fiber glass won't fill in the large holes as well.



fiber glass is usually used for structural integrity but by melting the plastics it provided enough so i only needed filler and bondo is alot better at that.
fiberglass WONT fill in large holes?



I beg to differ?

well i never said it wouldn't.



i said - "as well".



and it was in the context of this operation too so this does not apply to all scenarios



just use normal bondo and some fusion paint. I used 50, 150, 350 on it.



the 350 was a sponge i used on with the wet sanding.

i hope you test fitted the relocated swtiches/controls/buttons. from the looks of it, you wont be able to fit all of the stuff underneath without banging on the tranny tunnel. how do i know? cuz i did my own. all the best to you ..

I would rather use fiberglass matting with epoxy resin

then use only bondo. It will be alot stronger and will

last longer.

Yeah losing my elbow space is what would bother me, always hitting the know would make me afraid that i end up breaking one or more of them.

I was going to say something but then i read this....If you do this mod make sure you'll be happy with the relocation there. With spirited driving you may hit your elbow on the ***** and break/crack something. not to mention some pain in the funny bone LOL I know people need the room for other items but in my opinion the best thing to go there is the JDM arm rest. So much nicer on the elbow.....
