so i am making my own body kit
some of you know, i have been talking about re painting my car, well i think i am going to be starting here pretty soon.
I can not find a body kit for my car at a decent price, so i say, make one.
I have found a lot of helpful tutorials on how to do it.
I drew out a sketch today. tell me what you think. I suck at drawing so yeah.

Re: so i am making my own body kit
i can see it... i think you're on to something good there.
are you gonna be doing all the fibreglassing yourself? get some good practice before you start doin it for real.

Re: so i am making my own body kit
yeah. i am doing everything, my scanner wasn't that great, so i had to tweak some adjustments to make it visible. my bad, yeah i know some stuff about fiberglass. i was in the process of fiber-glassing my trunk, but i pulled it all out, because i just decided to buy a sub box and stuff.
Re: so i am making my own body kit
the front looks weird... i thought it was the rear bumper at first
it would look better as a rear bar IMHO lol with centre exit exhausts
for the front bar try and modify the original... i think it still needs a "mouth"

Re: so i am making my own body kit
yeah my friends thought it was the rear too. the two circles are my fog lights. I was actually re drawing it today, the rear, and i re did it with a center exhaust, kind of like a Porche. anyone know of a good looking front bumper?? that isnt to busy to the eyes?? looking to make something simple.

Re: so i am making my own body kit
nope. a week. tops. wont be that hard. will be working on the design for about a month, then building it in my car. not putting it on my car till summer though. when i paint my car.
Re: so i am making my own body kit
lol not to rain on your parade but there is no way you can build all that in a week and it be quality, fiberglass has a cure time and you have to layer it, sanding....so much more involved....but good look.sheepdizildawg wrote:nope. a week. tops. wont be that hard. will be working on the design for about a month, then building it in my car. not putting it on my car till summer though. when i paint my car.
