I would of molded mine, but my car is too low. I eventually would crack it. I'm currently DIY-ing my rear bumper. If I had a garage, I'd be painting it all myself.

nice work david
what parts are needed for molding it?
did you drop it lower and then mold it to make it even if you were to put on skirts since the lip and the skirts for AM wont line up
nice work, how much for all the parts to mold? and what all do you need? take lots of pics

97acura3.0cl....what does AM mean?! i just learned this stuff doing it......this is my first time molding anything....i used a product that was recommended to me by ross...rmstoico....and its working great! its around 20 bucks a can...i bought two, but i dont think i'll need more than one.....then im just using body filler to smooth everything out....im not doin any side skirts or anything else...so i just stuck it where it looked good......its not much lower than stock...it justs ticks out more....im happy with that considering my cars low enough.....stay tuned for more pics!

What type of product are you using?? Is it a plastic type product?? Most glass products bondo, duraglass ect will crack if flexed.
I'm very interested in the product you are using. Pm me and let me know.
