i am considering molding my rear bumper of my kit. i have never worked with fiberglass and wanted to know how hard it is and is it worth it. i have heard that the mold can crack when being tapped in the parking lot or even weaken with the canging weather conditions. i guess my question is, is it worth it when i am going to get a paintjob/how easy does it crack/how to repair if cracked?
Thanks for any feedback possible |

my bumper was molded by a professional and let me tell you, if you dont know exactly what your doing, DONT do it. Its ALOT of work to get it smoothed out and flush with the body of the car. As far as cracking and or weakening, i havent experienced any of that....
