Putting on blitz kit?

[Robdog]

Ok, when putting the bumper on for the blitz kit do you have to take out the foam padding that is on front bumper of the car, or do you leave it on? Also when doing the side skirts do you take the stock plastic one off of the sides or just cover it up with the blitz sides?

yes- that molding piece from the stock bumper has to come off and all you do is put the blitz side skirts right over the stock ones and bolt them on each side in the wheel well and either fuse the side skirt to the car or use 2-sided molding tape. my side skirts bowed out while they were in the paint booth, so the sticky tape didn't do jack sh!t holding it flush to the car. now they are fused to the car and look much better. good luck

What do you mean by holding it flush and now they are fused to the car?

since you can only bolt the side skirts on thru the front and rear wheel wells, nothing is holding it up tight to the side of the car. Thats where the 2-sided molding tape comes in. With my side skirts, the bowed out and when we tried to use 2-sided sticky tape, it wouldn't stick at all, so i had this 1/2" gap b/w the side skirt and the side of the car- yucky. All a bodyshop does is put this stuff called "fuser" which is like superglue to the back of the side skirt and push it against the car so it sits flush to the rest of the door. I'm not really good at explaining things, so i hoped this helped alittle bit....

Yea that helps out pretty good, so do the sides fit good from the pre mold or do they need fabricated in anyway? Also what do you mean by YUCKY?

[beth]

well, my side skirts fit pretty well- so no other prep work was needed on them. by "yucky" all i meant was that seeing a 1/2" gap from the door to the side skirt looked ugly, thats why i had it fused. otherwise, the kit looks SCHWEET! good luck

Sweet I get my skirts monday. I am going to prep and primer them myself along with the buddyclub rear and blitz front.....The front seems to be a pain in my a$$. Was yours the same way? It seems like the right side fits really good but the left is off, so I think I am going to have to sand and make it fit, then prep and primer it....
