Don't know if this helps but Porsche aftermarket has done some pretty creative side grills -for the later model boxsters and caymans .Ypu might pick up an idea or two from Google image search .Sometimes accentuate better than a pure blend .

Re: FrankenFerrari - V12 ferrari 308 part 4

I think this is ready to print a test part once my printer operator gets home. CAD it not my first love so it took me longer than it should have but I did eventually figure out how to make the curves go the way I wanted (I should probably fix my mirror caps now) , I hollowed it out to make it light and it streamlines the filter face for reduced drag and increased flow to the filter so its a race part. Back to real work

After I was done screwing around with the filter cover I made a template and cut the passenger side to match the driver side

Then rough out the foam and filled the holes

then started the duct for the drivers side. I kind of mitered the pieces then used construction adhesive

The shape will need to start changing now to get around the fuel filler neck and not hit the tire..you can see the green foam trying to find a path through all the wires.

The shape is not quite right but it seems to help I think

Progress! How will water get out of there if you ever drive it in the rain? Any news on the transmission gearing?

They should feel about the same up to about 4000....my memory must be fading as the new just seemed much faster than I remembered. The old motor gets to 4k and says "alright, Imma head out" - the new motor's like "WHAAAAT??? I just did a giant line of coke!"

I pulled the duct out and now fully understand why I was having such a hard time mittering pieces.......this will require some redesign

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I saw a technique where a builder made a tube out of a kind of modelling wax, and molded it into shape with his hands bit by bit, using a hair dryer or a heat gun on a low setting to soften the wax enough to make it shapeable. After finalizing the shape that way, he laid up carbon over the wax, let it cure, then softened the wax again to remove it. It's called "sheet wax" and can be ordered from sculpture supply stores.

That's kind of cool. I was planning to pour acetone into the final part to melt the foam, but that won't work on the spray foam I don't think so not sure how to handle it now exactly
