Aight heres the deal fella's ... the quwheels 12 piece wide body kit is on its way to my house! i am installing it myself because i am good with fitting fiberglass but heres the big question. I am using my oem front and rear urethane bumpers since thats whats recomended to use. Now, I am planning to mold everything to the panels and bumpers but what the hell should i use to mold everything? people said to use either fglass resin or metal filler but i dont think thats gonna work right. i need something to use on the bumpers that will bond to the urethane and not crack out when it flex's if it does flex. i am planning on just using pop rivets for godd strength to hold all the pieces in place then mold over top of the rivets. anyone have any advice on what i should to bond to the metal quarter panels and fenders and front and rear bumpers?! please help peeps! thanks in advance~

Well I had my rear 1/4 skirts(fibreglass) molded into my stock rear and I am pretty sure they didnt use anything special, just what they normally would to mold it to metal. I have no spiderwebbing or cracking or anything and its been there for a over a year. I even hit a curb one time and took a little chunk out of the fiberglass piece, but it didnt effect the bond one bit. Dont know if this helps or not, but good luck with the kit!

blending fiberglass to metal is not a hard thing, but you risk stress cracks at every moment you drive. a few tips:

1) drill several small holes in the metal (or urithane) at the bonding point. apply glass overlay to both the front and back sides. this will "glass rivet" it into place.

2) use a bonding adhesive on any areas of overlap.

this will keep strain off of the glassed over areas. use the bonding agent to secure the new pieces into place, and then glass over the top.

3) CLEAN EVERYTHING. grease and oils (from the skin or other sources) is the worst possible thing to have trapped between two bonding surfaces. scuff up all surfaces to which glass is being applied in a random fashion. remember...prep work is what makes it last.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

when they installed the rear quarter skirts on my ex-girlfriends probe they used some sort of cocking material to fill the seams, and then molded over it with fiber glass...
I don't know if that helps

okay so is this what i should do ....
after i line the piece up and mark it, put like some fiberglass gel (so it doesnt run like resin) on the back of the piece and stick it to body or bumper. then drill small holes and use pop rivets to hold them in place better. then after all that dries and what not, apply a thin layer of fiberglass resin across the seems, let it dry, then a small line of glue over that and sand it real smooth, then BAM, prime the biatch and paint it! sound good or correct me in any way please.

No man you got it a little off. Line up the kit and drill holes for your rivets. Take it back off, this will give you something to line it back up with. Then I would say use something like liquid nails on the surfaces that will touch. Kinda like glueing it to the metal. Put it back on and pop in your pop rivets. This will now have the two joined so they won't move. Then drill holes in the bumper and the peice you are molding to it along the seam they make.

Would look something like this:

Now when you put the resin on it will seep into these holes and have something to grab on to instead of just making it look smooth. Then sand, sand, sand and sand some more. When you think you are done sanding, hit it with a little primer to show the low spots. Add some filler and sand, sand, sand, and sand some more.

12 body kit will look cool with the integra decah homemade lambo hinges u make
