No styrene is not anything like ABS. Im new to RC but Im a semi professional scale modeler for 50 years so model plastics I know. You could fab a styrene body and it would be far easier to work with. In the modeling world almost no-one works with ABS as its a nightmare. It chips and gluing it is next to impossible for a layman.
One problem with styrene will be heat as any styrene you use under .050 thick could warp in the hot sun. Find a couple new car dealer plates. The ones that have the dealers logo on them. Their free, made of .050 good quality styrene and you can experement using Tamiya liquid glues. Just sand down the painted areas prior, for the glue to adhere properly. Hope this helps.
