body kit installition ###HELP###

[blitzedeclipse]

i have a 1999 eclipse. the body kit has been on for about 8 months now but i had the front clip repainted today and i need to put it back on. Is it something i could do tonight in my driveway or what. Just so you know it is a blitz kit.

thanx

i hope you fitted it to your car before you painted it, because to get a correct fit with most kits you need to sculpt it out with bondo. or are you talking about just taking the front bumper off, cause thats easy

 

[blitzedeclipse]

i am just putting the front bumper back on. I will fit perfict because it has been on for a while. But i hit a curb and crunched it up that is why it is off in the first place.

To help you install the bumper, it should be heated. Try leaving your car idling when you start working on the installation. If the room doesn't heat quickly, you can shut the garage door to make the bumper skin more pliable. Don't worry if it takes some time to heat it, it will work, just make sure you keep moving the skin.

what??? why would you do that??

to put the bumper back on there are 2 bolts where the fender meets the bumper, 4 bolts along the top where the bumper meets the hood. those should be all the bolts you need because you removed the bumper support

are those rivets in the side by the fender?

That is the recipe for asphyxiation. I like to tell people with N/A's and body kits to kill themselves.

Yeah, wish I could afford something that increases wind resistance and effectively slows down my car. Oh, poor little me. Maybe someday I can get that junk bolted onto my chrysler powered FWD...

I'm not endorsing body kits either way, but I think Ide rather have a really good looking decently fast car than an extremely fast sihtty looking car. Just my opinion.

 

[chrysler kid]

haha im sure your girl friend enjoys riding around in something fast not good looking.
