Default A public apology to Andy and BodyKitsNW...

Everyone knows the problems I had with Andy and BodyKitsNW and fitment issues.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=603232

Well I had a long talk with Andy last night and he gave me some tips to work it out. Lo and behold the hood fits fine now. Either the ricer gremlins got me, or my mechanical abilities had a brain fart. Either way, the hood is on, Andy was more than patient, and I recommend him and his shop for anyone interested in a cf hood.

I'm still pretty disgusted with how you handled the situation in the clubsi forums, and FlySI in particular (its completely pathetic for a moderator to act like that). Andy was willing to replace your hood, and thats what really gets me. Especially, when the two of you both knew that Andy delivered excellent hoods in the past. I don't understand what the two of you were attempting to accomplish, and I most certainly hope Andy gains back any customers he lost due to that horrible, tasteless thread created over at ClubSI.com.

In my opinion, Andy really revealed his character throughout all this crap. He never verbally attacked anyone, and continued to help you, even after the several public negative claims you made.

for Andy, and BKNW.

lets see you spend over 1000 bucks on products being told ohh the front bumper fits perfect no modification required... look at my car they painted it w/o fitting it. then when you get it, it fits like **** and then the person says **** off. andy doesnt even follow the rules on our page he gets so advertisment, and he sure hasnt ever paid for any of it.

Actually nothing. He bolted it on, and it fit. He took off his bumper, and a few other things just to make sure nothing would prevent it from not going on, and it fit fine. He's baffled because the first time he put it on it didn't fit, and now it does? Josh, it had to be a brain fart or the ricer gremlins Next time atleast talk to me first like you did the first time before pointin the finger towards our hoods and products. You did what you promised and I thank you. Hmm, didn't I say I test fitted the hood before it left. I must have been dreaming that or something LOL. But hey there you go, there are the pics. His car and the hood looks great to me. Now you just gotta wait for the new pics and toys he's getting to make the car look even better.

Remember guys, take your time when you install hoods. Try not to point any fingers till you have really taken the time to look at everything. PEACE!

Well handled Josh. I know for one, I have had my share of bad luck with carbon fiber hoods... I don't blame you for blowing up and saying "negative" things towards BKNW and Andy in particular...because frankly...I've been there. Good to hear things all worked out in the end though!

two thumbs up to Andy!!

Andy... here's some pics of my buddy's Mugen Style bumper he got from you... 100% perfect fitment! Only gripe was that the OEM Bumper support wouldn't fit so he has to make brackets for his intercooler, but no biggie... his buddy club didnt fit it either...
