Homemade body kit
 
3 Attachment(s)
I thought I would post a few pics of the body kit I am working on. Basicly I put some 15" wheels on and they were rubbing so one thing lead to another. If anyone is interested I used styrofoam for the mold which I attached to the car and carved into the shape I wanted then coated it with epoxy fibreglass. I am sure there are those who won't apreciate what I have done but maybe some of you will. I will be ready for primer and paint soon so I'll post some finished pics.

It looks like you are spending your time on it and doing it to the best of your abilities, so that is really cool.

I used regular styfoam I scrounged some big chunks and got busy. The stock aluminum bumpers are there but I blew the oil out of the shocks and welded them about 3" closer to the car. The fenders are cut. Thanks for the feedback all this has turned into quite a project.
