I am trying to install a Duraflex Type-M Front bumper and type-m sideskirts. I did not think the kit would need so much modification. If anyone has any info to help, beside "Take it to a bodyshop", please let me know. I read something about the bodykit going over the factory sideskirts. Is this true?

 

someone tried those thinking the same thing and ended up spending a ton of money at the body shop just to get it on his car. i saw these awhile back, looked like a good deal but after hearing that i would stay away.

good luck.

 

Right, it seems like a lot of work to get it on. I am getting close but I am having trouble with the front turn signals.

 

Aftermarket body kits shouldn't be installed by anyone else other than a body shop who's experienced in working with fiberglass. 99.9% of the time the body kit will NEVER fit right out of the box.

Sorry to bust your bubble dude.

 

I'll figure it out. I'm pretty Crafty!

 

Ive fastened after market side skirts to the OEM side skirts before and they worked out fine

 

it's FRP not fiberglass. but then again, they're almost the same thing.

good luck with the bodykit. i'd love to have a mugen front but i'd rather not deal with what you're going thru. almost makes it seem easier to source a legit mugen from someplace.

 

I was told that www.extremedimensions.com were reputable. So I went with them. That is the last time I will buy anything from them. Then again once I purchased the kit, it did come with a liability waiver stating that I should have it installed by a body shop, because it may require modification in order for it to be installed correctly.

I wish I knew this before I purchased it.

 

You can heat the FRP to get it to bend a little during fitment. Just don't melt it. Use a heat gun or your woman's blow dryer. Post pics of your problem areas on the kit.
