.
The first was delivered in September of 2014 as a 2015 model .... but production was slow in the beginning and did not really get rolling until early Spring of 2015 .....

What say me harleyu..LOL Well deep subject MiM . But from all my changes in body they sometimes look good from one view and another view what the hell is that.LOL
It is hard with this SS front end to make it look decent with changes to front and then side view looks like a add on with no thought.
Even with my new design and I am sticking with it now, but trying to find balance in looks and air flow is hard to balance.
But looking at some designs they have add on look but nothing authentic in design of real changes to Slingshot .
But I am a novice in fiberglas work and it is just my personal fight in myself that I do not want or like the Slingshot body as it is.
And I kick myself a lot for not leaving anything I own stock alone.
I think the front view of Road Race design is to enclosed looking and if you were to see it from the side it would probably look like I said add on or have non finish look side view.
I could after I am done this year try and mock up a enclosed front and side and see what I come up with..
My only problem is being novice is making more than one....I showed someone my 2X4 front fender molds for left and right and they laughed and said no way.. Real crude but what I know ..LOL
But I had front end almost made looking similar to VW 3 wheel design but the size and frame design just kept me from completing and front looked ok but then side view got in way.
That is when I decided to keep SS look and cut fenders on top way down in size and add front fenders covering tires and continue smoothing out side view to take those so called plastic mud flaps
that just grab air and kill mileage.So will see in 2018 if I redesign SS ...Wish I had another SS ..LOL

So does anyone have an idea how many Slingshots are in U.S . or total production numbers ???
I really do not see whole to here in travels of NJ.
And driving SS from NJ to Maggie Valley never saw another until I woke up next morning and had to be 200 .
Yes driving in I saw some but the next day yikes.. was like termites .. -

yeah, to date I've never had a random Sling to Sling encounter that wasn't a planned meetup of some sort... -
There might be 7-10 in the whole state of Vermont

I think that's too big for most 3D printers.................

metope
?
In classical architecture, a metope (μετόπη) is a rectangular architectural element that fills the space between two triglyphs in a Doric frieze, which is a decorative band of alternating triglyphs and metopes above the architrave of a building of the Doric order. -
Another look for the front being offered by Madstad... Thoughts?

Looks like something to compare against the Voodoo Fab design? @jorgebri60?

Interesting but not for me

More angles and views...

I thought it was in R&D, soon to be released. Here is another variation,

they're angled back too much.

Not a look I like. But each to their own choice of style. However over the years I have learned to like some style features that initially I didn’t like. Next week I might like the new front!!

Love the Red and Black one. If they need someone to test it out in the heat of Forida, I'd be glad to help them with one for the 2015 SL Red.

IMHO there is a limited market for this mod. I wouldn’t bet my farm it’s sustained success. But to each his own.

Yep it’s still in R&D

Mmmmm, doesn’t talk to me . On the other hand, @VooDoo Fabs caught my eye immediately. Perhaps because of how it matches my roof. Don’t know but I still love the look I got when I put the voodoo on. Still, like @harleyujoe says, if someone can develop a front end body kit that helps with airflow and is not god awful, it would be something to consider. For now, I’m headed down the same route several have, remove the giant mud flaps, and putting fenders on the wheels. Let’s see where we go from there. You never know .
