I thought there was a mold and a prototype already in someones hands?

If not, silicone mold or casting resin...

Or 3D Scanner ... or 5 Axis Milling machine a Al version...

Been thinking about a project like this. Would definitely purchase.

Guys I was one of the 2-3 folks to get a prototype. The bad news is his mold is nowhere near a perfect fit for my car. I was doing some fitting over a weekend a couple weeks back. I'm not sure if any of the other folks were able to plug and play or if they had trouble. To fit my car it would require much more fitting and changing of the angle where it sits against the back of the part. Some rethinking maybe needed. Maybe the lower tab needs to be steel so it can be easily adjusted or twisted? Then the upper filler portion can be standard out of glass? I can't recall who else got one but a mass production doesn't seem likely for these based on what I've seen unless some other parts are very adjustable. Maybe we can start to get folks in another thread to report the measurements in the bumper gap opening to see if that is uniform. Another twist on mine is I have a turbo bumper.

I also got one and I'm afraid to say that the holes that were cut for the bumperettes at the factory are unique and beautiful snowflakes. They don't match left to right on my car nor car to car it would seem. It really was a botch job. Nothing taken away from the original job which was amazing, it just can't be used as a universal solution for everybody. I have some thoughts that I am working on that I will show when I am ready to do so.

If either of you is willing to part with your set, I'm willing to buy. I can do the bodywork to make them fit.

Other options are available ... paint your bumperettes or do it right and go with a Euro bumper

This is exactly the best way to describe the issue! Not universal at all!
