I wish there was a front lower piece to complement the Euro extension! Otherwise, the car looks AMAZING!

Your car looks great! Thanks for showing them.
Here's the Euro front flare. It's part of the front gill panel. Not a seperate piece.

Are those stock rims? If so, what model did they come on?

I just sold a pair of NOS front fender flares. They are like the rear GS flare and use 3M tape/screws to attach.

I think if someone was any good with fiberglass that "they" could make this as a seperate part and sell it with the front flares and make some more money??

While I can manufacture most anything, the problem with manufacturing things like this is...Very few people will stand up and pay for the finished product. Manufacturing an item doesn't "just happen" by itself. It takes a lot of initiative, planning, and work to make a good part. You have to get paid for all of that effort and work.

If it was easy, everyone would do it.

WARNING TO ALL MEMBERS: DON'T DO BUSINESS OR TRUST WITH BRETT RICHMOND,
i.e.,

HEY BRETT, speaking of money how about you parting with some of yours...specifically the $25 you shafted me out of
Remember these posts you is deadbeat??
"quote:

and all of these from me??
" BRETT,I made your watch exactly to your design specifications.
You requested I delay making watch until after April 15 because you owed $4000 IRS tax. I agreed
I advised you April 30 that it was finished and your directions were to bring it to give it to you at JVD's BBQ and you'd pay me
At JVD's you said you only had $10 but would get cash and pay me later...you took the watch.
I have repeatedly sent you payment instructions and you still have not paid me the $25.
I trusted you as I have always done with members of our brotherhood, or as Doug Johnson said, "It's not the car; it's the people"

I find it hard to believe you WOULD shaft me for $25

If there's a problem with the watch return it and I'll sell it to someone else

TALK TO ME OR PAY ME"
