just curious... did you find any mold info online? i've worked with fiberglass before and its not hard at all... but making a mold for a kit and how it's made step by step i've always been curious about...

Boogie ..

I work a lot with radio controlled gliders .cutting blue foam with hot wires ..This is going to take a lot more time ..and bigger cutters ...I can probably design the stencil on CAD and plot them here at the office. Then go home slap some blue foam together ..and build a mold. It would be good to make a mold out of wood ..then I can probably reuse it to make another for yas..hmmm but I'm going to make one first ..and see if its any good. Wish me luck

b-bOOgie...i see you have been busy again with photo's

nice posts b-b00gie...again
btw, we still havent seen pics of your car!! hehe
anyway, your question about fiberglass molds...don't knwo if you guys heard of Aero Duo, but they make tons of knockoff kits...like veilside, combat kits for all these different cars. I know the previous owner pretty well and he told me a little bit about how to make your own fiberglass kits...(full bumper kits)
first, you need to get some sorta machinery that are able to make molds of the bumpers and side skirt...then, you have to sacrifice your own bumper (or buy a new one) and cut it in half where you keep the top half and design your own style on the bottom and then put it together and put the half-stock/half-custom bumper in the mold making machine. In case your're wondering about why you have to cut the stock bumper...you do so to insure fitment...the top half your stock bumper will line up with your car perfectly. the mold making machine will cost lots of money...i think he told me around $60,000??? anyway, after you have the mold, u can just lay fiberglass in it and, viola, a kit is born!!!

Hey Luke thanks for volenteering! When can do you get the machine installed?

So everyone what kind of kit should Luke make for us first? I expect he'll keep the cost down to about $300US a front kit!

[b-b00gie]

hmm... $60,000? ...where do you get one of these machines, or more info? i've been wanting to start a business and I know a few very good fiberglassers that work at car audio places.... we've actually talked about this idea before. They can make anything custom but making kits they were scratching there heads about how to do it time and cost effectively....

Jason...wait...uggghhh.....ahhh...oohhhh....OK, i just yanked out $60,000 out of my ass...now who wants which kit?????

[b-b00gie]

c'mon Luke, gimme my answers lol.... I dont call you "Answer Man" for nothing

[G22DET]

b00gie, i know just the person to ask about getting the molding machine and more info on it....let me get back to you later on today...OK!!?!?!?!?
oh, i read your post about how if we get in a fender bender during a race....that's a very good question, so far, i have never seen anyone actually got in an accident....well, at least not collision type of accident....people blow their engine left and right though....hahhaha...a bit of exaggeration....
if i get my impul kit, no way in hell i am gonna race with that precious baby on hahaha...i'll probably put on my stock front bumper when i go.

btw. if you're going to get twin headlights make sure you get the ones from a non jdm or uk primera. the angle of the beams will be on the wrong side.

[b-b00gie]

They only make them in Japan... so i'll have to deal with that...
