Making my own M'z style bumper flares (Image heavy and LONG...)

[Qwik6]

Too late for me. I just ordered DG motorsports front splitters

M'z tune is out and will not be making any more. They will refurbish ones that has been in an accident. This case is now closed. It's official, shy of heading to japan and grabbing the 5 finger discount off a real M'z tune MS6, these things no longer exist. I'm pretty bummed.

Now I'm thinking of finding a flare off of some other car and fabricating something for a mold. I know Toyota is puting a lot of plastic on their cars these days (think corrolla S model) I work in tooling/plastics and think I may be able to come up with some type of a mold that I can use to thermoform the actual piece. I really want something to set my baby apart from the rest. I don't like that CF is not impact resistance. I'm thinking some type of urathane or thermoset material. Wishful thinking, but I do have some time coming up......It'll be alot of late night sneaking into the shop.

I am completely in disbelief that someone with the capacity to mold these and some type of CAD system to design them has not jumped on this. I mean, I really applaud your efforts to do this yourself but surely one of the major body kit manufacturers could crank these out for next to nothing and sell them all day. Anyone got a connection?

i was thinking the SAME thing! between this and the empty grill idea, they can make a nice profit, i spoke to nextmod about it and they told me if they and enough people interested they would do it. I have over 20 people sign and and they they backed off because they didn't want to become registered vendors on our forum....

Not sure what registered vendor status entails (cost/benefit, etc.) but it sure would be nice to have more options for appearance mods.
