That is a great writeup... I would be on this mod if I didn't like the bb front grill emblem... but who knows it looks like so much fun

I always wanted to try the fiberglass. Someone should gather all these DIY for the xb and make a webpage with them.

Thanks for the writeup! Awesome job!

Sweetness! It looks like the resin has started to gel up a bit, hopefully not. Best of luck and keep us posted.

They tend to show up every now and then in the classifieds. Your best bet might be to start a WTB.

I had never used it before either. It's completely easy, just takes a LOT of sanding and patience. I'd suggest at least trying, especially if you can get one off eBay so cheap.
