As you recall almost a month ago I started on the exhaust cut-out on the right side of the rear bumper. I wanted it to look like it came from the factory with the matching lip as well as shape as the factory single cut-out. Well, after more hours than I care to think about, I have it in primer ready for paint. This is something that nobody will even notice but I guess I will.

 

Very nice and clean... Well done Sir!!!
... And I would notice

 

Looks awesome! What did you use to cut the hole? I'd like to do the same to my LT bumper.

 

I used a 4" pneumatic cut-off wheel to rough it out and an air grinder to get the final shape. An LT bumper would be easier than an SS because it doesn't have the lower lip on it. It is a smooth radius. The trick part is using the 3M plastic bumper adhesive to stick the parts together

FabricatorsTip:
Go to Costco and get the 40 " x 40" cardboard that they put between the rolls of paper towels on the pallets. It makes great lay-out material. And its free.

 

very cool , I would notice this mod for sure but then again I am car crazy!!

This is completely off the table because its just not gonna happen but everyday I look across the garage and see a project car I have been building for about 8 years (that will most likely never be completed) and wonder what this 871 would look like on the V8 Panel. It would certainly take the car out of the "sleeper" category.

 

Very cool VW, finish it up later after your V8 HHR is finished

 

I have begun to post YouTube videos on the build. The first one isn't much but check it out

Cool, neat idea
