I like it. Are they for sale?

I love the way that it’s not too much. Very subtle and suits the lines of the car. Great job.

[teachermechanic]

No, I don’t want to sell it right now. It’s more to inspire those who don’t like the front of the car. I always found the "M"bumper look is incomplete.

I'm always impressed by people that can fabricate parts that look so 'manufactured' if you know what I mean (not home made). Great job!

Ditto!
How was this beauty fabricated? Materials?

[teachermechanic]

The piece is made of fiberglass. Thanks for the good feedback, I like the whole car, it was the only point I didn’t like.

That’s super, would go for it on my coupe. The current lip looks a bit like an underbite. Your solution is tidy.

[Meeners]

That looks great! I like your old and the new version. I second that if you end up wanting to get molds made and can make it out of a more pliable material that I would certainly purchase one.

[Tigershark48]

Agree with everyone. Excellent job!

[BrightEs]

Agreed this looks amazing. Making a master mold from it or having it 3D scanned and used to make more would be awesome. I'd buy this.

[rasmuw]

I would also be interested in buying one. I agree it makes the front look more finished.

Same here. I'd love one of those on my silver M Coupe.

[crashgordan]

also would buy

[BrightEs]

Would you ever considered having this 3D scanned for reproduction? There's a good number of people just here who would pay to have one of these.

[CLOWN5HOE]

I like it!

[Pat Gautier]

OK, I've been obsessing over this since I saw it. Studying compositing and such but I am stumped as to how you made the mold. Care to share any tips on materials used/process?

[teachermechanic]

Hi Pat, i am not using mold. it's hard for me to explane because my first language is french. The material is fiberglass.

Thanks for the response. I have a few ideas. Do you have any pics of the process? The results look pretty perfect to my eye!

Bringing this back to add to the “would buy” crowd. Seriously, about 10 people just in this thread for say maybe $3-$400? I really like it and would love for you to make more.

[Dino171]

I would buy one for sure. Let's do this!
