    my black widow 2.5 bumper

    before pick









    sorry for the picture jacking man lol



    ive ben busy hacking away and fiberglassing on this thing for a couple of weeks now in my spare time doing a little bit of modifying to it lol first i fixed all the cracks and scrapes and dings in the poor thing
    then layed down two more layers of glass and matt due to the damn thing beeing so flimsy no wonder they crack so easy.

    then i cut out and reglassed the sides where to "side ports were" some how i feel that my g wasnt going to go fast enuf to need them lol
    then i deleted the lic plate notch in the front because im just to cool to rock a front plate

    i still gotta sand the sides down once agin and smooth it out

    i hope to finish her up friday trim the crash bar a little put her on and then lay down one more layer of glass on the bottom lip
    and paint fukin red pearl cost 87 bucks a PINT ridiculous!!

    im thinking about putting some rectangle fogs in the slits these look like they would fit but idk http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Recta...#ht_2911wt_758

    interested to see how it comes out... i hope you have some sides and a rear planned out because it does sit low and will look uneven without the rest of the body lines matching

    Good work, Looks much better the way u hooked it up. But u still can see the bump a lil where that vent was on the sides, if u dont fix it now, it will be very noticeable once u paint it. Some black mesh or a billet grille top & bottom will look good once painted. Does that take JDM Heads or USDM? IMO the fogs might just clutter the look of the bumper.
    Will u be able to dump it still with that bumper on without crackig it up? It looks pretty tall.

    its a usdm fit bumper
    i wont be able to tuck the whole front rim like i just spent countless hours drilling and welding the struts to but i can fight that battle another day
    mesh is in rout that real thick diamond mesh sh!t that blings in the sun lol

    yea thats the only problem with trying to glass around a curve its realy not to noticeable i can deff live with it lol the front top part is the only part that im not going to touch anymore but as you can see there is still filler along the edges thats what is making the patched area noticeably raised

    i still have to do some work to it before i do finishing work to it


    *pluss it adds down force and gives me 4 more horsepower on my but dyno*

    I figured u wouldnt be able to dump it as usual, but Im sure it'll still look good. Be nice to see once its painted with mesh installed.

    LMFAO @ the 4 HP!

    yea she does look kinda strange but once i put the super vr4 sides, fender flares, and super vr4 rear extensions on..... she should look nice and even all around
