Hey guys, i got confused the last minute because of rexpeed. On the NON SSS and the actual SSS it says the same thing in the description. It says that both have the 2 humps on the side. I guess the NON SSS's antenna is 5x6cm and the SSS antenna is 5x9. Well.... i dont have a sunroof or leather or HIDs. Do i have a SSS? or NON? I believe i have a non. For the dumb *** question in case your wondering, It's because i just bought a evo X 1 week ago and im still new to the game on this X but, I absolutely LOVE exterior modifications like this.

Thanks Guys.

 

Non

 

Thanks

 

There are 2 variables. 1 you already mentioned and that is the antenna size. 2 is whether or not your roof is Flat or has the two ridges running longways at the outside edge over the doors.

I see Rexpeed finally posted the flat roof VG . Been a long time in the making!

 

Anyone on here posted a install video on this? Youtube has it only for the 8.

Yes i have the humps on the side. i didnt measure the antenna.

 

Don't need a how to, take tape off and slap it on

 

Yeah when i had my Evo X i bought a rexpeed carbon fiber VG. It will stick with the double sided sticky tape but the corners are gonna want to pop up, what i did was used a windshield weather strip apoxy from the autoparts store and stuck some directly underneath the corners. After i sat some heavy books on top to hold it down for about 8 hours to dry completely. If it continues to pop up reapply and do it again. Im sure others have used something different or maybe they had ones that fit perfect, but my Rexpeed def didnt fit perfect.

 

Yea what i was wondering if i should lift up the black sidings to place the VG under it and then clip it back down? like this guy.. BUT my question is.. Does anyone know if it is this easy on the X's to lift up the black sidings?

 

The rexpeed doesnt go underneath the black trim on the roof.

 

Oh i didn't know that. That explains why bettle_orange said what he said lol.

Wow... that's some strong tape! I hope!

I have waxed my roof since i bought the car but i have avoided waxing in that specific area because i knew i would order a VG one day. I was curious if i can use "isopropyl alcohol" on the paint to clean the area before applying the tape?

Random Question: Does anyone know where i can find the chrome trim around the shift gear box that the ralliart has? I'm looking for it in the evo's interior. Maybe it's called something else and that's why u can't find it.

 

Just use soap and water, dry really well before applying, also with the rexpeed i had to grind it out a little bit to fit over the antenna. Also the corners will try and pop up which is why i used weatherstrip apoxy to hold it down.

 

^ I don't know what weatherstrip apoxy is or where i can get it or what it does. Where can i locate it?

Thanks Russel.

 

Just use alcohol wipes on the area the double adhesive will be put on. I have had my vg for going 6 years now and it's still there last time I checked,

 

Might look into this

 

Does anyone have any idea what kind of tool i should use to shave this a little so it fits around the antenna? Any advice would be great appreciated. Should i just use a file? Sand paper? how did everyone else shave this so it fits?
