Default Styrene question

I got my Bruiser body last night and have it soaking to remove the paint. I plan on picking up some sheet styrene to fill in the hole that's left after I cut off the sleeper cab thing. I've worked a lot with kydex before but not styrene. Here's my question- can you hit styrene with a heat gun and bend it into shapes like you can kydex? Appreciate any help.

Yup, Styrene can be formed using heat.

Yes, but there is a thin line between hot enough to bend and melting to a mess.
