Do u guys know if i can mold my side skirts to the body using Bondo?
I don't want the gap to be seen between the body and the side skirts.
Thanks

 

So anybody know if that's a good idea?

 

i think you going to have sand the paint off a little and use fiberglass first sand that smooth and the body filler...

 

yea thats what i was planning on doing...
mount the side-skirts then instead of using the crappy double sided tape maybe i can just mold it to the actual body.
but my question is can i use bondo body filler?

 

You can, but you gotta be pretty good at sanding it. I would take it too a collision shop or body shop to ask for a estimate first.

 

yea thats a good idea...
but im a very detailed person and everything i do has to be perfect so im pretty sure i can do it.
i dont like paying other ppl to do something that i know i can do.

 

You can't really use bondo to mold plastic/fiberglass side skirts to your sheet metal body. The weather will mess with the body causing it to shrink or stretch depending on the extreme weather (which Chicago has alot of) and the bondo will end up cracking on you from the constant stress.

 

then what do u recommend for me to use?

 

Well you can go around asking most body shops how they would do it. But very few can get them to work properly. Since you live in Streamwood, check out this place in Schaumburg called VIP Auto. It's on Wise Rd. and Schaumburg road. Guy named Mr. Jung owns it. Ive seen some of their jobs on a 350z and Lexus and so far through one winter I haven't seen a problem.

 

great idea man...
i got ask around some more then
hey u going to MOD on 10/4

 

Yea give them a call see what the recommend. I think they charged me about $300 to do the skirts. no I'm in Utah and will be for a long time.

 

oh that sucks. well this is my first time going to a big event like this so it should be fun...
Did u used to live around here? cuz i drive down wise rd to work everyday and i havent noticed that shop. well there's so many auto shope on wise.

 

535 W. Wise Rd. It' like a little strip mall. A little before the Comcast building.
I used to live in Elk Grove, I'm in military now and have my car out here with me

 

at least u got ure car. lol
and yes i've seen that place (i think) is it in front of the village tavern and grill?

 

Yea I spent first couple months without it. Worst 3 months of my life. And a very long drive here.
very close to that place. It's more on the corner of Mitchell Blvd and Wise Rd. If you're traveling North from Roselle Rd. and make a left on Wise it's a few blocks down on your left. Should be a Speedway across the street kiddie corner from it.
