Default DIY wide body

Hey guys I’ve decided to start a project and create my own wide body for my 2is 350 with a front bumper conversion. I would appreciate any tips as well as recommendations on which materials to use. If you’d also like to follow my build throughout this process my IG is @maxienco. Thanks guys <3

there are many ways to do this, bondo, foam, fiberglass, and metal.
metal is the best but is the most time consuming and needs actual skills to pull off.
it also depends on how wide you want to go; fender flares or full on widening of the fenders itself.

have you done body work before? it is not for beginners since you will be spending a lot of time and money learning.
what is the look you are after?
