is fabricating fiberglass hard? i was thinking that instead of buying body kits for hundreds of $$ i could make my own, if you know please fill me in thanks. also would it be easy to repair? thanks.

um, its hella hard and looks hella crappy unless you have molds and stuff, plus fitment would be a pain

thanks for letting my hopes down! jk.

sorry

you could probably do it by just buying some jdm kits and use a lost wax style molding system and just copy those ones, its the custom fabrication of origional designs that is really hard to do. If you copy some jdm kits and get good at it, i'd be the first to buy

The only thing about working with fibreglass is that is very time consuming and *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* doing a body kit fudge that, that would take too long when you get to the end you are going to get pissed and brake it lol, but for other things is not hard like light convertions and custom interiours, by the way if you live in the us I can get you jdm parts from crashed drifters here in japan.

actually its pretty easy... but it takes time wich would most likely piss you off. go for it if you want. its nice to see custom body kits.
