i have some free time at the shop and i came up with a idea i dont no if anyone has done it if so show me a pic pease. u no has any one ever made there ground fx blend in with there car so it look like it is apart of the car and not ground fx.

 

Probably not a great idea. It would look good, but cracking would be a very big concern. I have seen a couple hondas around here that have done it one looked really good, but the other was cracking in front.

 

I did sketch a while back where that was part of my ideas.

They make flex agents for plastic filler. I'm sure you could do it to where you wouldn't have to worry about cracking.

 

Really? I've never seen them before. I was under the assumption that for flexible parts (like bumper covers & ground effects) you used the "flexible bumper filler" and for steel parts you used regular body filler. You're saying that there is now an additive that makes regular body filler flex?

The age old problem is that the two dissimilar materials expand/contract at different rates. Every car I have ever seen where they tried to blend plastic to metal or fiberglass to metal has always cracked eventually.

Jza: could you post a link to the product you are referring to?

 

I've tried it using multiple methods and haven't gotten it to not crack yet. I'm probably going to redo it one final time and make a razor cut where the two panels meet. It won't be totally seamless, but it'd be smoother than the regular blending.

Bad idea I say...

 

thats how my entire kit will look this summer when the paint job is done, the front clip wont have any lines (almost to make it look like its stock) as will the testarossa sides and secret rear bumper cover,,, ill take pics of it when its done..

its rather easy to do..
