I am debating on whether or not it is worth it to get my aspec kit molded to my front and rear bumpers. I don't really like the look of an "add on," and I think it would give a much cleaner overall look. Anyone have any input? Has anyone done this before with the aspec kit?

I was thinking the same thing, but I know it would cost alot....and plus, if I mess up the front then Im fucked

I would advise against that, the bondo will crack at the joint just from minor flexing and then it will look way worse than the add on look

Not worth it if you frequently removing the bumpers for any reason.
It will leaves crack marks.

Arent the Aspec kits urethane? if so i dont believe you can mold urethane... Most cars I have seen mold fiberglass body kits to metal components example molding a fiberglass front end to a metal or fiberglass fender or molding a fiberglass rear bumper to metal rear qtr panels.... urethane flexes with temperature changes and will begin to crack out as soon as the seasons change...

not worth it.
i saw a one in NYC with the WW kit molded and it showed a lot of flaws

You guys really think it would crack?....Shit, I was kind of set on doing this.
I mean, I'd be having the work done by a very good shop, rite now I am waiting on a quote for the same place that did work on this guy's 360... http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=300608

Ya Hubert's 360 is tight. Well if you have the money and a reputable place then ya...do it. But you have to know Hubert's 360's kit are not molded. Unless your car is just for show then ya do it. But for daily driving...I dunno. I see a few show cars here at my friend shop and did flare out fender molded to the bumpers, look flawless from far away but up close you can see some imperfections, give and take they only drive it from the shows or have it trailered.

U-Pol makes a product that you can do this with. I think it was their PLAST-X line, or fibral. I had it done on my old CL, looks sick when done correctly. i would love to have it done to my TL, but it would be too expensive.
