Any one here good with

Fiberglassing? I'm getting ready to hack up my R-Magic front bumper
to mold those S4 Bicolored turn signals into it. I'd appreciate the help.

I might come down anyway for a weekend if you can OK it with your
old lady. I just quit my job so I got some free time for a bit.

Fiberglassing is very simple. It gets a little more complicated if you're having to create molds, but still any person with half a brain should be capable of grasping the process. What exactly are you going to be hacking out of the bumper? Do you have a photo of the kit so I know the areas you'll be installing the signals? It sounds to me like easy work in small areas. Chicken wire and cardboard could become your friend for molding smaller contours if you wanted to keep it simple

here tim


No molds necessary, just hesitant about cutting into a $900+ bumper.
I just have to convert from S4 to S5 buckets (Guess the right term). I
was even thinking of using an S4 bumper and fabing them into this R-Magic
one, I dunno yet....

Definitely sounds like easy work. Just pick yourself up some cloth and resin and some sandpaper and you're set. And be sure to mark off what you're removing with some tape so you ensure clean cuts
