This Sucks

[shiny alero]

so i attempted to put my combat kit on today...i new i was gonna have problems when i releasized there was no pre drilled holes. then it didnt even come close to fitting right...so to make things worse there is only 1 shop who does body kits in my aera and they are telling me its gonna start at 1500$....does any 1 no any shops in the WNY area that install kits???? please let me no i have to find a cheaper price.

[whiteliquid]

umm ya you have to drill the holes there buddy.

If the fit is real bad...1500 isnt bad for paint and install

[TwistedDreams]

im sure you can find another place in atleast a 30 mile radius... and that is average pricing

[shiny alero]

Shitty, so much for the...they just bolt up like the stockers i heard about lol

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

call collision shops too. Might be able to plug the body kit onto your insurance in the same place.

lots of dealers on there too, so you gotta actually read it. lol

[whiteliquid]

i think you heard about the razzi bolting up...


thats funny cuz the razzi doesnt "bolt up" maybe the side skirts i guess you could say that.

[shiny alero]

okay, now the initail shock of that price is gone lol, im thinking i can have this project done by mid july this year, sooner if i pick up some side work.

[2fst4u]

wow, you gave up pretty easily. all you have to do is TRACE THE HOLES AND DRILL!!! have a buddy hold it in place, or use tape to hold it in place while you line it up and drill holes. some washers, and don't over tighten.
maybe ppgnut was right...

[shiny alero]

its not the drilling...the kit doesnt line up to the body right, it has to be cut near the tail lights

[SweetNLow]

haha


i love it

[2fst4u]

get some assistance from you father, or whoever you said was going to paint it. don't give up so quickly.

[shiny alero]

im not, im still going to try..i will post a pick and highlight were it isnt fitting becuase it is hard to explain...give me about 5- 10 min to get it up

[shiny alero]

it wont let me post this pick, it said pop up blocked but i turned my pop up blocker off n e idea's?

[shiny alero]

okay here it is

[shiny alero]

okay...from the amount of encuragement i got...i talked with my dad and grampa and im going to do it all myself with them guiding me. we are going to do it in the spring when it is warm since its fiberglass and delicate. so it is only going to cost me paint!..thank you guys for not putting me down on this 1, probly saved me alot of money! you gave me hope!! lol

[clutch1]

I always thought the AAS kit wasn't fiberglass, ya learn somethin new everyday!

[shiny alero]

^^^ technicly it might not be...i got this on ebay listed as a combat kit and the packing was cnk enginering or something like that (sorry, bad speller)

[cavaliers60]

Looks good the way it is in the pic. :D :jk: Hope it all works out for ya..

[shiny alero]

now thats what you call a shaved rear end lol

[Gr1m]

Shitty, so much for the...they just bolt up like the stockers i heard about lol
the AAS kit is a bolton, you need to drill the holes for it though, its a full replacement for the stockers

[shiny alero]

i guess the kato combat is slightly differant or i got a defective 1

[whiteliquid]

lets see pics of it...u may have got screwed by an ebayer lol..But im sure its the same...

[shiny alero]

it looks identical

[shiny alero]

i got it from ebay seller....the body kit store

[whiteliquid]

Yea its the "duraflex" one or whatever....It bolts on

[shiny alero]

im guesing it takes alot of fu**ing around to get it on right to bolt up? or was just being paranoid about breaking it

[whiteliquid]

Yea you should definitely take your time and not rush...thats prolly the number one rule (as is with any mod). It may just not fit right though. Im guessing you bought the cheaper one thats only like 500 shipped...if thats the case the fitment most likely wont be right and you will end up paying the extra to get it to fit right

[shiny alero]

so far from the looks i just have to trim it in some spots...i think it will look good when im done

okay well i did get a F***ed up 1 from ebay with alotta help from my grandfather its all comming together great. i should have pics by mid week and it should be complete by next weekend.

[DOHC_tuner]

Once you get it 2 fit the body and it still looks a little akward, just mold it onto the body, cause this is what im going to do cause my kit U can see seems between the kit and the body.

ONE WAY 2 TO EXPLAIN THIS S**T

THEY MAKE 3 STAGES IN BODYKITS!!!!

THE FIRST IS THE REAL DEAL MADE TO FIT THE VEHICLE IT WAS DESIGN FOR.
SECOND VERSION OR STAGE 2 IS A COMPLETE MOLD OF THE FIRST WHICH IN GIVEN CASESS WILL LOOSE THE ALIGNMENT OF THE KIT TO FIT PROPERLY.
AND LAST BUT YES THE LEAST THE STAGE 3 IS A KIT MADE FROM HAND WITH NO KIT TO MOLD ON TO BUT JUST THE IMAJINATION.

[[ion] C2]

Should put up a How-To for installing both body kits we're able to speak of. I'll be getting an AAS sometime and will only pay for painting, so I'll be in the same boat soon enough. :coolio:

[shiny alero]

the only problem im really facing with it looking bad is a gap under the headlights...but thats normal with a stock bumper lol...i am going to mount something underneath to lift it. so i think its going to come out pretty decent im also going to shoot expandafoam inside it. im not gonna mold it becuase its not looking any differant bolted up then the stockers.

[NYorkrider]

u probally bought the cheap knock off kit for cheap off ebay if u bought the real one off of andys auto sport it would probally bolt right up but idk, my buddys got a shop up here he will prolly charge aroudn 800ish to insal it I have no clue but if you feel like drving ill ask him lol

[shiny alero]

im already most of the way done but thanks anyway

[pimpalero2003]

mie was from aas and it hit the same area just had to shave a little there
