#59069, "Problem with my rear blitz bumper..."




          

We got it all fitted up, uhh, yeah well... the part where it meets the wheel well is like set in 1/2 an inch or so... it looks like shit, how the fuck would you go about fixing that? Chances are I'll just put it on and try to live with it... I got this kit from AeroTrends.com and they pretty much can suck my dick, because the fitment BLOWS.... post up some pics of how your aftermarket bumper fits up there and if it had problems fitting, tell me what you did to make it look better.... I actually want to see some bad fitment pics to see what i't would look like with paint... I'm not going to "settle" I'm just a perfectionist and I'd just like to see pics to see if what I'm seeing is actually that bad.





THANKS!

No one cares! I thought about it for a bit I think I'm going to mold the back bumper into the rear of the car?! Don't ask how but I'm gonna do it... something tells me this is going to take longer than I thought. Well... wish me luck, I still need pics of how your blitz rear fits.
PEACE

Its doesn't go far enough that way ----> so, the wheel well line is like broken, you see what I mean now? if now hit me back and I'll try to explain a little better... thanks for the help man....

Unfortunately that's the way body kits are most of the time. They just don't fit right and it takes a lot to get them to fit. I really wouldn't recommend molding the rear if it's a daily driver because eventually it will crack. Here's the only pic of my blitz rear that I had:

The middle under section was cut out on mine and it let the rest of the rear flex more so it fit up a little better.

yo chip what's up man, that sucks about your bumper dude what a bummer. I can't wait to see it all finished! also are you talking about the side piece hanging too far in towards the wheel? if so just cut it down and smooth it out

Are both sides like that? You may be able to slot the mounting holes. You know so you can slide the bumper back and forth. And this is a very common situation with body kits, no two cars are every made exactly the same and when the manufacturer designs a kit they will test several cars and make the kits fit some where in the middle. So there are always fitment problems and alot of fabricating involved. But imo it's worth the headache to see your ride transform into something else in the end.

Yeah, well it didn't come pre drilled... it just seems a bit small... I hope mine comes out looking half as good as that yellow one up there...JESUS!

I don't know I need to go fuck with it a bit... its like I need to build more bumper... I'll figure it out. I like those low sideskirts... I got the high ones...I'm rambling..

Its a sad fact but most, if not all, rear blitz bumpers fit horrible.





I would use bondo to fill in the areas your having problems with. My rear had major problems with the rear quarter panel area on both sides, under the passenger side tail lights, and the whole area above the license plate.

I'm confident enough to say that most, if not all, have had problems with their fiberglass blitz rear.
