I was so lost as to where to start making my own kit, since parts are long out of production from Japan… but this makes it seem so easy, thanks!
Nice job. About 10 year ago I made a rear window spoiler as well. Very similar process I used. At the time I didn't think about using expanded foam, but used the pink insulation foam board and hand carved and glassed it. I covered the foam in tinfoil to keep the resin from eating it. but that's how i got my form. Can't wait to see this whole project finished.
I had the eating issue couldnt get any good tips but that thats a good idea
What is great about this build is that when you build it yourself then its one of a kind vs hundreds of add on parts that people buy which makes they're s no different fron someone else except maybe a different color, awesome job dude
where do you learn to do this? is there like a forum or book where i get can get all the steps and how to's cause in every youtube vid i've seen they always seem to skip over some things. like why were u molding huge sheets of fiberglass over the roof and back glass? what part of the process is that?
Is this way cheaper than just buying the kits for a vehicle ? Ik it’s not what I’d design it but I’m trying to stay on a budget
Dopework bro, just decided to make a one off kit for my Lexus and I laughed when you showed your digital mod version of the kit because I've been using the stylus on my Note 20 Ultra to sketch all of my ideas onto photos. Can't wait to see it done!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Nixon Hezekiah Instablaster =)
@Josue Trey I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Josue Trey It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Nixon Hezekiah No problem =)
Yooooo bro I'm from Calgary too. I've seen your car. Been watching your vids, gonna be making a kit for my car
And I thought I was being productive during quarantine lol. Looks incredible! Cant wait to see the progress!
🙌
It looks like your about to get a whole nother season of body kits lol love your work flipping awesome skilll!
Please, when you finish the bodykit, post the result
Reallt nice work you do dude!!!!! A nd what your doing do your buddys frs areo !!! cant wait see all finished!!!!
What expanding foam are you using? Cans of great stuff get expensive
Can you please share the name of components which you used for making foam
Instructions unclear I blew my motor
Keep it up dude. Good job! Cant wait to see end result.
Ayyyy that intro was so clever 😆😂
Hahah thanks Jacob!
I appreciate this so much dude! My car doesn't have any body kits for it state side and I don't wanna use YAJ, so I'm gonna have to make it.
love this, very smart. Honestly the way cars are made now, that foam has more support.
what are the Expanding-Foam brand that you use?
where did you find that?
i am from sri lanka i can't find that Expanding-Foam spray from here...
look for polyurethane foam for insulation
absolutely love this. you've given me ideas for my car.
8:04 sup with that wing brah it would look sick af on the roof of my s12 200sx or my chevy sonic RC Custom 1of1 built by my self
what material are u using to build the pieces?
Todo un artista mis felicitaciones
Where can I find the video with the front bumper
Yea bro looks good
I been slinging body filler and make a lliving doing iit for 25+ years bro , and I will never knock another man's work, but I would not use drywall mud brother!! I am afraid all of your hard work and 💰 will crack and fall out relatively quickly if u do that. I'm sure you've probably heard a million different ways though. It will be a learning experience!lol 36grit and start cutting it while it's soft, don't by 3M Bondo filler, it's shit, get you some nice lightweight filler, "ZGrip" is good and cheap and cuts well,
Hey! Appreciate the input, but I have a bit of a different technique than you think with the drywall filler. It is simply to get the base shape - then it will be sealed with fiberglass. The drywall filler is not meant to be structural at all - as I will be moulding it and reproducing the parts out of carbon fiber / fiberglass. It is just simply to get the shape correct :)
for a second i thought that after picture was from nfs carbon
Need some tips on doing lip kits. I wanna do a lip all around
Fibreglass and and apoxy resin,body filler or clay and a cardboard mold (your design) in plastic that stick's to surface if heat treated,lubricate material and sand paper.
Make the mold by cardboard then grab your body filler or clay and do a 5 to 10 coats all over it Sand it to the shape you like
Wrap it in that plastic make sure to leave no air bubles open spots or folds lubricate so the fiber glass don't stick to the mold start applying fiberglass sheet by sheet after every sheet add the apoxy mix.
Do some research because sometime has past when I read or heard this as it might be incomplete it might be incomplete .
So awesome thanks for sharing also how did u edit that r32
You are killing it
I wish i found your videos before
I cut and change the front bumper on my 09 ford fusion usin a bumper from a honda accord
And i looked for ideas here on youtube
I also want a roof spoiler now i kmow how i can do my own 😀😀🤔🤔👌👌👌
Where did you go? Updates on this build? I have an r32 and I’m making my own skirts and front lip.
It's been almost two years in the making, but the car is expected to be finished in May of 2022 :) follow @infamousaero and @jesse.fsjp to see updates!
hi bro. im also doing bodykit durjng this pandemic. the problem is i tend to get engaged with other activities lol. how do you even manage to do these stuff? for me it might take a while to complete my project.
Nice work man.
Whats that blue stuff you used to shape everything.
Roof spoiler = good bye aerodynamic 😂
This is incredible
Dude this is so badass. I'm going to try something like this an hope it comes out right lol. I have a 98 Mitsubishi eclipse. As of right now it has no side skirts an the flat spoiler I hate it lol. Great job bro love it
I love the eclipse are you gonna post your build progress?
What app did you use to map out your build prior I've been looking for something close to that
No app, i just mocked it up with Apple Keynote haha
Hey man idk if you’re gonna see this but what you’re doing is exactly what I wanna do for a living, I was just wondering if you have any tips on how to learn this stuff, like is there a class or did you learn by yourself. Would love to know more about stuff like this!
Body shops can help you learn, but this stuff is almost strictly self taught. Composite work with a composite company will also help you learn
How much time it lasts?
Sweet, cool process! But I'm curious what's happening with lowcals?
Always evolving - I've chosen to focus my attention on infamous the past few months
Dude I can see me doing this!! I can see me fabbing up jigs/molds
Here’s what would kill me!!
Let’s say I got the right fender flare perfect …. Or right side of bumper aero dead nuts they way I like it
How do you keep it a 100% xerox copy to the left side
That would make my OCD flare up & I’d loose my sh*t
Is there a Body Mans mod/hack for coping something perfect left to right
Right to left 🤔
the roof spoiler is increasing the wake size and not letting clean air reach the boot lid spoiler 😂 I know its just for looks but I thought I'd through that in.
🤣 that is totally okay. This car is meant to look cool and occasionally go sideways
Great video I’m doing the same to my 350z lollll!!!
Aye thats sick! Post a video haha! I'd love to see the progress
Can you link your purchases for this project please?
what is the next step from foam to fibreglass?
Im new to this kinda stuff, and really want to dive into it, can anybody tell me what kind of stuff did he use? Since im not in america, im not sure if that stuff available in my country.
Hmu 🙏
What kind of expanding foam exactly did you use? Where can I get some?
Any expanding foam can work most of the time bro, just experiment
Foam & Bondo works too?
yes but you need to be careful which types you use, as some foams will react with bondo
I would imagine drywall joint compound will Crack like nobody's business and not take to paint as well but I just do body work idk lol
Dude fantastic job. You need to add some other key words in here because I searched for a while and this video didnt come up until YT recommended it
Where did you find this foam ive been looking everywhere!!
Its normal construction foam from a Hardware Store
just start with a block or brick of foam filler and make any shape you need from the block trust me
Great video, cool work. Shame that the car looks so good as it is tho :(
Good job awesome 👏🏻
How much to make a small diffuser for a car? I will pay, whats your contact info?
Send me an email! jesse@infamousaero.com
How did you edit that picture?!
Just on Keynote lol
Frigin amazing.
yo yo yo, the rona in alberta has been whack. but i now i have time and money to put into my car.
lmaooo nothing wrong with some extra time
Loba teuing ngoceh,saeutik gawe
deadly
Why u put resin on the car man use foil first !!!!!!!!!!
When you have a car that is actually worth some money and it's only getting more expensive PLEASE BUT EXCELLENT QUALITY AFTERMARKET STUFF. IT deserves to have excellent stuff, I mean this stuff is cool but NOT FOR THIS CAR YO
Check back in when the car is finished and you will disagree :)
33 / 5,000
Translation results
why are you using this foam and you are not using ready-made foam
How in tf does this vid have lesss than 200likes!! ...... the diy (build your own) breed is dying
Umm how sturdy is that stuff looks like it could fall off tbh why not just get a real body kit it’s prolly better in the long run
It's so I can make a mould to create a fiberglass bumper - IE "a real body kit". Did you even watch the vid ? The foam is not the final bumper
Just to let you know, I thumbs downed this, and cut the video off due to foul language. What a shame. Think about it- clean your act up.
Somebody’s Sensitive 😟
