Cool also I thought of using fiberglass instead of plastic if I take like some gorilla glue or some other product you guys can suggest to attach the fiberglass to the back of the factory plastic will that work?

Okay I just had another idea please tell me which one you guys think is better the previous one or this one. Take some urethane foam and shape my mold then attaching that to the factory plastic putting resin and a layer of mat on top of that and then filler, Or attach the foam and then just put filler on top of the foam or will neither one work? Please let me know!

Check hzemalls products link on his website. It shows everything he uses. The Dominion plastic Repair is hard to find. Thats why i used the 3M for my project and i didnt have to buy the gun i just mixed 50-50 of each compound myself.

most shops will sell you a 12 x 12 sheet of abs and most of the stuff can be purchased at an auto body supply store....ask a body shop where they buy their paint and supplies from.
