im about to buy 25lbs of fiberglass off of ebay, it comes in sheets, but i just want to know what else i need to get. I am fiberglassing my trunk for my system, and i might possibly do more once i get more experience but i am not sure what to get. I know i need some kind of epoxy or bondo or something like that but i need axact names, also im curious as to how much all of this will cost.

If I understand correctly, you are building a fiberglass sound system in your trunk. An auto parts store or body shop supply store will have what you need. You will need fiberglass mat material, some fiberglass resin, hardener, maybe some spreaders, and a few paint sticks to mix the hardener with the resin. Something like a big paper or plastic cup to mix the resin in with is good,too. Good idea to wear a long sleeve shirt and a good dust mask. Fiberglass dust is very itchy. It affects some people more than others. You will also need some sandpaper. Fiberglass mat material comes in several different thicknesses. Find a good book on fiberglassing or maybe a website. Do as much research as possible before going at it. The people at the body shop supply house can probably help out with some info, too. Always helps to read the directions. Not incredibly hard to do, just be patient. It might take a few tries to get the hang of it, but at the worst, you sand it down and try again. Most of the materials are reasonably cheap, but start up costs will be higher until you know what you're doing.

It'll cost a TON less if you buy it at a hardware store than off of Ebay. Talk to a reputable, honest car body mechanic and save your money and yourself from being ripped off blind.
