I don't see why you'd want to make your own. That's too much work and it may not even turn out right. That's why people save there money instead of makinga mistake. Go out and buy one.

Hey, Yoshi. You have a nice looking car there. A luxury sports car. Don't turn it into a POS by adding plastic crap to it. If you want to mod something, go buy a Pontiac or a ricer. Please.

THis may sound dumb but I dont think the car comes into play into making a body kit, only the geometry - so feed your buddy some beed and get him to do it for you

Here is a quick run down of how to make your own lip kit....
I dont think he wants to make a whole body kit right? anyways a lip would be kool but anything further then taht will make it look.....weird..[8D]
Well first tape off the lower portion of the bumper.....Get some High density foam....shape it to your bumper then shape it how u want it to look.....When u have the desire shape or form....mix up your fiberglass [add alittle more hardner so it can dry faster and harder] use a paint brush paint it on the area taht is taped off. now somehow get the foam on the bumper then let it dry...once it dry the foam will be fixed in the place you want it to be...now more fiberglassing...mix up some more fiberglass but now have some fiberglass cloth or mat, apply fiberglass resin then cloth on top then resin them cloth then resin then cloth then resin then resin lol....alrite let it dry!!!!
Then Trim....after finish paint to color match and screw to your oem bumper...Viola!

i think a lip is the extent of what you should do to a car like that. the tough part about working with that foam is that you need to make sure both sides are even. the problem with that medium is that u canot build up, u can only shave off foam. if youve got 0 artistic or sculpting ability, dont even try, you wont get far. its harder than it sounds.
