Car's in the shop, finally got pics of fenders and other stuff... Just click it bi*ch

[branman_crx_guy]

I know i didnt get pics up Sunday as it is, but it took me 8 god damn hours to get the kit on (started at 3 pm ended at 11pm of nearly workin straight thru besides 20 min break for dinner) i was so pissed and stressed and crap, plus i had to drive 45 min still to drop the car off at the shop that night, so i really wasnt in the mood to take pics. But i went up there today to look at it and just tell him exactly wat i want done. Heres the pics, as u can see theres a gap with the front bumper and fender, any ideas on how to make it less noticeable (besides fiberglass or bondoing or shit like that). Lemme know wat you think so far, hopefully it'll be better than my last one (shouldnt be too hard to do tho).

The best part of my car, the sexy spoiler, i luv that bizitch:


You want the fender pics? Theres your f*ing fender pics:


Theres that gap, shouldnt be as noticealbe once its painted tho. By the way, the hood isnt closed all the way, there really isnt a gap at all with the fenders:


Tip For those interested in SLR Fenders, you need civic hb corners in order for them to fit if you buy em for a crx, just so you know:


No caption for this, just a pic, so take it:


Here you can see the sides and body work, cant you?


So there it is, lemme know wat you think. Also, since only hb corners work, will hb one piece headlights work? Do they even have hb one piece headlights?

Looks awesome man!
The bodyshop should be able to fix those gaps no problem.
What color are you painting it?

[branman_crx_guy]

Well actually my uncle is the body shopper, and he said there wasnt a whole lot he can do. He said to get rubber gasket and put it in there to make it less noticealbe. As for the color, im gettin bright white w/silver pearl.

lookin pretty good man. Correct me if im wrong, but I dont think there are 1 piece headlights for any 4g civic. That wing iz pretty sexy. Not sure bout that gap tho, besides my methods w/ bondo , etc.. not sure - Good luck w/the rest of yer car and keep us posted

Dude, that's a huge ass gap...

You should be able to do something with the front bumper, like scoot it up or angle it up a little more in the front to at least reduce the gap a little bit... may have to do some trimming and re-drill some holes or something, but you should really take a look at it and figure something out...


Aside from that, it's looking really really nice!

Keep us posted!

Yeah he said fiberglass or bondo would just crack tho, plus i couldnt take my front bumper off ever, and i probly will need to sometime. Hopefully onces its all one color it wont stand out as much, if it does, im sure i can ghetto rig something.

[XxLuckyLisaxX]

[91civicDXdude]

hey had the same problem with a cyber kit on my civic. you can angle it up more and also where the bar screws on in front of the wheel, that bracket can be adjusted to reduce the gap. Also the bracket is made of a nylon polymers you you can self tap higher screws to close it even more.

the gap was mainly on my left side if looking FROM the back or right side if looking up the bonnet. Dunno if its the same for you..

And how long has he worked @ a body shop? Not much you can do? WTF... thats an easy fix with fiberglass - VERY easy fix. And the fact that you would just leave it like that and paint it? Seriously you are just going to ruin the way your car looks - it will stick out like a sore thumb trust me... then you will just have to go get it glassed and REPAINTED, just do it now and save yourself the hassle...

One piece headlights only fit the Sedan.
