Bro you NEED to do a write up on how to make molds and glass your own aero.

That's something i've been wanting to learn how to do for YEARS. I can do speaker boxes, panels..... Stuff like that b/c it's easy to use wood with cloth stretched over it but that's just not practical with aero! I toyed with spray foam and a lot of sanding/shaping and that doesn't seem practical. Cardboard forms wouldn't transfer to well either!

On topic though.

Shipping would pwn me. I REALLY want one tho!

Im trying to figure out how to ship stuff cheap to US. We aint got UPS or FEDEX offices here and the norwegian postal services sucks big time.. when eastern is over its easier to get quote`s.. I Might be able to go down on the price to you guys..

ABout fiberglass lessons.. Im not a "writer" kind a guy, but i can take some quick pics, and a few steps to show you the way.. its not hard, just gotta be patient and work the airbubbles out of the resin.

Coool, a quick write up/pictures would be awesome too, hell if somebody can't figure out the procedure from a few good pictures and mediocre writing then they probably shouldn't try making their own aero in the first place haha. Maybe with some guidance I can start replicating the aero on my car since its been discontinued for years now haha.

And your vents look so much better than the uras vents imo, so it only makes sense that we pressure you into selling them. At least to a few of the cool kids haha.

If someone wanna copy my copied ones.. be my guest! In the end, making glass fiber sucks. I mostly do it for my own cars! Making that hood scoop isnt that bad, but when you have like 3 splitted molds and aaalot of edges (aero bumpers) it takes time and effort to make it look good. `You`ll end up breaking it crashing into a silly silvia, so why bother? :P

Im not planning a writeup since D-DAY is comming! On the qoute part im gonna make some calls tomorrow..

Depending on the size and ost of shipping, I may be in for 1-2 of these.

I am also on the hunt for some "extractor" style vents for the sides of the hood if anyone knows where I could get some, hit me up.
