Default Wings West Body kit Problem...

I have the avenger full body kit on my 2000 civic and I had it put on at a local shop. The rear bumper buckels on the sides. I took it back and they tried to fix it, but they said it won't fit perfectly b/c it is aftermarket. I have seen other car with the same kit have the same problem. I tried using a heat gun and it just went back to the same way. It is polyurethane. Need help...

the guy asked for help, not your opinion on body kits.

As for that problem, if you've seen it happen on all the other cars with them, maybe that's just the way it's supposed to be.

urethane kits are worthless. pay for a quality fiberglass kit, or don't bother

there's nothing really you can do. if it's molded wrong you're screwed

Yep, my friend has a 99 ek with a wings west lip kit and has the same problem also. Polyurethane is durable but when it's molded wrong, there's nothing that you can do to fix the fitment.
