i make lip wings and copy bumper molds dont have the money to actually start producing them yet but i made the molds its alot more work then you think you cant just learn how to make parts reading about it on the interwebs ive been doing fiberglass work for like 9 years. Its also hard to get the air bubbles out between layers in time so that the part is flat and rigid
 
I need some work done to my Rx7 exhaust. Im gonna get a racing beat header and connect it to an STI muffler (or have a dual exhaust) but I'll need somebody to fab up the piping in between. Who would you guys recommend??
 
Wow I just saw this thread pretty cool shit nice work guys will post pics when I get back to the shop there is some in my roll cage thread Also Jerry u can move a tig machine to the car they even make wireless pedal now and the new dirversion 180 has it on the torch.

This is with full interior minus sound deadening, 17" rims, and a huge speaker box in the trunk :)

The trans spilled it's guts (trans #2, 12.9 was on trans #3) at 350whp less than 4k (6750 redline) on a dyno...
 
Nice!

Coated some Equip centers tonight, wish the camera could catch the color as it is. Did a valve cover a while back and you can see it from across the parking lot haha...
