Streeto Bandito made the entire body of their 240Z by printing it in pieces, and then combining them to make the custom shapes. They then made a mold off those shapes and used the mold to make the carbon fiber parts. I'm copying that process for the splitter tunnels right now.....

Love the industry garage 280 builds. That's what gave me the idea for the diffuser.
