i just got in the wings west rs series body kit and im wondering if anyone can give me some tips on putting it on. thanx

 

i can when i get home tonite...sorry tell u tonite

 

any time is good

 

thats the only body kit i actually like not to ***** out looking. looks almost stock in a way

 

thats why i decided to get it i hate the real rice looking kits

 

thats nice, that kit is like from the 80's

 

It should have come with instructions.

 

it did but i was wondering if there were any tips anyone who has put it on has like easier wasy to do something that the instructions dont say

 

make sure you put the door caps on first and then the side skirts, or you may have them not line up flush with eachother . What a mistake I made! The rest is remove and put on like stock. Maybe you might have to drill holes if they didn't have the bolt holes drilled like mine! Did I mention I had the fiber glass kit , but when I bought mine the urethane kit didn't come out till a year later.

 

mine is urethane so hopefully it'll be easier. why put the door caps on first

 

Clean the everliving hell out of the area the adhesive applies to. Just recently bought a '90 Civic HB with the WWRS Kit. Kit had been put on less than a year ago, and the side caps were starting to peel off. Really nasty looking. Also, a complete pain in the *** to clean and re-apply.

Clean, clean, clean.

What else? Uhm. One problem I have is when I open the doors fully, the door caps will rub a bit about a centimeter from the very front. I think the door caps were put on a bit too far up. They're flush with the stock door on the rear end. I think they're supposed to overlap a wee bit, but, since I bought it like this, I've never seen the instructions.

 

How much did you pick it up for?

 

its a nice kit.

 

On mine it was easier to put the sideskirts on first and then the door caps. The skirts are in a kind of fixed position while you can move the caps around a little bit. Good luck.

 

I just installed mine. ok..

The Side skirts will just stick on. You will have to remove your wheels to screw em in on the wheel wells though. Then put 2 or 3 screws through the bottom flage. The door caps sick on. YOu may want to take apart your interior door to see if you can get some screws in there.

The front bumper will not go on unless you cut some of your bumper support off. (The area on the bumper beam where the signal lamps are)
The front bumper will use the factory mounting brackets on the wheel well (white thingies)
Then there will be 3 screws on the front crossmember at the very top of the bumper.

The rear bumper is a bitch. The stock rear bumper fits into this little groove that the WW bumper will never fit into. So I took a reciprocating saw and cut that top lip off. Then I had to cut my muffler pipe off. Then put the WW on and just screw it on the top lip with 3 screws. Don't bother trying to find the factory holes to screw into...just make new holes yourself. Then again, you can screw the ww bumper into the wheel well.

Make sure you cut holes into the WW rear bumper to make room for the license plate lights! What a pain in the ***.

So ya, WW kits suck to put on, but they look very nice when done. I put about 8 hrs of labour into installing my kit. IM me if you have any Q's.

 

Very nice kit good choice

 

Every CRX has that kit, except me. Haha

 

The best advice i can give you is: you can never use too many self-tapping screws! Doesn't matter whether it's urethane or fiberglass. Don't trust the double-stick tape. It helps, but ultimately it breaks down. I had a doorcap fly off on the highway once. I used double-stick tape all around it and had 2 screws on each side. It tore itself free of even the screws! Believe me... use as many self-tapping screws as possible.

 

 

thanks for all the help!! i got it at new way autosports shipped to my door in louisiana for $590. where would i put the screws in the door caps? wouldnt that show?

 

Nah man, you havta take apart your door from the inside. Then screw em in. I must confess, I have yet to do the whole "screw the door cap in ****" cause I am lazy, but I just got my kit on, so I will do it sometime soon. Oh ya, stay with the stock CRX tails. Thank you.

 

i probably will i was just wondering what they would look like. but about the screws where do you put them in the door for the door cap?

 

Thats a good question because I have not screwed them in yet...they are just taped on. I think you can use the holes that were left from when you removed (or in my case, ****** broked off) the black trim. The holes I am talking about are from where the factory trim clipped in. Those holes should line up with the very top of the door cap. But I may need a second opinion here.

 

soulflyCRXsi do you have any pics? i'd like to see them

 

You also paid to much $590, ive seen them for $490-$495.
