  Kurt-

    We went with the front/back half method because it did seem like it would be faster to complete.  Kevin Steiner did the alternate method and said it took some time but you know by now that it all takes time no matter what you do.  I personally don't see a difference in the lines the wheel pants, they are just HUGE either way you look at it.  We permanently attached the wheel pant to leg fairing to the wheel pant and split it so it comes off with each half, so that looks a little better.

  My wheel pants are basically finished except for deciding which style to have. Is there any input on whether to have the main pants like example 1 (two halves) or the "alternate method" (the main body with all the fasteners on the inside wheel cutout). 

  It looks like the alternative method would look cleaner and have better lines, while the 2-half method would sure save time. 

  Opinions appreciated!
