Default My EK hatch front conversion is out of porportion?



Yeah, as you can see it's all out of porportion. What should I do to fix this? I'm not quite sure what's going on. I think it may be loose bolts? I'm not quite sure. Cus we can actually kinda pick up the front, it's pretty unsteady.

Are you talking about the spaces between the lights and front bumper? If so i would just loosen the bolts holding the headlights on and relign the headlight closer tot he bumper and tighten the bolts up. But if this is not what your talking about nevermind

The black bumper grills look like someone tried to rattle can it without taping off anything.

Hm, well if you look closely, the headlight is sticking out about 2 CM's. And the hood doesn't really close all the way. I'm just trying to get a perfect fit going on.

Stolen? what the.. I got these straight from password. Package 4 :D

Anyways, what I'm saying is, look at how the front conversion is applied. There all misaligned. The fitment seems terrible you know.

There is nothing wrong with the proportion... the alignment however I rarely EVER see a conversion that is as good as factory. Also does password use oem parts?

Is your car straight to begin with? May not even be the parts you're putting on there . . .

Hmm, I'm not sure. They said it was just bolt on. Anyways, I figured you guys knew what ment. I ment alignment Yeah the car is straight, a shop put the car on a frame puller and they straightened everything out.

They seem to fit just like all the other non OEM conversions I've seen. Those parts usually just don't fit that good.

This is a very good point... I was just joking with you about the proportion thing. If the parts aren't oem its hard to expect them to line up as oem would though.

I don't think so, they stated that it was a direct bolt-on at the Password JDM website. And yeah, the car is straight. I'll take the parts off later, I'm pretty sure the "subframe" is straight.

That's your problem right there. It won't fit right unless you get an experienced body shop to align the pieces. Trust me, I know. I bought their fenders when they were trying to pass them off as oem a little under two years ago.
