Body Kits

On the subject of using the plastic that they use for reporte, if you are talking about the stuff that is similar in thickness as overhead projecter sheets, i think it could be used as a "carbon fiber" hood.

You could dremel out your hood, dremel a little bit of a grove on around the hole you just made, and then glue the new plastic in. this would probobly save a realitivly good amount of weight.

would this work?

the stuff that im thinnking about is about 5 times as thick as an overhead transparency. transparency paper is pretty thin. if you go to a kinkos or something like that they will have what im talking about. but i guess overhead transparency would work great too. it would just be super thin. and not very strong.

A good material to use for making body kits is that plastic on floppy disks.. that sliding thing lol you could use the metal one but i found a black plastic and it works well!

i know an way to make stuff lighter for body kits. it came up on accident. i was trying to take the paint of a clone body. i used nail polish remover. it lift stains though and i wanted to do interior paints. so i soaked it in the nail polish remover, but i forgot about it and when i remember it after 30 mins or so it was super messed. i thought about posing it but it came out weird. anyways it was super soft and moldable. any ways all i did was cut the part of a car that seemed straight and fit the body semi good. then i molded it to the car and make it look ok. then i harden it with a hair drier. it was still messed up because the plastic had melted some. anyway when it harded so it was like normal, i used a really fine sandpaper and i smoothed it out. then filled in the gaps with multiply light layers of superglue. so the pieces were really light because it was made of a stock plastic. anyways i fixed it up so it was smooth and fit the car then i uses supergule to stick it onto the body then painted it so it was nice.
