my wings west kit photos

im not sure what to do about that gap under the lights, any way i try to position it it just is there, maybe if i put some eye lids on it, just on the bottom and not the top i can just cover it up, the eibachs are on back order i should recieve them on wed, but im pleased with the way it looks so far,

doesnt the bumper reinforcement come somewhere under the headlights??If it does then maybe you could stuff something off in there to push it up a little.

i did try pushing up from underneith it, it might help a little, if i can get it even enough, but i wanted a more permenent solution... i dont want to have to fill it in with fiberglass and bondo,

i was thinking maybe some styrofoam or something or maybe a chunk of rubber. lol i dunno....just trying to give you some ideas

 

[microbionic]

thanks buddy, i think i may try a hunk of rubber. other than that, how does she look

 

[2k3 PrO RiDa]

She looks damn good!I used to not like that too too much but everytime i see pics of that body kit now i want it more and more! Im just not too fond of the wing because its a lil high imo.

Looks great. Very clean. I suggest you pull the lower grill mesh and paint it black. It sticks out to much and doesn't go with the rest of the theme.

good call, what kind of paint should i use for that, and should i use clear coat after. thanks fellas


the eibachs are comming on wed, they shouldhave been on there already but they where on back order, trust me itl get done

I've always had good luck with VHT products. Used it for their Trim Black paint and it worked great. I would use a clear coat for sure. I hear that mesh can rust easily.

Did you remove the black plastic supports underneath the headlights when you installed the bumper? They say that they have to be removed but I lowered them slightly so that they could just clear the bumper. It made for a much tighter fit but also eliminated the gap.

they are the piaa fogs, 540. i dont think the Ae grill will fit, take a closer look , its a diferent bumper than the one for the mp3, it is made for the regular sedan, diferent shape. i was expecting to get the grill but now i see it wont fit. and the gap is damn big.. i will be peeling the bumper down in the morning so i can see if i can rig somthing to support the saggyness, needs a BRA,

Awesome man. I never realized yours was a ES. Did this kit come with wheel wells and such? Did you feel that the urethane material was oily? sorry if these questions sound wierd, but thats the problems i've heard. Looks great man! where'd you get yours? how much?

the kit was designed for the regular sedan all the way down to the wheel wells, it fits perfectly except for the headlights, i just ripped the front down and im tring to figure out a away to raise them up, without making it look distorted, i may have to fabricate some inserts that shape the lights, i dont know. the material was coated with some sort of oil ,byproduct of manufaturing prolly. i got mine from a speed shop called car toy store here in ohio. the kit ran 690, and the fogs ~200, it took 4 months to get in, wings west aparently went bankrump ahwile back and making body kits as you order them, i love the quality over all with wings west kits, but come on, every one here has had problems with those damn headlights, REFRABRICATE the bumper mold, geezzz

Damn, I just got my bumper painted today and I cannot for the life of me get it to fit onto the bumper. Is this normal? One side will line up and the other wont. I really dont care much about scratching it since the panit job sucks and is chipping already. Any thoughts? did you get any instructions? This seems like it should be straightforward but its not.

You can get the kit fairly close, but to get it really good, you will have to have the kit cut. My shop cut a slice out of the kit under the headlights and then glassed the kit back together. It got rid of the saggy material under the headlights and also made the kit fit much tighter against the front fenders.....

how much will something like that cost after cutting, painting, and installation (assuming they installed it for you)?
