I need some help from you more experianced modelers. I need to know what product i should use to mold some body kits onto my supra and integra. If you have any tips for doing it or making it look better, those would be greatly appreciated! thanks.

do you have a body kit? If not, you can make one out of styrene (sp?)sheets and some putty. Kinda like what I'm doing now

To make a master part, use epoxy putty or polyester putty.
Tamiya Epoxy putty or Milliput are popular brands.
Tamiya also has polyester putty, but Bondo's automotive body filler is basically the same kind.
Epoxy putty is easy to use when adding a volume to the body, because it's like clay. Polyester putty is paste-like, and it's better using a guide or template to form a desired shape. Template can be made with a piece of plastic sheet. To make a "mold" to duplicate parts, here is a useful link.
