Re: Do it ur-self Bodykit??
You could do it in yer house. Just take off the bumpers or get some from a junk yard and put down a painters tarp and work on it there.

Re: Do it ur-self Bodykit??
Never worked with it before. But I figured it's a pretty strong smell.
How do you put the fiberglass on? What do I need to do to work with it? 'Cus I have no idea what I'm doing. |

[quote=GTR...GTR...GTR]Never worked with it before. But I figured it's a pretty strong smell....
QUOTE] Its easy.... just have to cover the surface that u whant to cover then put the fiberglass on and cover the fiberglass with glue again and put on a nother layer....us some kind of brush to put the glue but dont make a much glue caz it hardens quickly if its warm.....i had some kind of rolling thing that i used to get the air out of the layer.....but u only need it when u are using separate fiberglasses......when u cover the shape ur making the only thing u have to do is to make sure that it stays like that.......sometimes it can come loose and ruin the thing.

Re: Do it ur-self Bodykit??
What kind of foam are you using? Is it the kind with the little cells? Doesn't it just rip apart?

Re: Do it ur-self Bodykit??
Kinda off topic, but i have heard that the DIY lambo door kit at lambodoors.com is a great and cheap way to put lambo doors on your car, but i was wondering if anyone has tried it and if so what all kind of work goes into it? Is it more work than it's worth? Or is it farely easy for what you get and the money u save? Thx

Re: Do it ur-self Bodykit??
Pretty much from what I've heard it's a real bitch to DIY unless you've got a background in welding

Re: Do it ur-self Bodykit??
definatly try home depot, they have insulation foam that comes in long sheets, something like 2'x8'. Maybe not that long, but they will have, ass for the thicknss, just glue pieces together.
