#21454, "Home made body kits?"




          

I'm makin one emoji....hehe. Anyone know of a basic list of materials i will need? I have a lil list that i got off a sight but i would love to get actual products to use. I have my friends front and rear bumpers to help me make a mold. I got some ideas emoji I will also be doing a nifty tail light conversion.....i just have to see if it is legal.

Ya it is a LOT of work. Just buy it. The initial investment in materials i huge. You want your mold at least 3/4" thick, and you also need a special releasing agent. It won't even come out close to perfect no matter what, just buy it. Buy a fiberglass kit and modify it how you want it. Don't start from scratch, trust me.

im saying this in the honest to god nicest way possible.. but if you have to -ask- what materials you will need to create your own body kit, you shouldn't be attempting it..

if you want to try something pick up a front end kit from another car and try to mold it to your stock front end (like keep the top of one and the bottom of the other and join them)

what r u gana do by glassing the interior? If you are just gana cover everything in glass you can get the same effect buy sanding the interior with 40, 100, 200, 350 grit paper and some nice paint

Well....i guess i can let out my idea....top secret though emoji.....My friend is wicked into anime and is gonna be making a comic book this summer...I am having him draw a dragon for my back windshielsd and various other drawings...My idea is to have him draw on the interior pieces and then go over the drawing in a glue or something that will stick up. Then make a mold, or preferably use that piece as a mold. Then once the actual piece is created the drawing will be either recessed or popping off of the piece. And then I have a few evil ideas for the dash....but i can't let out all my ideas emoji

You should have that guy make a comic book in your car. So when a passenger gets in, (s)he can start reading your dash board and ish...that would be pimp as hell, lol.

The pictures are too far away from the items and i can't see the names of some of the stuff. I also have some pretty evil ideas for some neon
