It looks fantastic with no moldings and molding details on the blue notch. The sides of the car between the wheel well moldings is filled in and smoothed nicely. The bumpers don't match up perfectly and look a little bulky since it appears the molding wasn't removed just covered over.
I have a prototype and tooling guy I hope to be working with the beginning of '09 doing some killer new hot rod fox body Mustang parts including flex resin fiberglass parts. Smooth bumpers are at the top of my list and plan to offer these as high quality and very affordable pricing. I will be tweaking the styling just a touch so I'm not just molding a stock bumper with no molding. I also have a great connection for carbon fiber parts that I will be producing. That's all for right now. Want to hear feedback on smooth bumpers....

What does the weather have to do with the shaving of the moldings?Well i think that looks great, but how would you do it on a gt?

I think he just filled the square hole that is in the middle of the molding or metal.

What I dont like about the blue car is instead of just filling the "indent", he also smoothed the top of the moulding (where it meets the body) and didnt leave the harsh edge, he tried to blend it, and it makes it look bulky to me.
