I finally decided to fabricate a F/E. It's quite simple, bought a strip of 1" x 2' aluminum and cut and bent it to shape, drilled four holes, painted and done. Along with this project I installed an integrated turn signal.

Tell me what y'all think. Do you like the plate angle?

Looks good. I've always preffered DIY makes everything so much more fun. And its very rare that you will run into someone else with the exact same look...

 

Looks good man!! If it wasnt for DIY there would be alot of wasted money!! good job!!

 

Looks sharp bro, ensure you post a picture when it's all put back together.

 

Nice -- the tag angle is difinitely unique. Can't wait to see it with the tail section back on.

 

Here's the finished look. The black paint makes it stand out too much, should have left it unpainted. The bracket angle is too steep, in the future I'll make a new F/E and bolt it on to the lower bolt holes.

I also took this time to add reflective pinstriping to the tail. You like?

Yo, I think it looks pretty good. But I'm trying to picture it without the heatshield. I'm thinking that might help you out just a bit.

 

I wouldn't with the stock exhaust...way too hot

 

I'm thinking about painting the heat shield black. I haven't quite figured how to remove it though.

 

looks good! maybe you should make some more and sell them on ebay.
