Well finally got the front end, fitment is not as good as I expected from other h-t users. I feel like alot of body work is going to be needed to make it look good. How many hours of prep before paint did it take most of you? Here's some pics so far...

 

For fiberglass in my opinion it looks pretty good...

 

looks good to me.

 

The pictures look much better than it does up close...

 

mine fit perfect but you also have to realize everything from the looks of it is after market ! cf hood, lights, maybe your radiator support? minor work though it looks sexy to me! we are getting one for lisa's car too!

 

Yeah, I hear ya. I know no 2 cars are the same, just asking those out there who have em if they had to do a bunch of bondo work to make em fit good or just prime paint and bolt up?

 

mine bolted up perfect on the crx but thats a whole different ball game work on shaving a little here and ther dont bondo fiber glass unless to fix small imperfections if you do ede work it will chip and break for sure!

 

Looks good. Fitment was on point not sure what your refering to as far as you not happy with fitment. I use to sell a ton of body kits a while back and that looks pretty good compared to what I use to see back in the F&F body kit days.

Nice work putting it on and to Callos as well. When painted update the thread.

 

I will update the thread as progress is made. Thanks for the feedback, maybe I'm just too picky?

The fenders,bumper, hood, and lights can all be manipulated to work together, but even with the stock stuff it can be a headache. For a fiberglass bodykit, that's A+ fitment. I find that once everything is painted, the gaps can be a little larger than we'd all think, as long as the gap is uniform all down the panel.

 

in the end you'll be a happy camper


looks good from here!

 

I'm gonna tweak on it some more tomorrow and go from there, I think it will be cool, just more work than I anticipated. Then again isn't everything? Lol.

 

looks clean!! Maybe just a little here and there but clean!!!

 

i think yours fits good i spent about 10 hours in prep and fitting mine which i think came out great... the body shop did have to work it a little bit also.... trust me when it gets painted it will look so much better

 

^^^ Bro, your front end is [freak]ing sick as [freak]!!!

 

thats is the sickest EK i have ever seen props budy! i hope lisa's car will look as sick as that when its done!

 

My kit fit very well, I was more than pleased at how well everything lined up. Even the corner lenses fit great. The gaps are pretty minimal. The fenders and bumper fit together very tightly.

 

my front end didnt fit all to well either. It cost me an arm and a leg to get it fixxed.

 

That doesn't look to bad to me, sounds like you are being picky.


If you want OEM fitment, buy OEM parts

Agreed, for fiberglass, that fit doesn't look too bad.

 

looks good to me post pics when it painted going to look sick

 

ya I think it doesnt look too bad. I mean its not 100% perfect, but with fiberglass, you can only get it so close with the molds. maybe a little sanding after it gets painted, i'll blend in better

 

looks fine to me.

 

Got EG, EK and DC kits in stock. We're the sales for the Callos front ends for now. If anyone needs it, please let us know.

 

i can vouch for that!
