use 32 grit sand paper to cut the zgrip.

don't let the filler get too hard. rub it down when its semi soft and it doesn't clog the sand paper. thats called green stage sanding.

Hey guys next time allya doing another fiber glass project try getting "Wax"...
Its an additive that u can use in your Resin/MEKP mix. The ratio of use is jus about the same as your MEKP.
As your fiberglass project gets hard the "Wax"settles to the top making it Very easy to sand.
Be sure to not mix your resin too "Hot"... Cause the wax wouldn't have time to settle on the top...
Too much hardner can also cause resin to go exothermic
Be careful with this stuff and always remember to wear your respirator....

[casper]

yea...it looks much nicer with the sleepy look i find...looks great how u have it there...but i rather the sleepy style u drew up there more

[pimptacular]

[spam]

i could tell alyuh he had real practice doin them thing cuz the pods i make for meh car doh look nothing so hahahahah

well is meh first time i go learn

but it lookin real decent

[jeff]

argg.. as soon as i get back my camera i will post ones that we did for a xtrail a lil while back

[jeff]

yep it can be done..jus angle to get away from the aircondition thingy by the tweets in the xtrail..

[nigel1977]

As long as you could minimise pld's yuh orn.

And don't even hope that time alignment will help. It wont.

At the end of it, it sounds nice, but images and stages shitty. Been there, done that, wont go back. Stick to kick panels. Much more benefit for the effort.

Hole dis palos....

[jeff]

^^nice..thats the 3 inch leg? how the drivers side kick came out?

in the xtrail the kick is jumbied by the tcm box but it can be done..

[nigel1977]

Driver side is just as sunken into the panel. Both panels are actually SMALLER than the original ones.

Edit... 3" leg, with the possibility of a change out to a 4' leg.

[nigel1977]

hmmm....plus the xty bonnet pull lever is built into the existing kick...i doh see how it gonna work

thaz y i was lookin at the dash

Dont make excuses. do it right the first time.

go to www.fiberglassforums.com to see how its done with bonnet release handles

[nigel1977]

I'm concerned meh boy pios, that you're cutting into the surface area of the light so much that you're actually reducing the output of each headlight. Have you tried out the lights with the lids on to see how much more dimmer the lights are?


To get rid of them holes, either use glazing putty or mix a few drops of fiberglass resin with the filler, use the normal filler creme hardener, plus a tad extra, and it will self level and run smooth. It dries real quick, so don't wait till its real hard to start sanding.

Wet sand the thing with 220 sand paper afterwards (water with a lil squeezy)

[cinco]

nigel i feel is the angle of the last two pics is a tief head
but it lookin good pios make it real official and cut the ring off the top edge of the bigger light just so it wont look so straight across

[pimptacular]

pioneer, think he talkin bout the housing of the headlight bulb..it coverin the top part of that by a half inch or 1/4 inch..buh pios leave it jus so

pios how come some spots missin filler? it 1 level an smoothe?

[weapon-X]

jeff, we waiting to see how the box lookin in th x-trail, organize some progress pics nuh.

[spam]

i watchin all these pics alyuh postin and i goin to start a lil project on my own i goin to attempt to make a back dash for my 2 8" speakers

i will try to take some progress pics and alyuh could comment and tell me where and what i doin wrong
