first coat of tooling gelcoat is on, should have the mold finished this week, then I will probably put a good 10 coats of wax on the mold before trying to pull a lip off it next week.

When I put these up for sale next week $25 from the sale of every lip will go to nopistons.com to assist in paying for the server

 

so what year are these going to fix and how much are you charging?

 

they fit both s4 and s5.



Im waiting until I make them to see how long it actually takes but Im thinking $125 sounds reasonable, I know I wont re-coup the mold cost but oh well.



they will be gelcoat, hand laid fiberglass and flexible resin.

 

Mold is finished, going to let it cure overnight, then release it from the plug, trim it and start waxing so that I can pull some parts from it.



Will have a nice shot of the mold tomoroww after its popped and trimmed.

 

Got the mold waxed and even managed to pull one from the mold. I used flexible resin and I am pretty happy with the amount of flex in the part. I can put more but I dont think I want too flimsy.



Used good quality glass too, 3/4 oz, 1.5oz, and 7oz, extra 1.5 along the radius area.



In a little bit Im going to clamp it up to my coupe that has a S4 bumper on it and take another picture.

 

looking good rob i might just have to order one in a month or so if you got them ready by then

 

they are ready now!

 

Wow I am super impressed! Soon as a recover from the kids back to school **** I will hit you up for sure.

 

this is where I clamped it, those spring clamps can be had at home depot for about 99 cents each, come in handy for lots of things.
