Really this is something you just have to read and then dive into.

Join up on the fiberglass forums and read read read. Then work on your kit.

One tip ive learnt with fiberglass body kits...

BURN IT!!

Joking...but first off before you go glassing vents and louvers and bubbles and whatever on it. Fit the bumper to the car and make it fit right. Then worry about the extras.

That attitude isn't going to get you far.

Ask anyone....when it comes to fiberglass just .......DO IT!

Nobody will be able to tell you what to do and how to do it and where to cut and grind etc etc. It does take a level of common sense to work with the stuff.

Its like painting a car...

How do you explain to someone over the damn internet to paint a car.....you cant! At the end of the day your just going to have to do it.

Hence why I told you to join a fiberglass forum, and read as much as you can and then dive in. You need to take the initiative to learn because people aren't going to spoon feed you when its almost impossible to teach someone this stuff over the internet.

Oh and since your GOOGLE seems broken..

the only way to learn how to glass is to practice. And when i say practice, I mean a lot. Been glassing over 10 years and I still don't have it down. However it took me a few years to get good at it. And I've don tons.

There's no tip or written direction that's going to help, trust me. And I don't say it to be an unhelpful ass. I say it from experience. That's why anyone worth their salt in glass work will say the same thing.

Just make sure you get the air bubbles out from behind the matting. that's one of the quickest ways to make your expnsive glass project a uselss unfunctional paper weight. Also scuff any layer that dries and you add to after it dries. this will help bond. resin to hardener rati is critical as well. exterior temperature can change your mixes. Otherwise, it's all tral and error

Thx J03Y, but right now i have a 3 week old baby boy and no expenses =[ and im trying to offload some parts i dont need anymore and hopefully getting a supercharger. After that im just going to paint the trunk and hood, this body kit is just going to have to wait i guess. Sucks cause i would love to just buckle down and do it.
