No, it's not easy. And the glue dots stick pretty good. The metal on the boot skin is relatively soft too. So you have to be carefull.
If you just want to cut the middle of the frame out, that's not too hard.

Reckon mine would be easy to remove if you want to make a mold.

Don't know what style you have. I would prefer to do one that has a rounded front to let air out from the front wheel well, and block a bit of the air hitting the back wheel.

I'd be happy to bring my NC race car down if you want to do a NC version.

Thanks for that info (as I'm looking at bonnet venting).

Wait till I finish this one before making an NC one.

Can't say I like the spoiler, would look better with a wing.

I don't want a wing on a road car. Might get unwanted attention.

whats your opinion on the duck tail?

have been thinking about getting one for a while.

Will find out how it performs in a couple of weeks.

Didn't get as much done today as I hoped. Cars... Always some drama.

The clutch and flywheel are on, diff is in, extractors are on, brake lines, etc.
