The Techart kit hasn't even seen any road time yet.Had it painted,installed it then started this project.If this all works out I will be selling it,hopefully to someone wih a black car.
Yes I will be trying to make a front lip as well,but not until the sides are done.
Sure hope this all works out,LOL !
Thanks for the comments so far.

I've got a black C2S coupe and would be interested in the TechArt kit. Let me know if you decide to sell.

I can't say thank-you enough for the positive feedback from you,it really means alot !
Here are a few more updated pics from today,enjoy(for those following).
It is amazing how the car itself will dictate the profile of the parts as they are formed.Now just to make the other side match !

Sideskirts and rear spats are done,so off to the paint shop next week to paint the proto-types,hopefully.
Making the duplicate for the other side is usually pretty tuff but this went with no problems and relatively easy and it doesn't usually happen that way.
I will paint the proto-types just to see if I like the look before spending the big money on molds.
I also need to get my tires and wheels mounted,I think that will help the overall look.Somehow the bodykits look better with the bigger wheels,bodykits and stock wheels just don't look right IMO.
Thanks again for looking !

Yes they are a bit lower by 1/2 ".This is one of the things I was still thinking about changing.Would only take an hour to sand the rear of the skirt down and re-do.It also looks like greater difference in the pics for some reason.The main reason may be because the natural lines to the car on the rear fenders makes the sideskirts curve out(wider) and the bumper curves under and there is just no way to follow the exact same profile without it looking funny.
The way I was looking at it was the Techart sides with NO rear pieces ends up being a bigger difference than this,thus leaving it this way.I really need my wheels and tires on the car and the kit painted black.Right now the kit stands out like a sore thumb !

Thanks for the opinion,it helps alot to be critiqued(hope that is how you spell it).
