Personally, there have been very few molded kits on a car that looked good to me. Stress cracks can become a major pain down the line as well. Not saying there hasn't been one done that I didn't like, but few and far between.

I wouldn’t do it. The probabilities of it cracking are major. And if there is allot of heat temps in your area, the edges possibly will bubble up. I have experienced that with the Veilside version 2 wing on our Z roadster.

My buddy had molded a kit on his car awhile back. He drove it out of the shop, hit a bump and it cracked. They redid it and it cracked a couple weeks later. I highly suggest NOT doing this.

mine is molded...I'll see if I can find some pics of the kit being molded for you. BTW if your shop doesn't know what they are doing, it will look like serious sh*t and cost a lot to get fixed.

Any pictures of the cracking on molded parts. Are they very noticeable?
Is remolding the only way to remedy the problem? Also how do you prevent this. Sorry for all the questions.

I would never mold a daily driver. Period. It is for show cars that are driven very little. Otherwise as people have said you will crack it. It is just a matter of time.
You need a body shop that has real skills. I have a molded kit. Have not driven it yet. No motor. Mine is show so I expect less than 3.000 miles a year.
