It's going to look a little funky when it is laid flat as it runs on an angle.  It is more of a heat shield for the body panel as you can see the exhaust tips inside of the outer.  Could be scaled out for you if I had one correct measurement.  Jim

I also wouldn't worry too much about the stamp or the bracket, since all builds are different they will require different mounting options.  Looks like it will be a well made piece, definitely interested in seeing it finished.

I wouldn't bother with the stamp on a part like this where it isn't easily seen but that is just me. Interested to see the final result.
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Kinda what I wanted to hear, I thought the right one looked better myself! Round 2 of questions, is it worth the time and money to add the appropriate part # tag similar to the one below, or  leave it off? I can have a stamp made (and do have a quote) but it's costly, I'll do it if people feel it's necessary!

And lastly should I have a hanger bracket like in the one pictured, or just make a way to weld the tip to  the exhaust pipe? Note: It's probably gonna be a little heavy!

I'm doing a little work trying to replicate the LP640 Exhaust tip. I am a little picky and no matter what I do I can't seem to come up with anything that makes me happy. With that said I've spent way to much time trying to figure out how to make these things look right. I've decided to move forward with one of the two lips I have bent up below. I'm curious which one is a better representation of the actual shape. I'm asking for your honest opinions, either Left, Right, or GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD YOU HACK!!!  ::tongue I'm hoping I can get some feedback so I can start on the sheet metal portion of these!

Thanks in advance!!!

I so badly want an OEM steering wheel but they are so spendy! If I can't find a good alternative in the end that is more than likely what I'll end up getting!

i have a complete OEM ( non-e-gear) steering column with all levers and switches etc, to be mated to a gallardo steering wheel.
or if i can find an OEM 6.2 wheel that would be my preference.

Put her together, fits LIKE A GLOVE!!! After a little tweaking of course, curious what others are doing for steering wheels???

Its all good,  for mine i am going to fabricate (under the engine) 180 degree headers, feeding 2 cats (meow) exit the collectors, then cross over either side above the transaxle with the cats, post of those, will both connect together for equalization,then leaving as 4 individual sends, 2 into Gallardo mufflers (when they arrive) exiting the rear with the bypass valves also connected to the extra 2 sends (before the muffler) with a vacuum control on the bypass. and the whole mess into the final collector/combiner out the tail pipe.
maybe i should draw a picture..... ::tongue

Please do! I'd love to see your thinking on paper!
