I hate to be the sole dissenter, but I think fiberglass looks sorta toy-ish to me. My favorite look is the clean bare metal interior, being a rally racing enthusiast. My friend has his civic all gutted and the metal was polished up really nice.

I do like the smooth look to it, and I LOVE the custom stuff you can do with it, but i've had a few guys at shows tell me it was a HUGE pain. I am pretty much a fan of the color coordinated interior, just shows people at shows that you are thinking far beyond just the outside.

i can only imagine how fun that is. from the very little fiberglass work i've done, it's all been with improvised tools. i looked over bugzys how to fiberglass a box, I might try to do some door panel work.

fiberglass really aint all that hard to work with

its just messy and time consuming

How much of a pain do ya think it would be to do just my back doors... very simplistic but to mold a 6x9 enclosure into it. Can I pretty much just follow bugzy's how to list and do it that way or is there a better way?
