I'd buy one if you'd make another...

Fibre newby here. Could you shape it by bending it into shape or did it require something more drastic?

Nicely done!

Iroc and RSR/open mouth make the car look just god awful. Tuck in that lip before it gets shot off!! ;)

The top edge profile of the bumper was changed slightly to match the lower edge of the smile using filler.


It was not really necessary and the smile fit would have looked OK without it, but as I had so much other reshaping to do I just included it in the other work.

Looks really fantastic. Much improved. I have a '79 SC, owned since new. All stock and I've been exploring for a decade, ways to get rid of my impact bumpers. Considered IROC, Ruf, stock tuck, SCRS. Yours is clean, not too wild, and I love the round cooling ducts.

Very nicely done! Both the valance and shortening look just right. One thing that always bothered me with the IROC bumper is the line of the wheel arc. It doesn´t quite follow the line of the fender. It kind of slants to much forwards. At some point in the distant future, if I can get a hold of a cheap bumper, I might be trying for something like this, instead of chopping a piece in the middle for shortening.
