Well, i thought it was kinda easy for my first shot at it...
  Since i really didn't know what i wanted to do, i made that big flat side skirt, i then used a mechanical pencil and i drew out some designs on it. After i found something i was happy with i took one of my (three) dremels and put on a sanding bit, not a one of those disc(cut off) bits, it uses sandpaper...and i used that to sand it down to what i wanted, very quick, very easy and i proceeded to do the same on the other side, the only hard part was to get both sides similar. Oh, the whole thing is epoxy putty, no styrene. Nika

Yes, you can get it at places like Home Depot, i happen to work at a hardware store myself and that's where i got mine, it's called "PC Marine Putty" or something similar to that, that have a couple of different types(i think)...that or they are just different colors, the one i got dries white, others will dry other colors. However, i'm not sure if there is a large difference between epoxy PASTE and epoxy PUTTY, they'll have both, the one got was PUTTY, so make sure you watch out for that. You may also want to try and call them before you go out there though.

Newest update!!!
Welp, i decided how i was going to paint it and then i went at it...   But i still need to gloss it over since i used flat paints when i airbrushed it, i find they spray much easier... And i've yet to deside on rims for it... i like the front chromes, but i don't like chrome too much. I was thinking about painting it white...or keep the back ones OR paint the back ones white  Input would be great.. Thanks. Nika

I think the front chrome ones look the best on it.

That looks pretty wild! Interesting approach with the paint but hey, why not?
 Front wheels suit it better and give it a more aggressive look.

I painted the stock (black) wheels white, if you search the history for "Update pics of ITR" or somthing like that, you should find it. I woulld post pics now, but I got rid of the white wheels (too small) and bought aftermarket ones.

Wow, I really like how it looks, especially the paint scheme... I really like the 2 shades of grey!! I think you should go with the back wheels and paint them white!!
