depends, if u need to remove your bumper you'll have one heck of a time doing it

[madmods]

yes

fiberglass reinforced body filler
sand paper lots of time
and lightweight body filler for the very very end buy a gallon
the fiberglass kind either long strand (guerilla hair) of the short strand

is this the only things i need to do it...am i messin anything???

dont forget that wile modling in body peaces may look cool, its very easy to crack the molds, even if you do a good job, parts like the bumper are not molded from stock because they need to be able to flex to releave pressure, and not dent/crack.

I'm not gana mold my kit on when I put it on simply because I think it looks just fine as it is, and if I hit something, even just a bump in the road it would couase more damage if it could not flex.

in my opinion i like the body lines so i wouldn't mold it. plus if you get hit you will have a hell of a time taking it off. i think it will look better with outmolding, but all in same that's my opinion.

I like the look of the molded better, but would never do it. sence i have owned my car, it has been backed into at least 8 times that i know of. Keep in mind if some one just bumps it, it might crack and screw up your paint. I would only do it if it were like an only show car or somthing.

mold, mold, mold. The only other thing I can think of is a long board sander, we use paint sticks(they work good and the cheese grater to knock down the filler before it hardens. As far as cracking goes, After you mold, jack up the car and put kitty hair from behind. My kit has cracked, due to major rubbing when I get off driveways. My car is too low, but I like it that way.

the back is fine. if someone hits you from the back they have to pay for it anyways so do it. and it still has the same body lines but without the gaps.

if its intalled right there should not be any gaps, just a nice fine line
