only asking because a fully custom body can be a hell of a lot of work, and carbon fiber requires heat and pressure to cure from what I've read.

if you're riveting pre-made flares to the fenders, then that's a piece of cake.
no, not whole body. not nesscary, not enough time(I think). I'd like to do the same front and rear(rivit and rivit or molded and molded)

if I go with 12 in rear flares it wil probably be molded 13 inch will be rivits.
