How To Mold Widebody Fenders To Your Car!

[@rbntamez]

Finally a guy who decided to do something about the rivet look, I freakin hate that rivet look! This is how body kits should be and look. GREAT JOB MAN!

[@e36fanatics]

theres a good reason why its riveted... this type of molding will never hold good for more than half year and in the end it will crack the paint so youve now wasted money on painting the car and molding the kit for nothing

[@EbilEnemyofBurgerTown]

Rivets look terrible

[@Nick-ge6ud]

Why

[@X50505]

@@EbilEnemyofBurgerTown Rivets don't look terrible on some cars and it depends what kind of rivets you use. Look at an authentic Ridox Supra and the rivets blend it perfectly well with the car.

[@EbilEnemyofBurgerTown]

@@X50505 I hate the look of wide body rivets. Looks cheap to be honest.

[@gsxeclipse97]

I'm usually not into the wide body because of the hole, but that molded look is CLEAN!

[@erikaespinoza2515]

same!!!! now i like the wide body kit!

[@rl1275]

I just hate the look of the rivets all over the car it kills the curves

[@rudyf2387]

Will somebody give this dude a shop and sponsors!! This is amazing!

[@taiwanizzle]

He didn't etch prime all that bare metal. It's going to rust.

[@StockGur00]

Kenneth Lin that’s what happened to mine. The dude who did it probably didn’t do what you said

[@taiwanizzle]

@@StockGur00 I hate when KZbinrs with little to no experience say "this is how you should do it" then cut corners. Sure, it looks good now, but skipping steps like etching primer is so elementary. It's not even expensive, plus you really don't need a lot of it. Q

[@StockGur00]

Kenneth Lin Im trying to figure out how to fix it. It pretty much has little cracks in all four corners of the car. And I can see the rust under..

[@markomeseldzija8273]

Looks awesome! For future reference or for anyone else who wants to do this, applying the bondo or body filler going left to right versus up and down will make your life a lot easier. A lot less sanding and easier to apply in a couple broad strokes!

[@stgmatuning]

Didn’t he purposely go up and down because of the gap between the fender and the body?

[@N0_UNITY]

100% correct its just like doing drywall

[@N0_UNITY]

@@stgmatuning yes, thats the way to go when filling holes but to get an even spread go horizontally after all holes have been filled

[@stgmatuning]

@@N0_UNITY thank you!

[@dylankoenig1211]

Jsut trying to give some advice for other people that are trying to do this at home or even for you the next time you are doing this. You did a great job at getting all of the right materials and everything just next I would suggest not wiping down your fiberglass fenders with a solvent or cleaning product. They can end up getting trapped in the fiberglass and causing problems later. Tip number 2 fiberglass fillers main propose if to prevent water from getting in behind your panels where you sand down to bare metal and causing rust, as well as adding slight strength for your body filler, you should not have to put 3 coats of fiberglass material on. Tip number 3 remove more of the paint where your working any body filler if not desided (except for polyerster filler, that can get applied over primer) to be applied over any paint. Tip number 4 the idea ratio for harder is 2% of what ever amount of body filler your using Just wanted to give some helpful information. Looks great!

[@charlesvaughn2533]

i do glass work all day, you always solvent wipe before layup

[@donnyp.4456]

Finally someone that knows how to install a widebody kit the proper way

[@TheFirstCause]

I subbed out of respect for the fact you've never done this before. It turned out awesomely. I've never done work of this level before myself, but always DIY everything, just figure it out and do it. I was looking for tutorials/vids about molding widebody kits to look seemless with no rivets. This was exactly what I needed! Thanks!

For someone who claims never to have done this he did a really good job brah, PROPS

[@schtekar]

WOW. This is a sick job, cant imagine how many hours of sanding this took. Love how it turned out, looks so much cleaner than all these riveted body kits around. Mad respect, insta subbed! 💯

[@christianngo4736]

Amazing work dude! How strong would you say this method is? I noticed you stances pretty hard. Would the kit break before the bond?

[@chris_borges]

I appreciate it bro! This was my first time doing bodywork so im not sure how strong these methods are but I did make sure I dont rub on my fenders with my stance to possibly break the mold haha. Over the past months till present day I've ran different wheel setups and so far the only part that has cracked was the front bumper pieces that mold onto the plastic bumper and the front fender mold but that was because I hit a HUGE dip and pushed my bumper up. But as for the rears after rubbing alot I have had not breaking of the mold.

[@christianngo4736]

Thanks for the response Chris! Really appreciate the info and the video you put out! It’s very well made and very informative! If I use this method I’ll be sure to let my viewers know who I learned from! 🙏🏻

[@KrieseTV]

Great video!! Now I know what supplies to get and process to go about to wide body my car without rivets!!

[@dpreetam]

So, I recently watched 3m's video on using their panel bond. They say to spread the bond on all of the exposed metal on the body because it will act as a coating to prevent rust. I feel as though a lot of people doing their own kits miss this.

[@TaitanYoo]

Bro!! This is so dope! I’ve wanted to do this to my car for ages! Thanks for the vid man! 👌🏽

[@trussedmetal7536]

Awesome video and thanks for the insight from a beginner's perspective. Not as hard as I initially though and something which is 100% manageable. Awesome vid.

[@Bradlifer]

When applying fiberglass you can make things easier by giving a long swipe to clean it a bit. 2 seconds vs 20 minutes lol looks good and good spread on the screws.

[@ShelbyPaget]

Wow what an incredible how to man! I'm contemplating doing this to my Porsche Cayman and this is going to be my reference video! :)

[@elilopez2517]

Wont the bare metal start to rust?

[@jonathanedwards3702]

eli lopez not as long as it is primed and painted.

[@nullsker]

The bare metal under the over fenders will

[@xxronaxx4994]

The 3m panel bond adhesive is made to be placed over bare metal, and yes it's meant to be spread over all the bare metal and then a bead run along as the bridge but aslong as it is primed properly under the fenders it won't rust

[@benlopez7976]

If you look at one of his latest videos it did rust 😕

looks great, only concern I would have would be the exposed metal of the body underneath the kit that didn't get any paint etc. maybe you already addressed that in paint but if you didn't that could present a rust issue later down the line, maybe use like a rubber undercoating etc. inside the fender well to protect it ?

[@britawaterfiltergamingchan4571]

Woah! I didn't even know this was a thing! And this being a great tutorial is just a cherry on top. I just have 1 question though. Is it ok if I leave the rivets on the body kit so It's more secure?

[@chris_borges]

FirstName LastName Great question. I’ve seen it done before but i think you will have to use more bondo to cover everything up and you also won’t be able to sand down the kit flush because there will be a rivet there. If you want to keep rivets on, i suggest not sanding down the kit as much as i did in the video and just throw bondo on top of it.

[@BuildsbyDres]

This is awesome, bookmarked for future use

[@chris_borges]

DocDres appreciate it !

[@144Jacob]

Dam that looks awesome brotha. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HockeyLAKings119]

That turned out really good man! I'm planning on adding some fender glares on my accord, and making it flush like this. My only concern is this. When you drill all those holes, are you not concerned they will rust over time? I'm in canada, so I would be pretty worried about that. I guess when you take them out, just put a dab of paint in the holes?

[@user-uq4ly6fp6m]

I wonder if using reverse hardware/rivets and use the body filler over them would work for extra rigidity. I'd be too worried about hitting a pothole and having the wheel smack against the widebody.

[@confinez555]

Hi. Just a stupid question: How's the reliability? And those liquid using to fill in the gap of fenders are fiberglass but in liquid form?? it looks fun and beatuiful and simple to do. But im just afraid when long time passes. The mold might deshape itself?

Thanks very informative starting mine tomorrow 2008 bmw m6 wide body..wish me luck gonna be an expensive screw up if i do it wrong...😳

[@Mj2335]

Dude! Awesome job 👏

[@filitamayo]

Looks very nice , I'm about to do the same thing to my civic, only I would do different is not sand down to bare metal, your gona het slot of rust where you bonded them to the body. All you had to do is scuff your paint, primer or what ever it was you had on your car. Other than that, looks nice.

[@JOEGGGJOE]

I must say, I’m impressed. I glad to you a first timer use all good quality materials, besides the shitty primer (ha). Good job man. Next time you have to sand the original mounting holes. You really should bevel/feather them out. But you can just sand it enough so the bondo sticks. You don’t want any gloss areas. But other then that, 👍👍.

[@JoseCruz-dk3fi]

Great job dude 👍 looks pro

[@papitosabe]

I'm surprised the rivet look is a thing. The first time I saw it I thought it would be a quick fad and become a meme of what not to do. It looks so damn tacky and aftermarkety. I have a feeling more people are going to be doing what Chris did. Looks absolutely amazing.
