I'm really trying to do a little of both, some custom work. I want to shave the middle panel off the back and have it body color, and also move my license plate up into that area, and I would like to explore making a custom body kit from fiberglass, any pointers? I also need to realign my hood, I had a little accident last summer and I think that it got f--ed up. I need to post a few pics of it for you to see. I see what I can do about that.

if you dont know alot about of body work then its best left alone to the pros. it can be very time consuming and tedious. a custom body kit will not be easy, escpacilly if you never had any experience. you will probably need alot of tools and probably some special ones too. its gonna be long and hard but with time, it can be done.

well fiber glass is a pain in the ***. you should practice a lot before you do it.
I don't know about replacing the center pannel. It is a solid pice. that is a lot of fiberglass!!
