I don't understand all the hate in the comments. It's his car and he did the work himself so why is it dumb? I get the comments about making molds but it's his show and he did it his way. Not a lot of people can say they built their own CF wide body kit for their car in their garage.
I appreciate it honestly when I built this I knew it would piss people off and this was my first time working with any composite so I definitely made mistakes but I’m definitely proud of it thanks for the kind words
@@eurokevin Some people just start to hate because they wish they can do it themselves but they can't. They don't even know where to start and in the end as long as you like the results of what you built yourself that is all that matters.
Some people don't understand why it's better to do it yourself rather than buy ready made parts or pay someone else to do it. It's the sense of accomplishment, the fact that it's one of a kind and that you did it! Plus the skills you learn along the way 👌 great work 👍👍
Professionals start somewhere. If everyone just bought their parts there would be no one to make them. The ones who say go buy it are consumers, They either have no ability no creativity or they are lazy and they know it so they have to beat down anybody who wants to do it themselves.
Damn, those are some really cool looking custom fender flares. I like the overall look with the oil sealed surface rust and minty green paint. Mint, brown and black really go well together. And that custom front bumper, so dope. I like how it has a "fisheye" effect at all times.
That is an incredible amount of hard work. That itself is a huge accomplishment. Only helps that it turned out sick AF! I love and hate the patina at the same time!! I agree with a lot of the comments. You should be making custom wide-body kit templates for a living
So, let me understand this process: Foam on Shape foam Hard putty filler? Sand down More putty filler? Lay 1st fibre+resin (release compound needed here?) Remove from car Clean foam residue off the piece Paint a primer coat? Then finish with another layer of carbon fibre over that? Finishing Mounting What else I'm missing from these steps? Thank you in advance
This is EXACTLY how people creatively figure out a different way, a better way a novel way..... a brilliant way at times.... to do something others are just mentally stuck only doing or buying because they aren't able to stop and come up with a different line of pursuit and FIND a different road.... Great job and my hats off to you and your future creative break-thru's!! Your effort and spirit are how some come up with some truly amazing things. Keep it up. Be you. Let others be them 😊
Your ride is SO COOL, man! I dig the grungy look. Wish the body lines of the CF were different. They look like they were a universal body panel... But it being what it is looks great, my dude! Bravo
Wow, a lot of negative comments. You did an amazing job Kevin and i seriously dought anyone of these naysayers could build a model car from a box. I hope your ignoring them.😁
Gonna agree. I don't mind keeping stuff original, but if you don't plan on selling, why stay boring and with the whole "mold" society wants you to be in? I got a 2005 MK1 Velociti, one of the first ones that came out without the round shape in the taillights, and boy ain't she good. Still original at the moment, but I'm planning on making her look good and give her some customized options too, and instead of spending money on buying a new expensive stock car, I can use that money to make her my own, which could even be better and beat the living daylights out of an original stock car. That's my preference, but to each their own I guess. I dunno bout you, but "stock fanatics" are just boring people who's working their arses off just to pay off debt for a "faster new model" instead of sticking with what they have and making it better. I dunno, I'd get my hands dirty on a project instead of wearing a suit to pay off debt 🤷♂️
Wear a mask when sanding bro, we all think it’s cool not to until our lungs take the hit.. take it from me, I learned the hard way 🥲 but beautiful build!
Nice I love them but if you would of just taken one more step you could of used them as plugs and made multiple kits, I thought that's what you were doing because that the route you took once you pulled them off and cleaned them up you just needed to stiffen the mold up and then seal it and you could of laid the carbon inside of the plug not on top and you would of kept those nice lines you created. Hey anyways it doesn't matter what you created is very nice I was just surprised because that's the way I thought you were going either way you did great and the panels came out amazing I am sure others will want to do the same as it looks so nice keep it up bro!
I've never seen anything like this before. I am not a car guy. I am in complete awe of this man's skills, and anyone else who does this kind of stuff. Bravo!
You're getting a lot of flack here but you've also gotten some decent advice on future composite work. There's constructive criticism and then there are unhelpful assholes. Ignore the haters, keep learning, keep on making the things that matter to you.
Good start for sure. I personally, would have made it just carbon, with all the effort you went through to make it appear carbon. Doesn't deserve the ignorant comments though. May not have been in your budget or something. Still does what you intended for it to do. 🤷♂️
Hey; i just came along your Channel.

Very confused as to why people hate on this car? Its very rare and sought after. I seen these go for 7-8 grand all done up. Genuinely curious if someone can explain why these jerkofs complain about it. Its rare af in states
@@PaladinJenkis Fist of all weather he ruined a car or not is subjective. If you paint it all one color its gonna turn more heads than a civic would with a legit kit. Anyway, my point is that people specifically call This car a piece of sh*t. But go ahead and find one, even in this condition 6 grand
Looks amazing!! The only thing I would change personally and idk if this is just unfinished but I don’t like how the wheel arch is the same size if not smaller than the tires themselves, just me but I like to see a decent sized gap all the way around the tire
This is so awesome❤. Makes me miss my old gti a lot. I have a custom Kart I’ve been working on and thinking I wanted to make something liek this for the body, if it gets a body lol. 😅
I saw a caddy with a sport Quattro flares on it that this reminds me of. So sick, you’re demented! 😮 😍 I just wish you’d made molds from the original shape instead of overlaying, you could’ve made MILLUNS!! Haha😆🫣🤑 jk but seriously….and I don’t even have a rabbit to put them on😅
Soon very soon I’m stockpiling parts right now but soon I’m doing a fuel cell new pedal box and all new brake lines sent my harness off to have it stripped down to a standalone harness and probably gonna 3d print side skirts
@@the2theonly672 WHAT? 😂 Respirator masks prevent many microscopic and scent-free particles from entering your airways during painting and renovation projects. Respirators offer protection against chemicals, harmful vapors and mold spores.
How did you attach that thing to the body of the car? I mean which type of riveting or fastener did you use can you specify it? Btw loved the build process and the final result 🔥

Yeah. It's kind of surprising how bothered people are. Just some young dude working on his car and probably having fun too. Geez

Screw the haters in the comments. Congratulations on having a one-of-a-kind car.
Thats what its all about.. we all have different flavors of fun
This is awesome. The algorithm has brought this to my attention in Sept 2023 and I think you did a great job on this. Thanks for sharing.
Damn, those are some really cool looking custom fender flares.
I like the overall look with the oil sealed surface rust and minty green paint.
Mint, brown and black really go well together. And that custom front bumper, so dope. I like how it has a "fisheye" effect at all times.
I just spotted the same style kit on J.C.Whitney for $149. Complete. But I think I'll do it your way. Way COoLER. Cheers
Mad respect, the form from foam was a head scratcher until the co$t savings were seen. Great work!
That is an incredible amount of hard work. That itself is a huge accomplishment. Only helps that it turned out sick AF! I love and hate the patina at the same time!! I agree with a lot of the comments. You should be making custom wide-body kit templates for a living
That's a lot of time and effort. I admire people who have passion for something. Great job!
So, let me understand this process:
Foam on
Shape foam
Hard putty filler?
Sand down
More putty filler?
Lay 1st fibre+resin (release compound needed here?)
Remove from car
Clean foam residue off the piece
Paint a primer coat?
Then finish with another layer of carbon fibre over that?
Finishing
Mounting
What else I'm missing from these steps?

Well done, I love when people do what they want with their car, you come up with a idea and made it yourself, that’s feels great
100%. So much better to try one yourself, you'll learn so much.
Your ride is SO COOL, man!
I dig the grungy look.

yo, thats so good looking. i love how perfect it looks even though its made in a garage.
they came out WAY better than i thought they were.... GREAT WORK

Don't over think all those long hours to make few extra bucks to pay for all that time and Labor... Looks good like the concept
@@nancysmith9487 makes no sense
Maybe wanted a one off car
It was my first go with composite work I realize that now but I can still make a mold off of these fenders if I want I appreciate you watching
The clever bit is how the wheels are used as the former. This method is ideal.
It looks a fun thing to do. Nice work!
I've never seen anything like this before. I am not a car guy. I am in complete awe of this man's skills, and anyone else who does this kind of stuff. Bravo!
Shit ton of work....looks pretty good for a home job! Nice!
Im doing simlar! 100hrs down, 10,000 to go! its on my channel!
Dude, that's the most beautiful VW Rabbit with Hakosuka inspiration. Keep on!
Keep up the good work. Everyone starts somewhere.
Nice fit! The real carbon fits your matte grey AMG CLS63 ! Nice job! I love how real your carbon is!
Nice work, dude. I wish I could do that!

Only 5,000 views?? Man this deserves more. Nice work.
I think it turned out great. Good work sir!
Love this! A lot of work but the result is insane considering the DIY nature of it. Subbed!
Once you had the final shape, and before you started applying the carbon fiber.... why didn't you use mold release and or wax?
These widebody are amazing :)
zbif_ indywidualwheel thank you
Great work . Keep up the vids!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate you
The old t-shirt respirator always there when you need it! 😂
Nice 👌 lots of work but the end results are nice
Excellent ! Lot of hand sanding 😃
Yes finally someone doing carbon work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice work! Question, what did you skim coat the foam with? Is that drywall compound? If so, what did you use to seal it prior glassing over it? Thanks
Very cool. Great work!
Do what you want its your car ,well done don't listen to these rats 😤
Some serious workmanship there mate nice dub
Bolted on fenders is not my thing but nice work 👌💪
I watched this video in Korea. respect for your job!👍 everything is my dream to do it like you do.
Really nice job. You can be legitimately proud!
You did a great job and I think you could afford to buy an air gun to apply the gloss finish!
Nice video!!!
Your an excellent and very committed dude
Damn… lotta work.
Fantastic job.
Great job dude! Looks cool! 😁👍👍👍
Not bd for,your first time. Definitely saw some things for improvement but that’s how you learn
How long did it take you real-time?
Wow that’s a lot of work but looks great!
Thanks I appreciate the kind words
Nice work. Is this video blowing up after 2 years? Or has it been steady traffic?
props dude that looked like a LOT of WORK

Dude for the garage this is awesome work. More power to those who make it instead of buying it 🤙🏼🙌🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for the love bro 😎
Nice work!
What filler are you using over the foam? I have done drywall/sheetrock mud before. PVA will keep it from sticking to your composite layup 👍
Did you do this with your final wheel and tire combo for fitment or is a new set of tires gonna rub?
Looks amazing!! The only thing I would change personally and idk if this is just unfinished but I don’t like how the wheel arch is the same size if not smaller than the tires themselves, just me but I like to see a decent sized gap all the way around the tire
I can appreciate the hard work. But for me rolled fenders and Ats cups or Rondel turbos look amazing on a mk 1/2 vw.
Good for you, man! Looks awesome!
That was fucking badass bro really enjoyed the video think I'm going to try this on one of my trucks thanks 🤙🤙🤙
Great job bro
How are the wheels supposed to rotate and turn?
Probably by rotating and turning
Details details
Nice built, lot of work.
Wonder if ocean gate didn't get there idea here
Alot of work for bolted on panels?? Is this to make a overlay for a entire fender? so its clean?
This is so awesome❤. Makes me miss my old gti a lot. I have a custom Kart I’ve been working on and thinking I wanted to make something liek this for the body, if it gets a body lol. 😅

What is the coating he's putting on the carbon fibre?
its a fairng compound , you can make your own using epoxy and microballoons
