Default DONT BUY FROM ANDYSAUTOSPORT.COM!!

Theyr ****** ********. I bought a lip kit from them for my rsx and on the phone the guy is all like yea it will fit with all the hardware that is on the car.
Well then i ****** get it and try to put it on. The front and rear lips fit pretty good for being a replica, so that was cool. The ****** side skirts though only have 1 place that screw in with "existing hardware" and that was a hole where the front mud gaurd goes. I called andys auto sport and they told me to use double ****** sided tape, WTF! like thats gonna hold it on by itself, so in order to solve this problem they put me on hold till i CANT ****** HOLD ON NE MORE, so i eventually hung up. Neway, i had to drill holes into the underbody of the car and even doin that doesnt really place the skirts where they need to buy. what a pain in the ***

Thats how a lot of aftermarket kits and body pieces are. For example, the Wings West RS sideskirts don't have any holes, you just have to make your own, and use tape. Same with the older VIS Spoon style lips. Just have to get creative.

Some of those double sided tape are the ****....like the 3M brand...they can hold some serious weight if you get the right one. I mean...they make Velcro that have high tensile strength....

Added: As far as the so called customer service goes...I agree for Andy's

A buddy of mine used to work for them a couple of years ago. At that time, he told me that Andy have multiple lawsuit against his company. Guess that the reason why he sold it??? Their **** is overpriced anyways, wonder how they still stay in business.

Thats why you should only deal with real OEM kits or TOP quality manufacturers. But then again some people b1tch about how expensive OEM and quality manufacturers are.

Its true that they suck. I bought my lip kit from them and they screwed the order up. Tried to blame me for ordering a 2 door kit until i showed them the original invoice that said it was for a 3 door. 3 months later i got my order. There customer service is pathetic. They would put me on hold for up to 12 minutes. AND yes its true, they are a bunch of white guys who make kits for ford probes.

double-sided tape is hella strong. especially the 3M ones. it held my 3 piece WW midwing on my hatch for over 2 years until i decided to take it off.
