thanks AeroFiber!!!

 

How did you install them? Drilling required? What type of hardware? I have a set of replicas of a set of replicas and the seller gave no instructions, no hardware, and actually one is a hair longer than the other, but he told me it wouldn't be noticable. I'll be attemping to install them soon and want to make sure I don't screw something up without knowing how they should be installed.

 

You install them like every other sideskirt. Bolts on the inner wheel wells and on the bottom and top near door sill. Then if you want, fiberglass them for that "molded" look.

 

actually you don't do any of that except a few bolts UNDER the car.

 

I have the RE Feed Replicas. You line them up how ever you want to the contour on the body then take some good old self-tapping screws and attach them to the underside. I think I used 6 on each side to make sure the skirts didn't go anywhere.

 

Thanks. I think mine are replicas of those replicas. I have bad fear of drilling or cutting anything on my cars (learned my lesson on my first car), so is there any way to attach them without drilling? What about the grommet plugs along the rocker panels? Can those be replaced with screw anchors or something?

 

damn. some nice lookin fds in this thread. like very nice. i wish i had the money for one, but my funds can barely afford a fc. i think im limited to either 1st gens or 2nd gens.

 

except for a fuel doorOPPINIONS PLEASE

 

Looks nice. You might want to think about some wheel spacers if you plan on keeping those wheels. It will help fill out the fenders a little better.

 

Nice car! Very nice.

Grats on upgrade.

 

please get wider wheels

 

the fronts are 8.5j & rear 9.5j

 

those are way too narrow for your huge fenders. why get wide fenders if your rolling on wheels that are too conservative even for stock fenders?
you need wider widths and lower offsets STAT

you asked for opinions, thats mine.

 

Off topic, but why does england always look so cloudy, jeez do you people get sun over there?

 

Because it is cloudy most of the year. I think the month of August is the only nice time of the year over there.

 

The kit looks good and the black on white colour scheme works. I agree it needs deep dished rims, or if your staying with the Fury's, use massive spacers to at least match the extra width you've added. cheers.

 

I go to hbbq about once a week.

"2 mini bbq chicken, 1 scoop of rice, no salad, pls"

The car used to be silver.

The burnout kit completely transformed the car, and I like black much better than silver.

I trimmed all 8 pieces of the kit to fit the 2" wider tires front and rear and to allow for the wider sweep of the tires when turning lock to lock. I also had to cut part of the (non-essential) frame to allow this and cut the rear bumper to my liking.

I'd post more pics, but school and work is the priority right now.

 

What about a rear diffuser?

The car looks great ! Congratulations! Agree with larger wheels though.

 

is my next port of call. i agree about the wheels I'm looking at some spacers i cant really get rid off as my girlfriend brought them as a present two months ago.

 

at the moment the weather is ither raining one day or hot. but summer starts mid june till late august early sept, it reaches about 31 deg but it's hotter below london the rest of the year it,s cold windy and wet.

 

my Fd3s with new wheels 18" tired front 225-40 rear 245\40

 

BIG WHITE im sure you can sell those wheels and show her that they dont fit, that car jus doesnt look right with those wheels,..I like everything else though-

 

Well, let her know they are not the correct width and see if she can swap just the rear wheels for wider ones. If not, and you are hell-bent on keeping them, locate a wheel shop to see if they can professionally widen them to the appropriate width.

 

hmcre--- love the front plate location

 

....is temporary location : next mods is bodykit...
