I'm sorry past couple of weeks at work have been hectic, but I should be printing a prototype this week and testing for fitment. If it works well I'll be sending it to my auto body guy to get painted. He has the exact paint for the black/rear portion.

Hoping to get some pictures this weekend of the test piece fitted if all goes well.

Pretty cool.

Just keep in mind, if you do start advertising or selling here on the forum, make sure to become a vendor, so you don't break a forum rules.

Any good news?

Test printed the first prototype. We've been hit with a few snow storms here so trying to get the back side clean and test mounted is a little difficult.

I'll try to take pictures of the test piece, as is, soon.

Out of curiosity, how is everyone mounting their current exhaust covers? Self tapping screws or bolts and nuts?

Count me in for one as well!

@RayRay88 I've had the Innovated Dynamics exhaust hole cover on my BRZ for about two years now and they supplied me with nuts and bolts. The holes came pre-drilled in the cover, so it was a pretty easy mock up. Haven't had any issues with it coming loose since the installation.

Hello everyone!

Just an update, wanted to post some pictures of the prototype part.

It was printed in SLS Nylon (Flexible, durable, high temp and chemical resistant), you can see the stepping lines (0.004in layer thickness) but they'll be primed, filled and smoothed before I install it.

Dry fitting it looks good, there are some minor 1mm or less gaps around the edges but im sure it'll be undetectable short of someone moving in about a foot or two close to it and taking a look. Overall pretty happy with it. There's quite a bit of thickness around the mounting holes to drill it out to whatever fastening hardware I decide to go with.

Still not sure what type of real interest there is in the part. We have the capabilities to create a mold of it and cast in High impact Urethane. But there would definitely be a minimum order needed per side (each side requiring its own tooling). Would also have to reach out and get vendor status here I'm sure.

Looking forward to get it primed and painted. I spoke to my body shop guy who has some paint matched bumper paint for the rear diffuser area.
It's been hectic at work recently but I'm hoping to get it mounted on the car in the next few weeks.
Thank you everyone who has showed interest in the part.

Looks pretty good. Would definitely put myself in a list for a passenger side cover

What kind of 3d scanner did you use to scan that section or was it off a 3d cad model already made?

I believe it was an artec scanner.

That scanner is wayyyyyy out of my budget. So much for thinking about buying a good 3d scanner. Thanks!
