So, yes im all new to this forum, and just saw the 'Hot to make a car hood/bonnet' on YT, and they talked about this forum, so i thought ill ask here.
Im going to make a Ducktail for my 1990 SW20 MR2, and i thought ill ask for some tips and tricks here.
Wanted result:
Well, you get the point of what i am going for.
Im not thinking of making a complete bootlid, as i dont have money for making it (student), so im thinking of 2 things:
1. Making a 'addon' to the original bootlid (like s13, s14 and s15 ducktail from TRA_Kyoto)
Like this:
OR
2: Making a 'cover' for the bootlid. What i thought of was, sanding down the OEM bootlid, and making a thin 'layer' over the bootlid (and making a foam shape of the ducktail)
I will be making it of fibregalss as carbon is too expensive
(yes i am poor)
Soooo, anyone have some protips for the making of this? (I would buy the MadPSI trunklid, but at $750, before shipping, taxes into norway and so, its just too much for me :S)
