Can't wait to see the rear section in carbon! I have been wanting something like this for my car. I like the idea of the two piece bumper and that you are retaining most of the factory look.

Thx for the comments!

Today i started with the wing, first i filled up the space with foam.






Then i start to cut of the foam to my attached marks.


You can see that all the foam now are in line with the separators.


First layer of putty.




Tomorrow i will continue shape up the wing.
