i want to fill in the left exhaust side, since its not a dual car.(whoever made a dual exhaust kit for a 4th gen accord is a complete idiot) and i also want to fill in the pair of holes on the sides of the radiator.
thanks.

well - Theres been a thread for a while now going around about how to make your own body kit. I'd use the same technique for fillin them holes in :
1) Get styrofoam, shape it so it fits the holes and exhaust cut out
2) get contact cement on the foam, then add foil over it so its all covered w/ foil
3) Let it dry completely.. if not sure if its dry, just let it sit bout hour.
4) Contact cement the sides of pieces your placing in the holes and exhaust cut out, then slide them inside the holes
5) let it dry..
6) Get Fiber Glass and Resin, mix em' together, and apply about 5 layers over the peices in the holes you made, and about 3-4 inches on to the actual bumper.
7) let it dry, hair dryer will help it dry faster.
8) sand it down so its perfectly smooth w/ bumper
9) primer spray it, then sand again if its not completely flush w/bumper
10) then the peice should be in, fiberglassed, and dry, NOW paint it
11) then add your clear coat
Everything but the contact cement and hair dryer :rolleyes: should be at yer local AUTOZONE -or- ADVANCED AUTO PARTS.
Good luck if u try this.. not too hard, just patience ! ;)
