What color are you going to paint the bug? Mine is currently white, and I think I'll be building an "airdam" that is offset back from the front lower edge of the fender. If it is painted black or is CF, then it will almost not be visible against a light colored car. If you want to play around, get some blue board foam insulation, some spray glue, and a few body work files, a knife and some course sandpaper. Make a few large blocks that will fill the space your thinking of building something into by gluing pieces together. Then you'll be able to easily sand and carve the foam to a shape you like. Do one side first, then make templates to carry the shape to the other side. Once your done, give it many coats of LATEX paint. Any oil based paint will ruin the foam. Do some test patches to make sure you're OK, then spread on a thin coat of body filler. Do some more sanding and shaping, then you can copy that shape in fiber glass. Now you have a plug. Then you can copy that shape BACK to fiberglass or CF or whatever. LOTS OF WORK! But if you've got everything else done, why not!!!
