I've seen guys hand-fabricating body panels (and even entire bodies) and even if they have a buck to form the metal over, they'll use gauges to check that the shapes are smooth. I added a link to my previous post for a picture that shows what I'm talking about.
Yep, my pristine and meticulously maintained (came with 18 years of receipts, 9/10 body and interior, and the original tool kit) E36 325i had an engine failure three weeks after I bought it. I should have spent the money on my daily instead.
Can anyone speak to the quality of fiberglass bodykits vs carbon fiber? I’ve heard fiberglass cracks more, does anyone have first-hand experience….
From what I’ve seen, body kits aren’t exactly “replicas cars”... “Body kits” (I think of them as car shells or frames) seem to be more like toys for the car enthusiast that wants to create their dream BMW or exotic coupe.
Im new to cars and want to buy a 350z or some Mazda and doing a body kit and other upgrades how hard is it coming in as a new person?
Ask on a page dedicated to the car you've got. Generally you be better off there as not only will you get recommends about the different body kits, but best places to buy them too. Usual places like forums, Facebook normally have a page or two for your car.
I'm not a huge body kit fan. But swapping OEM sheetmetal is always cool. I swapped out the exterior cosmetics on my 85 Brougham for that of a 92. I like Hardbodies with Pathfinder fenders and mirrors. 2wd Toyota pickups with 4wd front ends. Silverado noses on Astro vans, even Escalade front ends on Astro vans.
