Well for a winter project me and a friend are gonna attempt to learn how to fiberglass. I have a front fascia from my camaro when it got wrecked and everything that is broke on it is what will be replaced so we are going to use that as a guide and atempt to replicate (sort of some changes are in mind) this kit. T.i.a.



Any pics from dfferent angles would be appericated and some pics of the sides and rear bumper too. Thanks

A Ferrari? I've never seen a Ferrari close to that. Sorry, but it reminds me of a Civic. I thank God it's not sold here.

By the way dude, if you haven't ever done any glass work before then I would not recommend that you and a buddy try to make this thing in your garage. There is alot of time and effort involved, especially in something like that. You would be better off to find out where you can get it and buy it. you would save much more time and sanity by doing it this way. Just some friendly advice.

Wrong kit... that is the Stella / Vizage Kit... he is looking for the BSM kit, there are several photos on my page (NOT MY CAR):

Yea I know it'd be alot easier and less time consuming but I've only heard of 1 kit that has even been for sale in the us. and it was waaayyyy to much for me to actually think of buying it. I'd definatly be putting it into the engine b/4 a bodykit. However if I can atleast get some practice working with fiberglass before I attempt to build a sub box (the real reason I want to learn how to fiberglass.) Then it will just look 100x better than attempting one without any practice. Btw it really shouldn't be that hard since on the bumper we are testing on, almost everythng that would give us a challange is aready there (i.e. eveything above that grove + turn signal area) so I dont think it wil be that hard. All we can do is try it. If it gets screwed up oh well atleast we tried it.

You do not want to fiberglass Urethane onto ABS plastic. You will want to use Industrial Epoxy Resin. Ask around at body shops, fiberglass is not the way to go... for what it's worth I have photos of my fully molded bodykit on my webpage.. check my sig.

Hey,
If you want a fighting chance at something like this here's what I would do. Get ahold of rthe stock part you want to mod. Get maybe some plasticine modeling clay or any type of modeling clay and build it up how you want it, AS SMOOTHE AS POSSIBLE, then make a mold out of plaster or else rubber first then plaster. You will have way more control and a better chance working a mold than trying to glob stuff onto a part. Once you have the mold you work backwards, clear/gel/smoothe coat first, then layers of whatever you decide to use. If the first one poops on you because it's not strong where it needs to be, you can reenforce the next one with almost anything. All you'll be out is the materials as you'll still have the mold if you remembered to lay down some sort of release.

No, you want to check with local auto body shops.... check where they get their stuff. Remember you have to compromise between flexibility, strength, drying time, etc...

Also PLEASE keep in mind this stuff is TOXIC.

Prices: You want to buy it in bulk.. not ounces... that's the best advice I can give you..

I filled in my headlight corner part with fiberglass. It kinda resembles the headlight look in some of the pictures posted above. Here is a link, my car is the red 94 Z28:
