DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I installed my Veilside Front Lip today, first off the Carbonfiber version is soooo damn tight, their is abosolutely no flex.. So what happens, I break the edges tring to fit it properly about half inch on both sides..and also a slight crack in the middle of the kit... Im so freakin pissed... my question is .... 1. Can I fix this?? 2. Do I return this? 3. What can I do???


Thanks

 

OK 71 views and no responses..that sucks...

 

ask a couple bodyshops in your area......they should be able to repair it. a few others have done similar already.....

 

thanks for the reply

 

check with bodyshops in your area, they should be able to repair it......others have done the same.

 

If you have the time and don't have the cash, you should return it... also write a letter and tell them what a poor quality this sweet kit has... or else.. just spend more money to repair it, but find a experienced body shop to do this... or else ...hahaha.. you know what will happen.

there is my 4 cents input... good luck

 

Me! I just spent over $4000 on installation and repair fiber glass. My bumper craked 4 times now. Each time I have to spend $400 to $600 to fix and repaint whole bumper. For Fact fiber glass could get fix, but carbon fiber... not sure, but i will find out soon for you.

 

sounds like cracked clear coat. that should be an easy fix. Because the kit fits so tight, you have to be very careful when mounting it.

 

I got off the phone with Veilside , I was complaining about the kit and the tight fitman .. The guy was all defensive and saying " I sold 90 kits and I never had a complaint" this and that... anyway Veilside is working on a poly kit that's supposed to be this wierd material it's gonna be released in a couple months...

 

I will post up the picture later. You will be so amaze! 10 out of 10! If it was clear coat crake, I will be happiest man on earth. I really hate fiber glass!!!

 

Do this; get some dyno spray, it’s like dynomat but in a can, spray on the inside, this spray act like a compound that keep thing like fiberglass and carbon fiber from break. And if it do crack, the crack will not don't spread threw out the hold kit. The only down fall is that it make your kit heavy and sometime it don't fit at all. To do it your self you have to be, you have to be pretty handy to get an even coat. If you want to try this out go to your local stereo shop and ask them about the spray. And in order to fix the CF lip you have to get a CF pad that have the same design. It's like tape; you just match the checker design. Then you clear coat it. I guy I use to know did that for my CF lip on my RSX. You can't even tell. It lasted for a while until I hit something on the freeway. So I threw away the kit. So if want to know where to get the CF peace, you should go to a plastic store, they should have something like that. If they don't have it you should get some raw CF material, that where I got mine. So good luck!

 

first, post pictures.

 

Man, I don't like to hear this, I've wanted this lip for a while, but I've heard too many stories about them cracking or arriving chipped.

Now I don't know if I should get it, which sucks, cause I thinks it looks boss.

 

Body kits(Version 1 or 3) looks real good. You will fall love into it. But Keep in one piece is very hard. Tomorrow I will post up the pictures(all the problem areas). I just came from vaction.
