nice job! how did it go? any problems/surprises?

nah they're pretty easy... just time really (as i'm sure you know). i bonded the 2 with 8115, then used a short strand filler (duraglas) followed by polyflex. i also deleted the 2 lower fins in the front openning but it's not very easy to see in the picture. i have some better pics somewhere but i can't seem to find them.

Nice job on those molds man. I am planning on doing this during the upcoming winter. But i currently have all my rub strips off to sand and paint black. I am also goin to shave the 2 holes in the front rub strip from the license plate. How did you fill them? Thanks for your help.

basically used the same products that I did the blend with.
Back fill holes with the mesh & Maxim then level and feather with the Polyflex
good luck

ive got a votex but im not really into it anymore....i want to go back to the oem with the bottom valence where can you get the chrome little bar that wraps around the front?

also i would like to say thank you for such a detailed diy and it has given the currage to tackle it myself

Man this is an old thread but the work is great!!

Wish I could afford to buy a nice front lip and blend it. I want to see you shave the rub strip as well

This is awesome. I plan on doing this as well. Subbed!

Damn I just realized this is a bump from the grave...

Was a little excited at first till I read through the whole thread and realized the almost 8month+ of inactivity...
