thanks unstble.
alright, i'm gonna get kinda technical and explain my canard construction because i havent taken any pics yet. The first side that i did.... which i said would be the "top" side was wrong. That will actually be the bottom. I need a smooth surface to be able to fabricate the mounting brackets to. The "bottom" side which I started this evening is a little rough. Now I'm making these out of fiberglass to see how they come out. If they look good and i get good responce from them both street wise and from people actually thinking their cool.... i start to do them with Carbon Fiber.
The side I'm working on now needs about 3 more layers of glass before i can sand it smooth and shape it to the bumper.... then make an identical for the passenger side and start to fabricate the mounting brackets. Which shouldn't be that hard. I saw some really nice "L" shaped aluminum at the hardware store that looks like it will work pretty damn good.
Let me know if you guys are interested and i'll post some pics after i get all the fine sanding done.

I hate being a noob. I was the guy w/ the yellow S2k. I swear I have a STi. Also a Forester too if that matters. Those of you that I met, it was nice meeting you, sorry I didn't get any names. I live in So Cal, but drive to SF about once a month for work so I'll try and stop by again. Also, thanks for the directions to get to the 880. Sorry I wasn't more friendly, but I had just driven 7 hours and still had 8 hrs of work ahead of me.

Newb here, with a WRX that has been chipped to hell from parrallel parkers in the city. I hope I won't be judged harshly for my car's hideous bumpers! 
I'll def. try to come down tomorrow.

Man my hood and front bumper look like they went through a snow storm when you look at my paint out in the sun... white specs from rock chips everywhere!!
