[whitecrab]

so i got this s13 coupe dmax STYLE roof wing off ebay, thinking its a good deal. first i had to wait two weeks to get then when i got it the fitment sucks :bash:. has anyone had the same problem, rather it be ebay, dmax, origin? is there maybe a way to sorta bend it alil with heat or something?

So... you bought a KNOCK-OFF from EBAY and...


you're surprised that it fits like shit?



Congratulations on getting what you deserved.



You can try try heating and re-bending it, but it's only held on with double sided tape when it's all said and done.

[whitecrab]

well i thought ill give it a shot, concidering he garenteed fitment would be 100 percent . i mean yeah i got what i paid for but shit it was deal. was just wondering has anybody else had any problems with theirs.

[mikefc]

any more pics of your chest?

[whitecrab]

um thats my dad fruit loop.

[YoungGun]

Zipties .

[ranger240]

so the other person in the photo is your mom? any pics of her chest?

[whitecrab]

lol naw zipties wont work. i was thinking of heating it up alil just to curve it down. i was wondering is some one had any insight in this problem.

1. Heat it up with something and try to WARP it so that it might fit somewhat ok.

2. Contact ebay guy (if possible) and explain that it is terrible and ask for a new one or refund. That will probably be a slim chance and if he says OK, then you'll probably need to pay for shipping back to him AND shipping to you on a new one.

3. Start reading Zilvia and WHY people don't suggest getting cheap knock offs. My brain explodes on itself everytime I read something like this. There are some of us that understand this whole concept and try to help others (such as yourself) from getting a piece of shit.

4. Live and learn. Think about this next time you see a "great deal" on a knockoff part from ebay.

[randyjordan]

hahahaha

that sucks

dont even bother heating it up, i'd break it in half and toss it at some random biker riding in front of my house

[TanaMU]

If it's fiberglass heating it wont do any good. You see, fiberglass resin is a thermoset. Google it if you dont know what that means, but basically it doesn't respond to heat the way a thermoplastic would.

[Brian]

just FYI, heat can and will warp a fiberglass part.
Trust me.

[whitecrab]

by heating it u mean like baking it or just a torch from a distance?

[Marc240]

You are going to have a very hard time trying to bend this part to make it fit.

[whitecrab]

yea i think ima just send it back to um.

[enkei2k]

ThatGuy: You and Your Knock-Offs SUCK! (sig)

couldn't have said it better myself. even though i have a knockoff wing, but i kind of test fitted it at least. now you know, live and learn.

[whitecrab]

fuck it. cant get mad now, just gotta get the real dmax one on monday.

[aoiken3]

if the guy said THAT would be 100% perfect fitment, i'd demand my money back as soon as i got it

[jspecusa]

that's not even a copy of Dmax wing
looks like a gpsport for the 240 hatch, find one and test fit it.

[s13newb]

just throw one of the tits on the wing and wait till it bends to size

[whitecrab]

ima send it back to him tomorrow and just get a refund. yeah he said fitment would be 100 percent or money, different one, back. so i should be str8.

[clark]

you sure you didn't get a hatchback wing by accident?

[Couped_up'd]

2nd that. If you look at it...it seems to have the 240sx fastback curve.

[whitecrab]

its as simple as knowing hatchback glass doesnt curve around the sides like the coupe.

[whitecrab]

sorta looks like the s15 one.

[ILoveJDM]

awwwwwwwww yeah


come on baby, show me some tittay!

[SHuynh]

^hahaha, yea i bought that exact roof spoiler and it really does fit perfectly on a hatch

[ixfxi]

whats the purpose of the spoiler? does it reduce your drag coefficient?


does it have vortex inducing qualities like the evo???


does it shoot fireballs when cars get too close? just wondering why anyone would put that shit on their cars.

why do people put giant wheels with tires stretched to the point where the wheels just stick out pointlessly? why do people tack on big huge fiberglass skirts that scrape on every bump in the road? or big loud exhausts...

it luuks koooo duhhhh

[Krusty_s13]

i got mine and it fit perfect.

good god man how the fuck do you see out your rear window!!! lol peel that shitty tint off. you can buy all the aero you want, but if you have bubble paper on your rear window, noone will think you're cool.

[cali_love]

[Bubbles]

You're 'dad' should take care of his shirt fitment before you move on to the cars.

Aww, come on, they look decent on couples that have the front conversion done.

Its astetics. Cars have parts that are there solely for astetics.




if it was plastic you could easily bend it with really slow even heat. like wrap it in some water soaked towels and slowly, evenly heat till it got a little flexable, and then pull the towells off quik and slowly bend.
Dont force it, just repeat till it finally makes the curve.
wear gloves.
like bending shitty #2 pencils with steam.
then just sand and fill till any waves are gone.


If its fiberglass, you could use a dremel or a thin cutting blade, and cut the bottom off so it looses all regidity, then mock it up.
Put the bottom up, make your marks where the bottom half is too long and slowly trim it down till it fits nicely.
then take it off and fiber glass the pieces together, use strong tape tabs to hold it together every several inches. (dont tape whole thing or it wont flex!)
when fiberglass is almost tacky, slowly fit it to the curve.



^^just incase anyone in the future reads this and cant send there ebay stuff back. both methods just take time and patience.

[Dee]

eBay parts; JUST SAY NO!

[sleep]

lmao...you guys are hilarious sometimes

[Om1kron]

hahaha that wing looks like your dads chest, wavy.

[Dirty Habit]

[Lucas180]

You guys are brutal haha, but yeah combo of it looking like its for a hatch and cheap e bay is probably the problem here..
