NEED HELP my nismo replica wing is splitting and intense motors won't help me out
 
I purchased my nismo replica wing about 1.5 yrs ago from intense motorsports and now the the wing is splitting in the rear. I just called intense and they said that they can't help me out at all. So am I just **** out of luck? Can someone help me out at all with this situation? Thanks

Spliting ... how? Is it the CF one or the fiberglass one ?

more details about the "splitting" or pictures would help out.

The resin/catalyst on the wing was probably improperly mixed, not enough resin, high humidity, temperature etc factor into its flex/brittle ability or inability LOL. Take it to a body shop that has experience with fiberglass prob just needs to be patched, bondoed or resin added. Ive seen body kits that were so pourly made that you can snap pieces of it off with your fingers let along leave it on for years.

If you think you have the balls, get some fibgerglass mat, cloth, scrim bondo and good primer with a catalyst and fix it. Then get it painted.

Its been a year and a half why would they take reponsibity?

It more of a manufactuing problem not the retailer.

This is why you dont buy repicas. Cheap fiberglass = problems later :(.

Heres some advice. Goto you nearest bodyshop and get it fixed.

Have the body shop fill the crack in with resin or bondo sand it and remount the wing.

Learn your lessson and buy the real thing (it will cost you less money in the long run).

How long have you had the wing on your car? And whats the reason for putting INTENSE MOTORSPORTS as if its their fault?

Bubble Nov 22, 2005 05:05 PM

even with the real kit, manf will only carry one year warranty. SO yes, it is out of luck bro.
