please help, i dont quite understand
in the how to make a bodykit thread when it says use a plastic card/ Styrene to make the shape you want what does this mean? to make a front bumper do you just apply some putty to the original front bumper on the car and just shape it with your hands? i dont see how u can shape much with a straight piece of plastic. i dont understand how you guys get such perfect looking body kits.

Re: please help, i dont quite understand
There're many useful ways of using a plastic sheet, and this is only one of them.
Look at a particular shape, and slice it up in your mind. You'll be able to divide a certain shape in sections, and that section view can be made with a piece of plastic. It works as a template for putty work, allowing you to achieve a completely symmetric shape for right and left side. You can have as many section cuts as you like. |

You shape it with sandpaper and blades. Not easy, but easier if you just used your hands.
