Ive been reading alot on termpro forums about fabrication..
there is a guy on there making full body kits... and they are nuts. Insanly awesome kits...
He gives a step by step tutorial with pics....
It's tempting to try..
He masks off the area to work with, with masking tape.. then sprays regular home use foam on the area and builds it up getting the general shape he wants. Then uses woodworking tools to get the more defined shape that he wants... then lays fiberglass over it.. sands and paints.. its very time consuming...

And very tempting to try a lip for my front...
fiberglass is pretty fun and easy... I fiberglassed a lcd into my visor and then covered it with cloth..
I dunno.. the house is mine this weekend.. i may try a front lip..
any ideas or comments?
Any Ideas to shoot for?

yea, ive seen that process done before. from watching people do it, i think the hardest part is getting things to be even. if one end looks longer than the other, then the final product will look uneven. thats what i think is the most time consuming part.

Yeah.. i agree.. its going to take some time and a lot of work.

Anyone have any pics or some ideas of a lip to shoot for?
