I installed a shark fin today and my evo x overlay... i dont know if my bumper is messed up or the overlay isn't bent enough but the middle of the overlay comes to a point and doesnt stick on the bottom. It kinda pisses me off... otherwise it looks good! I'll post pics tomorow.

 

its hard to say by discribing it. message some of the guys who have put it in, I think two of the guys had a fun time installing it (not!) lol its tricky but do able.

if you still have problem message me and we will make a evening of it and try to get it installed for ya

 

I have it installed but i dont like how it looks... but i'll post pics to help you see what i mean,once this rain stops that is... or tomorow.

 

i know excatly what u mean.. i got very fustrated with it to... its a ***** to get everything ready for the overlay.. taken out the styerofoam and cutting the holes... Nothing that u will buy will really work well with the overlay.. take it to a body shop where they have the right stuff.. and they will use clamps to make sure it holds.. mine stuck out on the bottom to.. but unless u let a real body shop do it. its gonna look like ****.

 

lol on a scale of 1 - 10 of the DIY difficulty index, this is a 7 or 8.


Let me know if you need a bodyshop to help I am going to Phoenix to get some bodywork done. they do a good job and rebuilt my car twice after its been near written off.

call me.

 

lol i have ordered my overlay so I will be doing a fun install shortly heheh

 

Here are the promised pics.

 

like i said... i dont like how it turned out, the center and to the right it comes to a point because of the curve or something.

 

forgive me, I dont understand whats wrong... can you circle on the pic what the issue is?
or better yet , give me a shout

 

 

ugg...that would drive me nuts

 

ya i know! its small but im always gonna know and thats why i wanna fix it lol

 

dude ,thats nothing hehe you should look at my car, you should prey that your car isnt entirely black. EVERYTHING SHOWS UP haha I wanted to turn the gun on myself after buying this black car. sigh but thats a different debate.

Anyways how did that rinkle come about at the drop off I give it a look over, I didnt super inspect it but I didnt see that. Was it during install?

anyways let me know. Its hard to notice unless you really stare at it. haha i was looking at your picks and going over it and missed it. I am sure so would most people.

Second I think it can be fixed if you wanted to really go all out and go nuclear. Heating up the plastic to remove the ripple is possible but you would have to cast a new paint job on it since I am sure it would warp the current surfaces color slightly.

Anyways let me know,

 

ya, no it was fine when i got it, its just not the same bend as my bumper so when i pushed the two sides down the middle bent slightly outwards making a point. and ya its not too noticeable but enough to bother me lol

I think i may want to do something about it... if heating it would help (but i hope i can do it without taking the thing off lol.

 

i am the same way dude...no matter how small an imperfection is, as long as i know it is there, it makes me so angry...even if no one ever notices it, i still want it fixed. lol
good luck with it.
