Simple question for you guys who own or know about this kit. How do the side door panels actually attatch to the door? Clips in the molding holes or what? Thanks in advance.


Rob

 

you can do that. I had the body shop use a rivet type of stud to hold it up for more support towards the front fender. Then they shaved the stud smooth

 

i have a question about the wings west kit too.

soory to take your thread but i was wondering, does the car look allright with the front bumper and stock side skirts? does it match up allright or does it look dumb without the skirts?

thx in advance.

-ben

 

so it doesnt match up very well does it?

 

okay im going to un hijack my thread.

So double sided tape or a rivet?
Whats the most common method used amungst you guys.
and get the whole kit....


Rob

 

im talking just running the front bumper and the rest stock. how does it look in your opinion

 

I downloaded the PDF file from Wings West, and it said to used double sided tape. I'll probably use double sided tape, and lots of it.

Most common would probably be double sided tape, but I wouldn't do it that way personally. When I had a CRX with that kit, I used tape to center it, but the body shop that I had my car painted at, used a strong epoxy, along with screws from the inside of the door outward, through the 4 corners of the door caps. That's when they were only offered in fiberglass, I'm sure everyone is using the urethane version now.

 

true i have the newer urethane kit on my car, it has double sided tape on them, but it came up in one area on the door and was wondering what I should do. I think that I will go get some super epoxy from the hardware store.


thanks

Rob

 

the way i did it was with super fast urathane. same stuff that holds your windshield on, and it is less likely to peel off the surface taht it is adheard to (unlike epoxy).... screws are a surefire way to make sure it never goes anywhere.

as for the bumper by itself... if money is to big of an issure to go for the full kit... buy a jdm conversion off http://www.hmotorsonline.com

 

not to thread jack, but heres a few pics of the kit on one of my cars so you have a better idea of what it will look like:

 

Real good silicone will work as well. Have it done on one of my hondas kits and the side skirts have never come loose even when slightly flexed for a period of time on a lift.

How does the rest of the WW kit fit on your ride...I'm seriously thinking about getting one for my very naked rebuild project REX.

 

your door skins are missing dood.
if you need help, hold your friends hand and do it together.
like robby and i in this picture i have attached below.
the end result is amazing!





and that double sided tape we are using is made by 3M. they have great products.

 

When i got my kit the side skirts and door caps already had the 3m tape on it. ive had the kit on for about a year and through a canadian winter without any problems...plus i also custom fab a crx front WW rs front bumper on my hatch.....sorry to be a pic ****....just want to show you before and after.

 

nice hatch kyo!

 

hey thx for the pictures guys i really apreciateit :up:

 

yeah i just have the side skirts with no front or rear and it looks real good. Don't like them.

 

Pics look good guy's. Thanks for bumping the thread.


Robert

 

Let's say, I decided to use screws, all I would have to do is drill through the door and into the door cap?? Or is the door cap to thin to put a srew in?

i know, the shitbox hatch is my daily driver/winterbeater. i ripped the door pieces off because they kept catching on my front fenders in the cold weather and were getting all fucked up. at one point i thought about putting them back on, then i said **** it, now i just aim the car towards large snowbanks and slam into everything i possibly can. its quite fun actually. at one point i actually thought about getting the body fixed up and painting it, but id rather just slowly destroy the thing until its completely undriveable.

good call, i'm eagerly awaiting snow. we have **** here in milwaukee this year. the 4wd wagon needs some winter action.

 

Double sided tape

Call up a body shop and ask about getting them fused on. Fusing will hold longer than you'll have the car. And you'll never have to worry about them sagging.

how easy are those door panels to get off once there on with that tape?

 

As long as you have the WW urethane kit, 3M tape . Had mine on for about 4-5 years, in the first year I had the same problem on the drivers side cap the tape wanted to pull away a little. I went through the complete disaster of taking it off and reinstalling new tape, after I took a heat gun and formed it to the door where it pulled off. That kit sucks for black cars, the bumper curls on me alot in the summer. Whatever, I wouldn't want a Fiberglass one at all, my freinds doorcap flew off on the freeway once. I'd also avoid riveting or drilling if the car is actually worth something.

 

But what if you wanted to screw them in, how would one go about doing this? Would I just take a screw and drill through the door till I hit the door cap? What size screw? Are there any other "screw" accessories that I need if I wanted to screw it in besides the screws?

Whoa! I just said screw 5 times...LoL~
