here's some advice man, do not mold the kit, aside from it looking nice to begin with it's more of a pain then you want to deal with.
if it's your daily driver i strongly suggest against it, but if it's a show car thats another story
my friend has his drift kit molded to his cavy, one peice, i admit it looked nice but the trouble that came along with it...wasnt worth it
here's the problem with doing it, you will have to redo the "molding" job whenever you happen to hit a curb or just bottom out the seal will break and no matter how hard we tried there were always cracks. we molded it with fiberglass and bondo and we remolded it about 6 times before he ditched the cavy for a golf.
it's just a warning of the pains to come if you do it. but if you do i suggest put a layer of fiberglass along the back of the kit then put a layer of bondo over that and on the front bondo it and be ready with a powersander and lots of sandpaper.
