Thanks Herrtzeber. If you're a painter then it shouldn't be a huge deal. There is some trimming that needs to be done, and some waviness that needs to be built up and sanded out. As I said, I had mine done by a big volume collision place and they were able to fit the body gaps fine, but they didn't build and sand to get the real nice finish. It's fine for a track car but not perfect. One of those things most people don't notice but I can spot it right away. Here is a closeup where you can see a bit of the waviness.

oh ya that shouldn be a problem, been planning to do the whole car eventually, po had the car refinished and some of the imperfections drive me nuts but its been hard to find the time to tackle it. some weekend i have completely clear i'll make it happen.

I was pretty lucky, not much work was needed to be done on mine....just a little sanding.

^^ Do you have an aftermarket driver's seat? Or do you just sit back reeeeeaaaalllllyyy far?

wior

That's funny, ive never really noticed that before.....i do like to sit back a little but I think I had the passenger seat up for my friends kid, took him for a joy ride.

Very nice!! Where did you get that nose panel? Where and how much sanding did you have to do?

Gary - that's *exactly* what my nose panel looks like (sans the crest).

What is the funcionality of the vented pannels? I know you need a raised one for a bigger IC but what about stock ICs? any more cooling?

ehall

Yes there is better cooling. You can search NZ951's name, and you'll find his data. It is still ambient air, just more of it.

Has anyone had any success cutting/bending their own nose panel? Is the SFR just cut smooth, or is the edge rolled in? Any .pdf templates I can print out and cut my own with?

That is one smooth looking car Skip.

That's the nose panel I used to have. Here's my current one:

There was a template posted somewhere in that huge 'SFR vented nosepanel' thread a while back..

IIRC they were made by dp951, I've used his templates, so they do line up well...
