I hope noone beats me up for this but.. what are styrene sheets?

Well, most hobby shops sell them in their model railroad section (sometimes). The models you build are made out of styrene plastic, styrene sheets are flat peices of this plastic..usually in 6"x10" sheets or various thickness...almost paper thin to 3mm or so. Most sheets are plain and some have patterns, or lines, molded onto them for scratch building various things like fences and corrugated steel roofs and walls.

Two companies that come to mind that make this stuff are Evergreen and Tamiya.

Cool, alright, when can I use them if I am building a bodykit?

when?? anytime after you buy it, there is no preperation necessary for styrene, its ready to be used OOTB.

I think he means in what part of the body kit making process. For that question, I'm not sure. I've not made any body kits yet.
