Re: Autotech Nissan Stagea 260RS 1/24

Found this photo of a really nice rear bumper. So..... I decided to turn the kit bumper into this one. This is kind of neat as I have never done fab work like this before.

I first sectioned the bumper. I wish I had taken a before photo but you can see how bulky it looks on the box.

I measured down to the lowest body line on the model and cut the the rest that covered above that off. Then I masked and cut out the lower section to mimic the photo. I will then use either the lower portion I removed or flat stock along with some think tubing to create the recess like the photo. Still need to do some final sanding to even it up but it's close. I am also definitely going with white on this kit.
