initially it was a type of foam yes.
i needed something i could sculpt easy and then cover in fibreglass.
I'm attempting to make a ED XR style boot lip spoiler.

rear bar is from a BA XR.

The size looks good, I don't know much about fibreglassing, so is it a matter of just sanding it back until the smoothness is there?

Third shot looks awesome, definitely a unique EF. Stay focussed on it, lol, lack of focus leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to laziness, laziness leads to an unfinished spoiler, an unfinished spoiler is the path to the dark side, and so on
