Outstanding work and craftsmanship. Patience and attention to detail. Truly. When is the painted and completion video coming??

I don't know yet, i'm gonna start working on the side skirts now and after that i'm thinking about wrapping the car

I drive a lancer and I can't ever find lips for the bumper sides that come down. Looking to put lips under just them and leave the middle how it is. Thanks for the inspiration.

You're welcome

Hi i'm from Indonesia😊

[@jasonhernandez6291]

Appreciate the inspiration, I'm building a custom side louvers with my 3d printer they jus don't make em for my vehicle and I wantd to fiberglass them for durability the process uve shown has give me that extra pep I need to feel comfortable continuing if all works out I'm make rear window louvers and that will be epic I'd be the only 2017 ford.... with em 🤣🤣🤣

[@chiquitademivida]

I'm glad to hear that, i wish you success in your project

[@sonmydful]

i thought polyester resin melted the xps? are you laying masking tape over the xps to prevent the chemical reaction? well done nicely made

[@chiquitademivida]

Yeah use masking tape but aluminum foil tape works better so that the foam doesn't melt

[@RelaX_Codes]

7:30 what is present in that metal container you poured in that plastic bowl ?? 7:41 what is present in those tubes

[@chiquitademivida]

7:30 is fiberglass resin 7:41is a hardener for fiberglass resin, when you buy the fiberglass resin is already comes with the hardener

[@justinguarino201]

Needs some side skirts and that diffuser (assuming you also made that) needs to extend out to the whole side of the car so it lowers that rear another inch or two so the whole car is leveled out 😎

[@chiquitademivida]

Yeah i made that diffuser too and side skirts is gonna be my next project, thank you for your advice i will keep it in mind 👍

Beautiful job very nice ❣️🙂 you are amazing with it

[@chiquitademivida]

Thank you

[@lradeeca]

Work os great, but I think lip is to wide it missmatch line of the car. If you made side lips to match wideness Its OK! However U really did a awesome job!

[@chiquitademivida]

I did it like that because my goal is to make a wide body kit, but that's a good point thank you

[@barnes29510]

Question: by chance, do you the first part of the project recorded? Great work! I been doing things like this since the 80s to my (& friends) rides. The final results are so satisfying. Especially when people ask, who done the work? The look on their face when they found out I did was hilarious.

[@chiquitademivida]

Wow that's awesome, i don't have the first part of the project, Unfortunately i deleted some videos because i made many mistakes and also i didn't want to make the video too long

[@jdmchickkustomz9417]

Wow this is so amazing I got so many great ideas from this. I've been trying to fabricate custom parts but using that mold release agent and gel to make your own is such a better idea. I just need to look more closely at what all materials you used and where do you get them?

[@chiquitademivida]

The fiberglass, PVA release agent, mold release, and the Q-cell filler, i bought all this at Amazon and ebay and the rest of the stuff i bought them at the local store

[@jdmchickkustomz9417]

[@Eclipse_XVX]

Enjoyed the video. I've been watching videos on making lip's, spoilers etc. Problem is I don't know how to start and what exactly Is I would need. Would you mind helping me out with a list of things that would help getting started? And where I could probably get fiberglass cloth?

[@chiquitademivida]

Yeah sure, you can buy fiberglass on amazon or ebay, so this is what you need, ( fiberglass chopped strand mat cloth, fiberglass resin, Bondo body filler, chip paint brush, sandpapers, gloves and 3m paint respirator ) now if you wanna make a front bumper lip side skirts or anything, just watch a lot of different videos to get an idea of how you can start your project, that's my advice

[@JoseGuerrero-fr4ri]

It is necessary to mask the foam in order to apply the resin and the fiber to get a proper adhesion between those materials?

[@chiquitademivida]

Yes, you have to put some kind of tape, otherwise the resin is gonna eat the foam, i recommend to use foil tape

Hello men, what was the white thing that you spread on the bottom of the bumper?

It's called gelcoat, use gelcoat only when you make a fiberglass mold of something, like car parts or anything
