65851, little kit help!
Posted by brent12, Jan-27-04 06:46 PM
Hi, im kinda new to this but i need some help out..

i took my car down to a shop called 'auto evolution' and got a full Blitz body kit.. the kit is in great shape.. but when i was haveing it installed he told me it wouldent take more then 3-4 days.. so i said fine.. after almost 2 months later after tonz of arguments he is finally finished.. the kit sits really ugly like.. it is like a half inch out from the car (heres a little picture i drew up.. if im not makeing sence)

---------------------------------
(this is what it looks like)

---------------------------------
(this is what i want it to look like)

(Hope this kinda helps)
---------------------------------

i want to know how i can mabye sand down the edge so it looks better molded to the car.. i would have let the shop finish it.. but i was pissed at them to much to let them keep it.. also with the screws.. there screws pop out.. what type of screw should i replace it with so its flat?? thanks alot with any help..


ALSO one more thing.. when i got the car back the front bumper is extremly wobly.. like if im going 80ish on a freeway i can see my headlights bumping up and down on a reflection of anouther car.. is there supposed to be some sort of braces from under the car to the bottem of the bumper?? plz help.. ! thanks

it will take alot of work on your part. it will take TIME. sanding it down to that poit will be tireless because you have to make it look evened out and natural. using bondo to cover up mistakes.

with the front bumper most likely isnt on there very well. take if off of there and rescrew it to the fenders and to the inner brackett.

your gonna need to step back and look at the car. everything on it is bolted there with screws so you just need to find them and loosen them.

to drill the best screw start a small hole with a small drill bit, and what i use to hold a bodykit on are short wood screws that will crate their own thread in that tiny hole when you screw them in

How about taking them to court? I hate shops that start screwing the "little guy" over.

ok this is one of my problems.. i think! is there supposed to be nothing touching the bottem of the front bumper? cause the way they put it on mine is ONLY screws on top.. (inbetween the headlights and fenders) Theres nothing touching anything else.. so if i push on the side of the bumper is kinda bends and puts out on the other side! i dont know really how to explain so i will take a couple of photos of my bumper 2morrow.. its 12 now so im goin to sleep

ps.
i dont want to deal with that shop anymore.. and yes i will take the time to do it nicely.. thanks!
