Just my two cents

It was not until some time after my comments that the OP mentioned he was going to have a friend, who is a body shop professional, help him with the work.

So you're saying someone 18 years old wouldn't be worthy of doing this project on his own? I don't know how you can be so negative and tell the guy not to do it when you don't even know him!

i was saying that it's not something I would suggest doing it unless rather qualified... metal fabrication is quite the process man.. i love how you even use the term "worthy" which is a very emotional term. What is with you guys and trying to provoke stuff lately. All I said was that I wouldn't suggest doing it as an overnight "driveway" project and would make sure he knows what he's getting into.. not a easy process to just reverse if you don't like the outcome... I think that was a rather "helpful" post

DIY FTW do it man I wanna see this. I have an extra CF hood thought about trying to make one myself

I'm not taking things personally, it's just the negativity that your portray and the generalizations you make.

just trying to help... i'll take some time off here and hopefully come back a happier camper

good luck bro!! looking forward to the outcome

DIY ftw... I cant imagine it being very hard. Best of luck--time consuming sure, but not hard

cant wait to see the result.

you guys with m3 hoods realize its going to be different on a non m hood right? need to weld on a non m hood.

GOOD LUCK bro. cant wait to see what u come up with.

I would weld on an M hood too.... what's your point? haha

DO IT MAN!!! DIY FTW!!

Word of warning though: if you want it to look good don't OVERdo it. Most boser hoods are TOO much. If you don't go over the top with it, hiding 50% of your headlights, it can look great!

MIG or TIG bro.

although it is possible to weld aluminum.. its a lot easier to fiberglass the boser look.

mig is a b1tch to weld with aluminum.. well thats what my uncle said.. just a lot easier and FG wouldnt be bad for something that doeesnt get scraped by the ground like a bumper

crazy...lol. I prefer working with aluminum over FG.

MIG isnt too bad TIG is more common anyways for Aluminum

trutfully i totally forgot about mig and tig cole. haha i tried to think back to my welding class in HS and i was thinkin you couldnt weld aluminum. then i typed it and was like waaaait. lol
