How To Make Your Own Custom Body Kit!!!
Basically all you have to do to make your very own CUSTOM CARDBOARD BODY KIT is make side skirts, front bumper, and rear bumper. Everything else for the car is optional. Stuff we made to pimp out the car were a hood scoop, rear spoiler, custom muffler, underbody lights, and spinner rims.
To make the front bumper:
1. Measure out the length of the bumper.
2. Cut pieces accordingly
3. Tape the bumper tastefully. If may help to do the bumper in 3 pieces. one for the direct front, and two others for the sides of the front.

To make the side skirts:
1. Measure out the length of the sides.
2. Do a rough tape on the length.
3. Cut out the door openings so the doors can open.
4. Tape that mofo on!

2. Dont forget to leave a hole for the muffler.

To make the rear spoiler:

2. Tape it securely together.
3. Make sure when attaching to the car that you leave space on the sides to hold it on securely.

To make the hood scoop:
1. Similar to spoiler except only use one piece of cardboard.
To make muffler:
1. Get a cup and tape it on the existing muffler opening.
To make Underbody lights:
1. Attach glowsticks to sides, front, and rear bumpers.
2. If glowsticks are bright enough, you can actually put them on the inside of the cardboard. In our case, our glowsticks sucked so we had to tape them on the sides.
To make Spinners:
1. Make rim shape.
2. Attach cardboard with bolt sticking out to existing hubcaps or rims.
3. Put spinner rim on the bolt and attach it with a nut.
4. Make sure that mofo is secure. (2 of ours came off in our first ride).
5. Make sure they are slightly loose so they can spin.
