If i have some fitment issues, will a heat gun work to make the fitment ok?

 

That's what I mentioned. The authentic Vertex has areas to bolt up to underneath the car. The rep doesn't. You'll just have to rely on the mounting places on the end. Just don't scrape it too much or too hard.

 

i have the vertex rep and all i have holding it on is a screw on each side...nothing underneath. its a very tight fit

 

^^^ thats good to hear. How was the fitment, did u have to do any adjustments?

 

not really it was spot on. more prep work for the paint such as sanding and filling little holes than anything else

 

^^^^^ thats good, i hope mine is good also then just getting it painted is all i have to do

 

Rahizzle, I wanna see it in person after you get it installed.

Have you taken care of your suspension noise yet?

 

take pics when doing the install I just got mine in

 

@ rizzy, sure man no prob. Yea i got that taken care of. THe endlink nut was loose thats what was causing the clunk with the swaybars.

Ill take pics, im just doing test fitting today and then ill take it to get it painted. You want me to take pics when test fitting or when its painted?

 

just curious to see how it lines up and what route you go about attaching it

 

Well, my friend looked at it and he said to just get it painted and see if the body shop can install it. Since there was like a 1/2 inch that needed to be pulled over he kinda didnt wanna mess with is since it was fiberglass.

Peter at Nextmod told me that i need to heatgun the edges on both sides to soften it up so it would be easy to pull over. Ill see what the bodyshop quotes me for installation and if its too much my freind said we could take a shot at it.

Since my car is black i guess i would be able to tell most fitment issues, well see what happens when it gets painted.

 

I suggest the body shop test fit it first and do any mods that are needed prior to paint. That's what was done to mine.

 

^^^^ yea thats what the guy said at the body shop, quoted me $233 for prepping/painting and installation

 

That's a pretty random number but right around a good price. My guy says $150-$200 per piece. He's my friend from going to paint cars with him for 15 years though. So DO IT!!!! Save yourself the hassle!

 

That not a bad of a price. I would rather have the shop do it and atleast if it doesnt come out rite they will fix it. Im paying $150 to get my one rocker pannel prep,painted and installed since i cracked my passenger side.
