Molding Body Kit onto my car...

Postby dabigswoll » Sat Jul 10, 2004 9:44 pm

I was thinking about molding my body kit onto my car, but I dont know where to start. I think that i would need a heat gun and a lot of time, but Im not sure. What do yall guys think about even doing something like this?

I don't know what application your bumper is for but are you positive it will fit? And do you know what you have to do to make it fit? (I don't)

I don't have the TRD kit, I have the Black Widow kit. But, it is molded and it is very hard to take care of. One major thing to worry about is body flex. This causes stress between the body and kit and may cause cracks. Also, being lowered you'll have to be very careful not to scrape to much because you have no play. Every time you scrape the pressure may cause cracking. I love the molded look, but I didn't have much of a choice because the fiberglass kits don't fit perfectly. If your car is a daily driver, I'd suggest NOT molding the kit. Good luck on your descision.
