I was wondering if anyone knew anyone that could reproduce a factory or aftermarket body kit that either isn't made anymore, or one of a kind? I am trying to get idea's on reproducing a body kit I have however if it was to get damaged I would be in alot of trouble. I have the molds of the body kit, but somehow need to figure out how to make another matching pair? Any tips anyone?

Fiberglass my friend. Make a plug of the mold then mold your kit off the plug. It's all very simple. Matter of fact I have a great video of it if someone has a few hundred meg of space and some bandwidth to spare, I'd gladly hook everyone up.

Yeah I kind of thought of making a fiberglass mod of it, but what do you mean by "making a plug"? could you upload movies these to me? I will just contact you on aim. Thanks.
