You know, I don't have a big problem if you break out the 'glass' and make your own kit by hand from scratch. You can make it look like whatever you want. I have a problem with the guys that get the bumper, make an exact copy and start busting out a crap load of kits and undercutting the cost of the original maker.

Glass can't stand to much abuse becasue it will crack easy in impacts, but it is cheap and easy to make

Urathane is much better at holding up to bumping agianst curbs becasue it will bend rather than crack, but for low production runs it is too costly to make a mold.

I think p_r_i_m_e_r_a should make it out of kevlar. Same idea as glass but will bend all day long. That is why bulletproof jackets are make out of the stuff. The bullet hits the fabric and just streches untill the bullit stops.

I agree about making an exact copy, but disagree about taking ideas from them.

Yea I agree also....with everyone:hehe:

I pick up the foam tomorrow and start the process, but as of tonight I am still doing alot of drawing.
I'm undecided over the following things:
1 should the "mouth" of the kit have depth. If you look at the red Pulsar bumper I posted, you can see what I'm talking about.
2 should I keep the sides of the front-bumper "non-agressive" and straight. This means no gills, scoops, ect.
3 should the side-skirts be "easily streetable" or just plain stupid slammed:smoker2:
Something i've been playing with:

for the sides, make it so you can make it over big bumps just make it around the same height off the ground as the front.

My preferences would be to keep it subtle, not overly agressive.

Subtle can be very effective (i.e., BMW M3, M5). Just make it different enough to catch attention instead of screaming "LOOK AT ME I'M ORIGINAL"
