Cardboard template is mostly done. It has a "Manta Ray" Stingray kinda shape that I like, though the main purpose was to adopt the radii of the tail light fixtures into the corners. You can see in the picks a mirroring-echo of the light fixture in the side plates of the spoiler immediately adjacent to them. No more time for this today. Work and home projects gotta take precedence while I wait for my jigsaw to cut the 3mm polymetal stuff.









EDIT: more like a Stingray:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
