We weren’t in love with the piece of aluminum that came with the factory five kit. So we designed a piece that had some elegance and speed and muscle. It takes cues from the wheel arch radius and reflection of the flair merging to the body. We will be using a sand casting method with aluminum and polishing the final piece.

Criticism welcome.

I like it overall, but feel it leaves the opening still looking unfinished and open
