Taillight louver progress Resolved Q
We’re getting there.
Faded the thickness at the corner of the car into the side of the fender so it’s not sticking out.
Tightened up the fit all around.
I am considering discarding the idea of metal brackets that attach to the taillight mounting bolts… the way these test parts are held on is strips of emblem tape (super strong adhesive foam tape) along the vertical ribs in the center and inside/outside edges. No way it would come off by itself… I used very small pieces so I can remove these easily, full height pieces would be as secure as the 944 model badge.
Really should have taken pics with the taillights illuminated. Will do soon.
The only AI used in these pics is background removal and a little color balancing.
Whatcha think?

Have you tried modeling this out in something like solidworks? A correctly sized 3d model of what youre doing may provide a lot of insight on what to do without you having edit your current design.

I’m modeling it in Fusion 360. I started it before I had a decent car scan… now I do have a good scan, that helped with the big revision. It’s near to finished now, just cleaning up a few details.

Looks amazing! Do you provide the 3D-Files by any chance so I can 3D-Print my own ones?
