Chris, I didn't want the front end to look too weighted down with a thicker piece of styrene. I think on the real car it looks thicker because of the curves - kinda like a small lip at the ends, then tapering towards the inner parts of the bumper. While I was painting, I considered that and tried to duplicate by airbrushing a bit more paint to the very ends of the plastic. This did improve a bit by rounding and thickening. Oh, well there's still gonna be Hamann #2 (mine). This one's being done for a customer. What he doesn't know, won't hurt! As the saying goes-Ignorance is bliss!
