I guess the first thing to do is make molds of my existing parts to use as a template...
Does anyone know what kind of material I need (or will need) to do this? What's the cheapest practice material I can use to learn how to do this? Thin aluminum sheets? Foam boards? Paper mache? And where is best place for me to shop for fiberglass, carbon fiber sheets, etc? Just last week, I used bondo for the first time and it seems to me that with enough practice (and money), anyone could create their very own body kit out of these materials. -------------------- 2002 SC430 (WC) - 19" SSR Comp-H, Daizen swaybars, Sparco Demons, JDM Soarer conversion, carbon fiber spoiler, Injen intake, front strut bar, drilled/slotted Brembo rotors 1997 Celica ST (DD) - 17" ADR, ViS Zyclone CF hood, ViS CF hatch, K&N intake, Invader body kit |

No as long as you have everything drawn and plannned. I always say that when you go into a project or anything for that matter how you start will determine how you finish. And one thing with doing fiberglass it's like drawing a picture you have to see it finished before you even start other wise you have no general direction and can end up pissing in the wind.
