    What?

    Sure, it would keep out water, but wouldn't that heavily restrict the amount of air actually getting to the filter?

    I havent been able to get too much done recently due to my day job been totally chaotic over the last 2 weeks. Its very close to been done. Ive just got to go over it a couple of times and make it absolutely perfect before I make the mold.

    2k is higher at the front. Stops it banging on stuff:p

    They are acutally higher than my one as the stock one has a little cut out on the front lip for extra clearance.

    Latest update. I have now leased a workshop to make the spoilers and bars in. :)

    Mould has been completed and production will start next week. The first 2 bars out of the mold have already sold.

    I will close this thread and start another when production commences.

    Other projects

    mold for carbon fiber bonnet for a KE70 corolla.

    Why would I make a bonnet for a keetoe you ask?

    1. No one else has

    Chassis has already been modified to run s13 coilovers. Not bad for $50 :p

    Its been a month since my last post and I'm happy to say that the project has been a success.:D

    Mold is complete and I have pulled 2 front bars out of it and it is working well.

    Here are some pics of the first spoiler that came out of the mold. The only issue I had was that the indicators were a tight fit. Nothing a quick hit with 40 grit on the air sander didnt fix. For the earlier question that Mclovin asked. This bar is fitted over the stock intercooler ducts. All I had to do was place 2 slits on one side of it to allow it to shape to the new ducts. All in all, I am a very happy boy. Cant wait to get the respray done. :zlove:
