Nope... it has to be that way because I have a mounting stud embedded in that corner. It is flush for most of that top edge. Doesn't look bad in person at all.

I hope so. Not sure if it's because of the angle or what but it looks really glaring to me. If there was a lip in the fender to match it, it'd probably help but it's a little late for that. Otherwise it looks great

I like your idea... I'll look into making the fender match the aero panel there. Thanks.

Glad I could help

I know this is subjective but I'm curious what do y'all think about these shapes for my aero panel?

First go-round...

2nd go-round after rethinking things and applying some input from IG and here.

Did this quickly in Photoshop Sketch (Android). Probably my favorite at the moment.

Aqua variant. Mirrors the contour of the wheel well the best

zeal86 · 03-27-2019, 04:00 PM

Sketched out a line that falls somewhere between my previous aqua and purple variants.

I'm on the fence with this design right now...Hopefully by Saturday I will have decided.

Better or not?

Either make it straight, or curved. Not in-between.

wolffbite · 03-27-2019, 05:47 PM

I think the more aggressive curve of the aqua variant matches the other curved lines the best.

I'm thinking of doing that way first... since it is wider I can still change my mind without having to add any more fiberglass.

Well... my aero design has evolved... I have a folder full of pics of aero designs I like... I've taken inspiration from those designs along with input from others and have arrived at the following... The design is still very fluid though...

Not sure if I want to make the additions a permanent part of the fenders or just have them mate up cleanly...

I do not like the mesh vent at all. Looks like a "vent" that would be on a stock application like a mustang or a Tiburon

It would be smaller in size...I thought about slots but since the garnish will have mesh I feel there would be a lack of consistency... especially because of their proximity to each other.
