Molding Body Kit onto my car...

[dabigswoll]

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)

Oh I thought you were talking about retrofitting a bumper. Sorry.

wow i thought about this until i noticed the rear bumper does not go all the way across its not a DIY you need to bondo it or kittyhair it its a big process and after all that you need to repaint the whole car and if you are lowered and you hit a dip n crack it then your sol its gonna look like crap
Astro has his molded i like the molded look but its hard to maintain

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.
