    {PICS} 3G Xenon Sideskirts on a 2G DX

    Rquired very minimal modifications to get em up. Will need some fiberglass to finish the job and some light bondo to make the curves correct, but wow im happy with the puppies. I was going to sell them and wasnt having any luck so i thought why not.
    More pics to come...

    I'm surprised at how well the curves match (Y) Nice work!

    Wait, is that a xenon rear for a 3g in the picture Haz? Or just a stock 3g?

    Media blast? They started stripping corvettes like that now and it used to be by using paint remover, plastic squegee, scuff pads and laquer thinner.

    You could start with a pressure washer.

    I think the pressure washer would do a little bit. That is a good idea! maybe not entirely like you suggested but this lacquer thinner won't damage the material?

    I have begun adding the layers of fiberglass jelly. I must say it is alot easier to work with than the bondo crap. I am begging the the sanding process and using some primer/filler to even out the pits. I really like the way they are turning out i hope they last!

    Aren't you supposed to be putting the fiberglass on the inside of the damaged part, and then filling in the broken area? If you put the fiberglass on the outside, don't you end up just building up material on the outside that you have to sand off to make everything smooth?

    To be honest I do not know. The outside needed to be hit because of all the cracks and need to fill the gap between the two parts. I hadto cut out about 6 inches from the sideskirt. It was too long. So Icut the excess out and shortened the length length fiberglassed the inside and outside for strength.

    Are those parts made from fiberglass originally? Or are they some kind of urethane?

    Be careful what filler and stuff you use then. A lot of standard metal fillers and stuff don't properly bond to urethane. I think you need special adhesives and fillers that are urethane compatible.
