custom fiberglass

Yes, that method is possible (hard to make it symmetrical but possible), make sure you use poly eurethane and not some foam that reacts whit the glass fiber and melts.

so if I where to make a front air dam...I would just lay thefierglass over the foam....then could I remove most of the foam from the back and lay fiberglass on the inide too or just leve it and fiberglass with the foam inside??? would the foam add any strength??

[rustbucket]

The foam really wouldn't add anything in my opinion. If you use a releasing agent on the surface of the foam, the fiberglass won't stick to the foam, but will retain the shape.

thanks for all of your replys...I think I am gonna try some fiberglass....soon....and I may try to build my own air dam....if someone could give me a link to where I can get materials reletivly inexpensively I would appreciate it

to make things like spoilers on a car MDF wood is also used to create the shape, release agent on the finished piece of MDF and the fiberglass over that.

heres what I am going to do...i am going to measure height lingth and width of what i want to build....then I am going to make a wooden box at those dimensions....then i am going to poar expanding foam into the box and wait 24 hours....then I am going to dissasemble the box and have myself a peice of rigid foam roughly the shape I want...then I am going to carve the foam to make it look like a front end in a bodykit....then I am going to sand and refine the shape....then put my stock bumper mounts on the foam...cover it in a bunch of layers of glass....then sand the glass smooth....and then primer the glass with primer black( just like my car) and then install.....does this sound like it would work???

hey man...sound pretty good. i think it shold work...do you have a place to get supplies? If not here , this might help. They have everything you need, including the urethane foam, and its fairly inexpensive...and if you keep it fiberglass you shouldnt have any problems with your plan....
Good Luck....just make sure you get it down right the first couple times...it can get kinda pricey if your not easily satisfied!

let us know how it turns out for you!
