John T is a friend of mine. I built my yellow fairing in an evening. I was going to make the bottom like his but didn't have enough material so I went with a ground effects type of design. It worked pretty well but it acted like a vacuum cleaner on the dust off the road. My lungs still protesting some today.

Zote wouldn't work well on a front fairing in an automotive application but it could be useful on trailing areas. It can be heat molded into 3D shapes.
