Re: Does anyone know how to fit body kits on to models????????

good question. i just recently received my SAS kit for my Aoshima S15 (i think it's actually for the Fujimi version, but still fit well ). i just super glued mine but was wondering if there is an actual proper method.

Superglue/ Cyanoacrylate glue is the proper method; the SAS s15 transkit is for the Fujimi kit. I'm currently building that kit.

Quite simple, just remove the original parts (front, rear, sides etc) then attach resin parts in their place.

What if it still doesn't work???
I have a Honda 2000 with the body kit and hood. I've been able to attach the rear bumper, side skirts and hood. But the front bumper is crooked or something and I cant figure out what to do. Any suggestions???

What I have done in the past (Veilside MR2) is use putty and reshape as needed after mounting the front bumper as best as I could.

Aside from the fact that the S2000 conversion along with the hood can present some tricky fitment issues, it is possible - but unlikely - that you could have received a warped front. PM me your details and I will be happy to send a replacement front.
