Before i start i know theres a faq on how to shave things but it really doesnt cover much. So anyways today i went out and baught some resin and fiberglass cloth, and maid myself a new door panel, not finished yet but looking quit good. So here are my question when a shop shaves lets say the taillights that are part of the trunk what do they use? Is it fiber galss, sheet metal or what. Would fiberglass work, by just filling the whole sanding and then primeing the thing. Heres another question how do shops mold bumpers into the body of the car? Do they use fiberglass or what. Lastly Has anyone installed by themsleves these z3 style inserts into their fenders? Cause i got a pair and im gunna be putting them in this weekend, so if anyone has any tips, please share..

dont put em in... keep it clean...

depending on the body shop, they use bondo to fill in the gaps and it cracks like crazy...

For filling in your taillights, all metal is probably the best way to go because fiberglass doesn't flex the way metal does... Requires welding though. good luck

 

Who wouldn't want there honda to look like a bmw?????

 

thanks
