[Drift Monkey]

A little project me, NALegacy, and a friend decided to try today, fixing my lip, which had broken in half MONTHS ago. We all had zero experience with fiberglass (n00bz) but here goes...

Semi-flat black. Good as new. :tup:

All in all it was a great learning experience for us all, and after alot of cursing, it's done. It's not perfect, but in more than acceptable condition to put on my car. fiberglass n00bz FTW! :lol: It's goin' on the car tomorrow, gonna let it dry more overnight. Installed pics soon..

did the local autoparts store run out of fg cloth man??? :lol: one piece?? Uh, no? :confused: I used only one layer in the back and one strip in the front, on top (where it sits against the bumper). It seems strong enough, I have handled it and it doesn't look like it's gonna break any time soon.

That resin set before we were even done putting the strips down on the lip.:lol:
Too bad I had to leave, but it looks good daniel...

I'm thinking it might be a little too flat. Might have to go over it with some satin black...
