Almost finished molding wing/shave trunk project - 56k beware (pics) - Honda Prelude Forum

PÂ®Ã©Â£Ã¹Ã?e95 · 07-13-2003, 03:31 AM

It came out pretty good. Since the wing is a replica (paid 160$ shipped for it), and replicas are known for their inaccurate fitment, causing huge gaps in between the pieces. We closed the gaps up, so we're closer to looking like an original wings west 3 pc wing. We also shaved the trunk as you can see, waiting for combat rear to come in so I can relocate the license plate, heh. Molded side pieces of the wing to the rear fenders of the car.

Still on the to-do list is smoothen some edges on the wing, put antenna back on, somehow get the LED brake light back through the "tunnel" and back into the trunk (any solutions for doing this heh)

Anyhow, here are some pics:

Before

After

My goal, 'cept with molded wing

Let me know what you think..

I like it. I never really like how the 3 piece wing had those curves on the side. Looks like you've filled them in. I was thinking bout that but not molding it

Gotta see some pictures when it's done.

Looks good

I can't wait till the finish product -painted. I especially want to see the 3 piece molding on the side.

You aren't molding the wing to the side pieces are you? Then you wouldn't be able to get into your trunk.

^^^ lol, yea, he is. Its 3pc though so hes only molding the side 2 pieces.

I'm not a huge fan of the shaved trunk, just doesnt look right to me. I'm just goin to fill in the 3mm line around the license plate and fill the holes from the Prelude emblem.

That looks sweet... but I have to agree with 4bidden....I like the look of the license plate .... uhm thing.... yeah

Anyways, can't wait to see pics of the final condition :bigthumg:
