Less finish work?
There's a lot to be said for CNC laser or water-jet cut sheet materials.

My mental game plan is to make a flat surface (or block, or whatever) that matches the form of my grille, and extend it into the exterior shape I want. Cut out what isn't needed, then shape it how I like.
This is my same thought for the rear wheel skirts. Scan it (car), make the perfect fit, and then extend it out and make it one nicely sized shape. My biggest issue is getting the perfect fit to the vehicle. I noticed clips that Darin ordered, and I'm not against that, but my biggest focus is learning how to make the pieces themselves, first.
