cool, as long as it straightens out with the final mold, it should look pretty good!

and about the vents there is extra on the inside that needs trimming from the underside that I am also going to leave for after the mold. The only other problem is the left has a slight extra curve to it then the left up front. That was supposed to be fixed when i took it to the shop. I handed them a rough product and told them fix it and get it ready. I gave them 250 and all they basically did was prime the thing, didnt fix everything, and then to top it off i had to wetsand the primer.
