Actually,it's been really upsetting to me to 'hear' members slamming the likes of bondo's and BamZipPow's works-in-progress for aesthetic reasons.
Any fabricator would know that you don't freeze the design and transition to the great expense of an OEM-looking project until it's passed muster with the engineering criteria. All stones tuned over.
Test mules are going to 'look' like test mules.The beauty is in the performance.
