Rep Power: 330

I got my skyline bodykit yesterday from West Coast Spoilers, and their quality sucks. The gel-coat was filled w/ spider cracks, and chips. The chips were probibly due to the fact that they shipped all 5 pieces in one box w/ no buble wrap, foam wrap, foam peanuts, or any other form of padding. The front bumper fit ok, but it is a 2 piece with a lip and the fiberglass is warped where the 2 pieces join, so Im probibly going to have to trim the upper piece and then hand-lay some glass to make them fit together ok. The back fit great on the rear, but wanted to flair out about 8" on the sides, so even after forcing the corners to go in so that I could put screws in them in the wheel well there is still a very noticable bulge w/ a large gap on the sides. So iv descided that since it bulges out in a lat part of the bumper Im going to cut that section out and fill it w/ body filler when Im molding the rear bumber in. The side skirts are twisted, and the vents that were supposed to be cut out arent. So my only option to make the rear bumper/sideskirts look good is going to be to mold them in. Im not going to mold the front bumper though, being that im installing my turbo in the next six months, besides I will probibly crack the lower lip and have to replace it from time to time. Oh and one more thing the rear bumper wasnt even the one I ordered, but I dont feel like having to deal w/ their company anymore so Im keeping it.

I had a simular problem with Carisma. The streetfiyghter III fit perfectly from end to end but everything inbetween was way off. "my link" below will show you what I had to go thru in order to fix the front bumper. that took 3, 8 hr days alone. I can't imagine how long it's gong to take you. That is why unless you have alot of time or alot of money you buy Name Brand ONLY. Top of the line saves you ALOT of money. TRUST Me and RiceBurner

BTW the first pic on my site is the bumper and i have already cut off the engine mounts due to the fact they were a good 15 degrees off and hard as cement. When i remolded them I left a lil flex in them which allows for the fiberGLASS to absorb sudden tire renching impacts a whole hell of a lot nicer. I finish my bumper off within the next month. I have had it for 3 months in the original boxes, 3 months on my car, and soon it will be perfect.

SInce i did all the work myself and with no experience prior i left the bumper unpainted as i tested it's durability throughout the winter. Winter is NOW OVER


Good Luck [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

i recently purches the octane sides from a member here.. they are fiberglass.. but it shouldnt be too bad if im careful. im probably going to order the Urethane octane front and maybe the reear in a few weeks. from what i see and read the octane kits fit pretty well
