Razzi kit question

[fisdad]

So I am about to install a Razzi kit on my car. I have the Oldsmobile front license plate bracket on my OEM bumper. I was wondering if the bracket would bolt onto the Razzi kit without any issues or will I need to dremel it out to accommodate the lip kit?

zip tie it onto the mesh

haha. I don't do mesh. It's to ricy for my taste. I like more of a 90's street look. Plus I have my kisk as Oldsmobile front plate that needs to be front and center.

See how pretty it is ;)

Man I'm so glad Michigan doesn't require us to have a front license plate.

so are non functional hood scoops.

so are non functional hood scoops.

Im going for a similar look as the Intrigue 442 which also had non functional scoops and didn't look at all ricy other than the rear spoiler which would have been fine had it been an inch lower.

Indiana doesn't require a front plate but I have an Oldsmobile plate that I like on that bracket.

FYI, the Intrigue 442 scoops were functional.

Then the site I was looking at was wrong about it. I LOVE the way that car looks! I'd give a leg for that thing if I could drive it, but I don't think it can be driven?... something about the title was my understanding... sad.. but I suppose you could buy another Intrigue and just move all of the good parts to it. :haha:

Iv always liked the osv intrigia better then alero.

We are talking about the 442 Concepts, not the OSVs.......

No it wasn't. Sorry kyle.

Same here in Québec so i just remove that ugly thing out of the front bumper , looks so much better now without it :biggrin:

[kwhauck]

No it wasn't. Sorry kyle.

hmmm from the pictures I have it sure looks like it.....

[fisdad]

I was looking here. It looks like this lucky sob owns it... I can't stop drooling!

Anyone in the Indianapolis area know anyone who installs body kits? This is to easy to mess up and I want it to look perfect when it's done. I'm thinking about installing the Razzi bumpers and nixing the Razzi skirts in favor of the stock GAGT skirts that should just bolt right up. If not, I'll have to mold the fender and quarter flairs of the GAGT skirts onto the Razzi skirts which sounds annoying.

no experience in body work please dont attempt it, if you are clueless about installing a body kit and molding a kit the correct way so it does crack and it will bond, DONT DO IT!!

if ya do and dont heed my advice guys like me will take a look at it, and you will be charged double and or triple to redo and fix what you call "body work"

now i will offer my services my woman lives in nw indiana schererville to be exact and ill be more then happy to install this kit, of course for a fee

so its your choice

[mfuller]

When I had mine done, I took it to a place by my home that does collision repair. They had done excellent body repair work for me in the past, so I knew what to expect. They said they have never had an easier-fitting ground effects kit, but that can be attributed to the fact that it goes on over the stock faschias.
In any case, they seam-sealed the Razzi front and rear air dams, and added rivets to get the rocker extentions to stay in place. It was not molded to the factory body pieces. It turned out really well, but everyone gave me a hard time for what I spent to have it done.
I'd rather pay a professional to do it and know that the job was done right the first time.

[Papa Rad17]

^^the cost to get an improper install fixed will easily top the price of paying to get it done right the first time. they would know, as I do from experience as well.

Im still waiting for a story from bdyman

[bdyman]

i gave my response its his choice

PM'd

[fisdad]

Well I thought I'd PM, but someone doesn't like to be contacted so here it is...

BDYMAN, this one's for you

I am clueless about this. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my car and I know damn well when to let a professional do the work. This is one of those times unfortunately. Yeah, I'm sure I could get the kit on there, but it would never look like it should and that would be a waste of money and time.

That said...

This is a Razzi kit Plus the GAGT door stick on moldings as well as the GAGT fender moldings that will need to be molded smoothly onto the Razzi skirts somehow. I'm sure you know how. Also, I'd like the lips bolted on from behind if possible. I met with a body guy that specializes in full restoration today that suggested using "toilet bolts" on the back side of the top of each lip kit spaced every 4 inches and drilling into the original bumper and bolting on from behind. He called this "body welding". Is that something you have done or would recommend? I just don't want to get bumped in a parking lot and have the kit shift or have the seam come unseated because of some idiot.

Also, what price range are we looking at? I'd love to have a member of the community do the work if possible. You know, keep all the cash "in the family" so to speak.

I got quotes today and one was $1500 to install and fit the kit plus paint the kit, front and rear bumpers, hood and up to the bottom of the window trim for $1500. No, it wasn't Maaco.:coolio: It was a legit shop that does a lot of this kind of thing.

so I have been stressing out trying to figure out how to afford dual exhaust look on my car after I get the Razzi kit on... Turns out, for $20 at my local pic and pull I can get the muffler and tips from a GAGT and bolt it right on! That's much better than the $350 I was quoted for a flowmaster! I can almost afford to get it done!

shits so damn expensive these days. oh well, just a few more months before the zombie apocalypse then everything will be free!! :awesome:

[JLw7123]

350 for an catback exhaust installed is not bad at all.

[fisdad]

It's not a catback it was just a flowmaster muffler with the tips "custom made" they said

I can buy a catback pacesetter for 350 and install it myself, but I just want the muffler for now to complete my razzi kit until I can afford better.

oh 350 sounds kinda steep for just to install a muffler.

my flowmaster was only $30 to get put on. the most beautiful welds iv ever seen. 350 crazy.

[JLw7123]

on my alero it cost me 80 bucks for the muffler and installed everything else. The welds are not the best but the are still holding together. i had some help bending the 2.5 inch piping.

[fisdad]

Yeah, I felt like it was pretty steep. I looked online and just the flowmaster muffler was more than 80. I'd still need to get the pipes and tips and install it too which I figure would run another 50 or so. The factory GAGT with some new tips will work for now and I'm sure that I can install it myself since it should just bolt right up.
