I’m working with Andrew from Aeroworks Performance to fabricate some body parts. He has extensive experience using 3D printing to create composite aero parts. Depending on the situation he either prints a female mold, a male buck or the actual part. He built a 3D printer with a 27” L x 13” W x 14” H print size and he’s planning one that’s capable of printing a splitter as a single piece. For now, he glues pieces together.
I want my first rodeo to be a small one so first up are the brake ducts and radiator outlet. The primary reason for enlarging the brake duct openings is to increase airflow to heat exchangers located on the left and right of the radiator while also feeding a brake duct. I also think that the modification improves the look of the car.
Kevin designed two shapes, angled and rounded, each with a narrow and wide variant. The narrow angled version (A1) is the same as what Allan has done on a bunch of cars. I’m still in negotiations with his licensing department, but so far he’s a tougher negotiator than Mesa… LOL.
IMO the angled versions are more aggressive and modern. The rounded version is less aggressive and more in keeping with the the curves found elsewhere on the car. Thoughts?
