Well it all depends on how much $$$ your planning on spending... also another thing that is important is would you perfer more show than go? is it for cruzin or for racin... customizing anycar has to be really thought out... I know that just planning what I want to do with my Mazda MX-3 has been alot, well also because finding parts is really difficult.. lol . but one thing to consider, when moddifying your car body wise, try to stick with the lines it comes with... like if your car is more rounded but a rounder designed body kit, if more angular follow suit. for a Neon either angular or curved works, seen both on it, actually I've seen only 2 really sweet Neons... but if it's a 2dr then go angular, if 4dr go curved... that's how the ones I saw were set up.. they looked sweet.

I am basicly a kid but I want to be a car designer and open my own car costumizing business, and one of the tips a ford car designer guy told me is to make things that you see most on car shows, so if you see a lot of people with wings-west body kits than you soould become their dealler (the body kit brand). I hope this will help you in the future.

If it is fiberglassing you want to do, expect to spend a lot on mistakes.
We have been in business since Oct last year and have about $2000 in wasted stuff. However, we are getting the hang of it. Listen to anybody and everybody who can give you hints and tips. Don't listen to the people who say you can't do it. Do up your own car first so people can see your work. Every car that we have made kits for that has entered shows has won trophies. My partner and I have been doing it for almost a year now and have not got a paycheck yet. Every cent goes back into the company. It's long, it's hard and it feels great to see a car with your kit on it win. We do everything from selling WingsWest, Blitz and stuff to our own handmade one of a kind kits. It is very satisfying if you can stay with it. Check out our site Good Luck!

A good tip
A good tip would be to see if your local dealership used car department or even new car departments would like to use you to do aftermarket modifications for them. That will help you generate income to start your business.
If your around Texas, dealerships like jeep and volkswagens tend to do losts of aftermarket modifications to their cars. Even Honda dealerships do as well. It's a good and very profitable business to get into... Good luck Sincerly, Mike N www.carslots.com |
