywork... I'd say 11.5 pounds or less. 🤷‍♂🤣

Good job the only thing I'd have done different is cover the entire lower section of the bumper in masking tape prior to the foam stage pushing the tape flush into the shape of the bumper.this would have allowed you to seperate the splitter from the bumper once you had it glassed. The foam can then be removed and the splitter would be a seperate piece to the bumper rather than 1 whole piece

[@VIK7ORIOS_WORKSHOP]

I know but I wanted it to be a 1 piece.

@@VIK7ORIOS_WORKSHOP again I'm not knocking it, even as a one piece it makes sense to tape the bumper and remove the foam after glassing.
