I was woundering how hard it is to mold a body kit. I think me and my buddy are going to try it on his car he used fiberglass before to fix some cracks.... Is fiberglass ok to use?

Agreed. Molding a kit on is great for a show car, but if you plan on driving it then I'd think twice about it. Shifts in weather (hot to cold, ect.) cause the metal of the car to expand and contract. Unfortunately, fiberglass doesn't flex so easily and will crack over time. If you plan on building a show car then go for it. Molded kits definetly score points with the judges. Fiberglass is what to use. But for a street ride... just put it on with epoxy and screws. Talk to 97Celica about it too, he put his on himself also.
