Dakar was just the begining.

Carbon fiber look would be fine with me. Would prefer a scoop but I suppose we will look at that later. My vote would be a 4runner style scoop. I think a scoop like that would match the curves of our car perfectly

Wow, totally missed this thread. Very cool. Keep us updated. Think I might be interested in sideskirts and rear plate.
Cheers!

Those actually look pretty nice. I might even consider a front skid plate just so I can run without a front license plate.

I'm wetting myself in anticipation...

Well, I can breath a sigh of relief, I have the molds, (arrived today) and most of the supplies needed to start. Just missing a few items like the duratec primer and hi gloss gel coat additive. The molds are a bit rough, so will have to work them to gold plate them and make them glass smooth. Will then make a master set of plugs and molds to set aside. As far as the hood insert go, am working with a local supplier to source the mounting hardware. Want to duplicate the OEM mounting as close as I can since they have already done the engineering on it. Anyway, that is where it stands for now.
Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

You are doing an awesome favor for the club. Thank you
You have to "gold plate" the molds?
Please don't forget the hood fangs...unless I am the only person wanting them.
Have a nice Holiday!!

Sorry, gold plate is an expression we use to use in the Air Force when prepping the F-111 for alert duty, 'making it perfect'

Well, things are progressing nicely. I bought a little over 2 grand worth of supplies which have arrived. Have been getting the workshop sorted. Next week, since I have some time, will start getting some work surfaces sorted and mold holders, maybe even gold plate one or two of the molds.
Get'in close, get'in excited.
Really want to see what a faux carbon fiber skid plate looks like, maybe even one in a silver glitterflake like a bass boat if anyone wants a little bling
Super VXer
this what you are still thinking for price??
Super VXer
Well, you know, that was ballparking. I hope I can do it for that if not less. My labor is cheap. Of course I will have to pass on the shipping and handling. It's a case of breaking down the cost of material per part, then figuring in some of Kentucky's finest as overhead and going from there. (Tysamigo can explain 'Kentucky's finest' to you if you don't understand). Hope to maybe be making parts within a month. Of course I have to deal with a flooding workshop about then. Washington, the evergreen state, cause it is all moldy from the friggen rain
