molded body kit [what is "molded"?]

[rha2506]

Hey I hear of ppl sayin it looks better if you mold your body kit . I was just wonder what exactly that means .Is there another way to put them on ? this might seem like a stupid question but gotta learn somehow . Anyone know any info. feel free to reply.

I think it's when you mold it so it looks like your kit is a part of your car, instead of just some add on pieces.

yeah pretty much what he said it means you fiberglass or whatever you prefer your body kit to the body of your car so there are no body lines everything is smooth and flows along with everything else...

you attach the kit to the car. I use pop rivets for this. Then use either fiberglass and layer it in to get it "bonded" to the metal, or use dynaglass to fill in the area. Then once the are is realitivly smooth then use a normal filler to smooth it completely. It just takes the lines out where it attached. Looks like it's part of the car. Check the pic. This is my car. I molded the skirts in and added the little peice on the door.

Molded = Seamless

dont forget though.. when molded make sure you get that strechy paint shit and filler... otherwise a year or so down the road it will start to crack and youll have to re-do it alllll over. that is if you have a daily driver. but if you do it right, even if its a DD, it should be fine oh if you have a "show car" and/or yor car is SLAMMED. do not mold the front bumper.. my friend has a civic SLAMMED with molded kit and wanted to take it to a show on a trailor , he already paid a50 entrance fee and was abot to leave, rented a trunk and well. couldnt get the shit on the trailer, the front bumper wouldve ripped off and more the likely the back rippped off as well. he didnt get his money back and learn a vauble lesson
