I dunno, next time I have a problem I'll just do the same thing I normally do...listen to one of you two or Cody, lol. I'm way to lazy to pull the whole thing out and take pictures right now....being it's night time and i'm real lazy...how about like next Saturday....We have plans to attempt to put it on ourselves on Friday. Any advice?...besides don't F*ck it up, of course, lol.

I really have no advice about putting the kit on seeing how I never attempted it but I am kinda upset that I have to wait a week to see the pics. although it will be better to see pics of it on the car verse it just sitting on the ground.

Fiberglass kit... All i have to say is have fun if it dosn't fit, but a dremel will be your friend for trimming if need be. Nice pick up!

09-24-2006, 10:14 PM
Yea have fun with it, gonna need like 3 people to help you, only thing that might fit are the side skirts and even them u gotta trim, back bumper is gonna be hell, so be ready lol

Cavalier2000
09-25-2006, 10:20 AM

Correct me if im wrong. but with body kits urethane is the way to go right?? because its flexible but yet still durable?

MrR0b0t0
09-25-2006, 12:03 PM
Hmm actually urethrane is supposed to be the same kinda stuff stock bumpers are made of. Its alot more flexible and durable, but if you break it, you have to buy a new one. Unlike fiberglass, which can be re-fiberglassed if needed. Kinda both have the ins and outs, but i'd still stick with urethrane just cuz its less of a headache.

Cavalier2000
09-25-2006, 12:39 PM
they both are good in some ways and bad in other, but IMO if you have bumpy roads and dips and things like that it is almost better to get fiber glass so you can take it off once a year a fix it lol or I helped a kid get out of the snow once and we had to cut a piece out of his front bumper to get him pulled out, then we went home and glassed the piece back on lol, but lets hope that doesn't happen to any of ya'll

um...Sorry, lol. Okay way too much happened there so to clear it up

#1. yes I remember the christmas story now

#2 I'm Italian..*shrugs*

#3 I can't take pictures b/c it's raining and I don't have any room in the garage right now. Partly b/c there's a giant box in the corner, a tiki bar in the other corner, and then the other 2 vacant spots are vacated with 2 cavaliers, lol....Okay I might try later, lol...

#4 Bodykit arrived cracked :( however it is fiberglass and it is very unnoticable seeing how it is on the bottom lip right besides the hole for my muffler. Precision cut, muffler fits in the hole and sh!t. Plus a little bit of resin and we'll fix that right up.

#5 Sorry if you didn't like my thread, thought I would liven some things up..plus like a crap load of people replied.

I had a reason to unpack mine... I ordered the kit from karo @ carcustoms.net under the circumstance that the type-j side skirts would be replaced with the Import fighter 4 door ones. Which when i recieved the shipment they weren't there, so I was on the phone with Karo while the Freight truck was still at my house. It was his error and i had the correct parts a week later. As a result i have a brand new set of type-J side skirts sitten in my basement with no buyer or Use for em.





... And i am a pic whore. :)

Hmmm, kinda makes me wonder if I wanna spend the $200 for them afterall, only to get them and have them leak.Well when your buying stuff from ebay then your always taking a chance of the product being crap. You could always buy them and use the silicon like cody said, but that kinda defeats the purpose of buying something nice. You dont want to spend the money on something that looks good only to have to do work to it and potentially make it look bad.

Derk_eliso
09-26-2006, 04:31 PM

I would just take some black silicon and run a clean bead on all the seams.

Looks good for a diy job with no tools or experience. Most that I have seen do not mount flush to the fenders, nor are they level across the top. I am with everyone else tho...do you have money saved up for a paint job or are you just gonna leave it white? Most people go for the sleeper look but if you wanna go for the ricer look thats cool too! haha jk man, looks good. Oh and btw Metallica Rocks!

Not to steal your vidoe glory, but I got those dam mounts on. AHHHHHHHHH! Ok, now that outta me... that was one most annoying and time consuming thing I have done to this car. Its always that dam lower mount. Cuz you know when you have to use a truck to get it in place... theres not even a word to describe it. AHHHHH seems to work fine tho. Butttttt, I really doi like the outcome of this day, extremly shakey at idle, and almost no engine movement during shifts or taking off. =D One step closer to that turbo.

i was reading an instructional thing from ebay, like a tips and tricks deal, on buying body kits off ebay, lol and it said to inspect the pieces for cracks while the driver is still there...yeah it took me like 10 minutes to open the box and lay the pieces out, lol. There was like 40 staples in the top of that, and on top of that, each piece was wrapped in small bubble wrap, then re-wrapped in big bubble wrap, with styrofoam pieces inbetween each piece....needless to say, it took awhile to get them all out, lol.

Derk_eliso
10-02-2006, 10:51 PM
oh well. I repaired it tonight, and I'm waiting overnight to see if it sets right. Then sometime this weekend we're going to try to get my back bumper on. For the front one, we had to hold it in place, and push the other side in, in other words it was 3 inches too wide, just like this back bumper is 3 inches too wide too. and I'm just afraid it will crack when we're bending it...I hope not :( Then on the side-skirts, we can get the two sides in just fine, but in the middle, it's not flush with the car...and on top of that, I'm not sure if you just like hold it to the car and screw it to the door panel and then fiberglass over the screws or...I'm still not 100% on that one.

Painting is many miles and many pennies down the road. Sometime in the spring I was estimate. I'm also getting a new car in February. WS6 Trans Am Firebird, 5.7 V8, Ram Air, 6-Speed Transmission, oh so nice. 0-boner in 2 seconds, lol.
