Default RE: Need Help with body customization

There are two ways to go about it, 

First you can try to reheat the body and press form the finders, however this is a very dificult method to do because one mistake and you ruin the rest of the body.  To do this you need to first make a mold of the finder for pressing on the finder.  Apply heat to the finder, heat it slowly and not to direct heat because it will start to burn the plastic.  The plastic will become soft so don't press anything besides your targeted area.

Second is to take some plastic resin or something similar, coat the finders thicker than you need and sand it down.  With this method you have to paint the outside of the body, but you can use a black you lick and coat with a dullcoat.  There is no lexan dull coat as far as i know but you're working on an onroad body so it won't be a big deal to finish it off with model dullcoat.
