Beautiful. How did you mount the splitters/diffuser, with double-sided tape?

Thanks guys! I forgot how good it feels to peel the protective mask off a freshly painted body! :lol:

Ordinarily I would use double stick tape or shoe goo, but this time I actually used a hot glue gun on the low setting. You have to be careful or it can melt the lexan, but in some situations it's easier to get the parts into position and then glue them in place rather than sticking them on with tape and realizing its slightly out of position.

Really cool build! The attention to detail is amazing - right down to the ball stud dust covers!
