VX SS Front bar modification

[235rwkw]

Had an idea, didn't have a big sheet of perspex to work with. So tried it for looks, when i get time I might get a bigger sheet of lexan and make one up the full width of the front bar. So far not hit it on anything, the prototype is perpex so will crack easy, when i get some lexan sheet it won't, that stuff is bullet proof, but expensive $200 for the size i need.

What do you think ? bit different is all i'm after, i don't like to be the same as everyone else. also added the chrome for something different.

(thats not a scratch either, beats me some reflection of something..)

No comments?

Does it look OK or not the black addition down the bottom?

OOOHHHHh i see what we are meant to be looking at lol, it blends in so well, it looks good as, rekon you could do that to a spak bumper aswell?

I quite like it, fills out the indented spot nicely...

Good work bud

that looks killer. Well done i love it, it fills up that gap nicely and separates it from the rest of the ss kits

Thanks, i tried to blend in the curve of the sides to continue to the middle.

would be good if was wider so it went right around the sides but not poking out at all. but that was the widest bit of perspex i had at the time.

it was heated to mold the shape, as the bottom of the bar actually slopes upwards.

seems to help with cooling pushing more air up.

need to spray that mesh black again, got blue on it when i resprayed the bar. used to have the thick type mesh, but i reckon that stuff reduces air flow, so fit some fine mesh.

probably i've hit it before without that on.

hence why i want to use some lexan instead of perspex. Lexan will not shatter like perspex will.

I have another one made at home that has a small crack just from the jigsaw cutting it.
lexan is bullet proof, and can bend it in a circle without it cracking.

Next one i'll make I'll do a little less drop in the middle. One day after i finish another head porting job, and get a dual core radiator. I'll go back to this bar project and prototype 2..

Off topic abit... how did you tint the foglights? using the sheet tint or the spray on stuff??

The lip thing looks pretty cool...
