Mr. 973808 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Does anyone know how custom widebody kits are made? I'm not talkin about the ones you buy but actually build from scratch. Quote THE GRADUATE 10:18:2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. 973808 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 They just make bumpers bigger and wider lol I know that. But do you know the process and materials needed to do it? Like how do you make a fully custom (not oem styled) fiberglass/metal kit? Quote THE GRADUATE 10:18:2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
