Fiberglass kit wont fit

[alwyzDTF]

Sideskirts are an inch too short on each side =( I got the rear bumper on fine with very little sanding and managed to get the front bumper on but it was way too wide so right under both headlights and infront of the intercooler there are these big arches in the fiberglass from being pushed together at the corners to the fenders. My question is how in the world do I fix it?

[Edwin562]

what brand is it?

[iLagX]

probably the kit you got its made for 200mm fenders

[Felipe]

probably the kit you got its made for 200mm fenders

^^^^^^^ +1

[alwyzDTF]

Its a URAS Type 4 and I have a bumper retainer so it shouldnt be sagging that bad. Im going to try to raise the retainer a bit and see if that helps it all. I ordered the kit for a s14 kouki and those are oem fenders. its doing the same thing on the passenger headlight but what about the part in the middle infront of the intercooler down low?

[alwyzDTF]

Maybe pull the fenders where the bumper meets the fender just slightly so it takes less tension off? I dont even want to go through selling these fenders and waiting for bigger ones in the mail

[fliprayzin240sx]

Wow...that bumper look like utter shit. I havent seen a kit look wavy in a long time...

[STL240SXDRIFT]

Wow...that bumper look like utter shit. I havent seen a kit look wavy in a long time...

Exactly...fiberglass and that wavy...:down:

Chaser Aero?

[brndck]

Wow the upper line along the headlights looks like garbage. Aren't you glad you saved a few bucks and bought knockoff aero???

[shiftdrift]

rofl. send it back and tell them it's garbage.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Tell us what it is and where you got it from...so we know not to ever get it from them.

[delado]

It looks like a bag of dicks even in your avatar.

[nathanong87]

waves for dayssss

[brndck]

It's from chaser (surprise surprise)

[sterlinge]

You may have got s13 skirts. But the way the front bumper looks I'm sure everything is garbage.

[alwyzDTF]

Its a URAS Type 4 from Chaser Aero. "Steve" was the guy and I called him atleast 5 times to tell him to double check and make sure that 1 kit is all s14 and 1 kit is all for an s13. ill post pictures tmrw of the skirts and a better picture of the shitty front bumper and the cracks. I already drilled holes in everything so I dont know If I can get a refund? what do you guys think?

[harrypotter]

...I already drilled holes in everything so I dont know If I can get a refund? what do you guys think?

Maybe ask company. But I can tell you how my refund went, actually it didn't. I purchased a carbon fiber coil pack cover for my SR from them. Came to me with no holes drilled in it. Picture on site shows holes drilled in it. They said it was not drilled any more and that the best way to hold it is Velcro. Dude said that way I can easily access my coils/plugs. That is bs cause ashesive does not like to stick in hot environment. I tried it anyway and after a five minute drive it was in my exhaust manifold. Then I tried my best to drill holes in it, let's just say I am not a carbon fiber worker and it is trash now.

I contacted them (prior to drilling) and they said all they could possibly do is give me some money off of another product of theirs. I took a $75 dollar loss cause I didn't want to spend more money on another shit product. If I can find it in my garage I will probably shoot it soon!

[EnemyS15]

I just threw up in my mouth. Take that shit off. Sell it to some Honda kid as a widebody Honda bumper kid for 50$ and find another kit.

[shiftdrift]

i can't believe a company would let a product go out like that. honestly that's not even good enough to go on a drift car.

What is kinda funny is that in this pic
http://www.aerokits.net/cart/images/nissan/m127_9.jpg

U can kinda see the same "too wide" "wavy" bull that this dude is complaining about. And btw at 240$ a kit , quit whining. Drive it, blow it up, 240$ ain't a big thang.

Also funny they are using kielys car as a demo car still. Loved that thing!

[omgRWDgoodness!]

Sounds like URAS is essentially made to be shoved up ur ass.

[ZenkiKid]

You bought a $240 kit and expected it to fit like a glove? HAHAHAAHHA

[alwyzDTF]

nathanong87 GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS THREAD! read the original post you illiterate motherfucker. I asked "My question is how in the world do I fix it?" I understand I only paid $315 shipped to my door but that's because it was a group buy and we got a huge discount and I had 2 kits shipped to my house. they're not originally this cheap but even then the skirts shouldnt be so short that I cant wrap them around the fender to zip tie. thanks for the help though buddy :)

Lets just say my experience was the same. I bought their inverted hatch for the s13...boy was that the biggest mistake I ever made. I don't know what I was thinking trusting zilvia members reading their reviews of products from chaser on a forum meant to help others :cool: It didn't fit, the hinge holes were in the wrong place, it was wavy, did not come with the hatch glass as promised, had major gap issues and the trunk latch was in the wrong place. Basically they sent me a warped hatch that a body-man wouldn't even touch it.

Through my process I was talking to a "Russ." All was good I was as professional as can be, just wanted them to give me another hatch that I could work with....again I understand inexpensive kits are not going to fit even 75%. All the sudden "Russ" is gone and I am now dealing with a "Joe." I was professional with "Joe" never got heated just wanted the problem corrected. Sent him pictures. Then he stop responding to me through PM. I still have all the PM's in my box to prove it. I paid through Paypal so I started a claim. Then he offered to give me $75 back. I never accepted and the case closed because I didn't accept. I have not re-opened it because I would just rather not deal with them EVER again and take my losses and try selling it on criagslist. I told them when the time came I would let others on multiple forums know to never do business with them. This is last February '11. Im just now commenting on my experience.

I understand its America and they are trying to run a business to survive, but if you're going to sell sub-par products, at least have stellar customer service so customers "think" they didn't get screwed....c'mon chaser get your act together.

OP - Good luck trying to get anything rectified by them. My suggestion is to either heat up(without burning) the wavy part and using clamps to slowly straighten it out or cut the wavy party out and fabricate a new straight piece. a lot of work to- in theory, save money.

.02 cents

the ONLY way you can fix it is to stomp the shit out of them and order from a better company. it's shit quality, they have always been shit quality, and always will be shit quality. matter of fact the only thing worse then chasers quality is their customer service.

LOL, "how do i fix the inch short side skirts and high tide front bumper?"
but hey, you saved some money.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Honestly, from what I've read...only way I would get anything from chaser would be drive my ass to MD with no bumpers and have them fit me a kit themselves. I'm not paying for shit that wouldnt atleast ziptie on the car...

[Nismo 240]

Its just fiberglass thats how it is some of the kits come pretty bad some of them dont i got a URAS kit for my S13 from chasers was it perfect no was it in horrible shape no pretty much anything you get fiber glass is gonna need some work done to it so it can fit right no matter where it comes from.
To make your side skirts fit you might have to cut them and extend them

My original authentic s13 c-west kit and s13 vertex ridge kit beg to differ sir.

Both fit spot on.

[sidewaysil80]

pretty much anything you get from chaser is gonna need LOTS of work done to it so it can fit right no matter how it was shipped.


fixed that for you. the only reason you think that is because you have probably never owned an authentic frp aero piece. don't assume everyone else buys shit aero and don't try and make people think a body kit shouldn't bolt right up and fit out of the box.

you are fucking retarded.
stop buying junk parts.
a good kit will fit like butter
ever seen a vertex kit? or even a shine auto?
real trust aero? real BN sports?
that shit lines up perfectly and will sit there without even adjustment.

the problem is that everyone wants vertex quality for chaser price. for $300 a kit and you expect it to fit right??? good fucking luck. :bowrofl:

[smellslikecurry]

to the op...the only way you can fix that is to cut the bumper into little pieces trim and then fiberglass it all back together. basically not worth it. youre better off trying to get your money back from chaser. contact the bbb. post on forums. do what you gotta do but dont expect sympathy here on zilvia. there is a strict you get what you paid for mentality here.

[alwyzDTF]

I was just asking for opinions on what I could do to fix it myself...im not trying to get "sympathy" haha. I dont mind what all the little girls on here have to say about anything. they're probably 200lb 14 year olds living across the hallway from there parents room haha

So, im going to cut the end off the sideskirt that wont quite reach and buy fiberglass resin and a wax mold type of thing(I'll figure out exactly what I need after some research unless anyone has some original home remedies) and just make my own extended ends pretty much. Sound ok for the skirts?

As for the front bumper, I'm going to try to heat it up and straighten it out or just cut the waves out and mold my own with the same shit I use for the skirts.

[iStayBroke]

If you can work with fiberglass, why is this even a thread?

[siksyndicate]

If you can work with fiberglass, why is this even a thread?

His original request was for advice. We gave it to him but I also gave my review of chaser.

[iStayBroke]

They told him to smash the kit and put it back together.
Sarcastic, yes, but it is still advice. And if he can work fiberglass it's not bad advice either.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Shit, even VS kits fit better than whats in this thread. If I'm gonna buy some cheap shit, VS would probably be the cheapest shit I'd get. I'd rather have something that just needs to get shaved/smoothed down than needing to rebuild shit.

[ch1873857]

buddy of mine picked up a kit from them. we drove there so we are local. had a jacked up rear bumper. chaser cats told us to set it out in the sun and it will shape up again. we thought he was an idiot however in some cases a heat gun helped us get some of the waves out. good luck. exactly the reason i bought a 6666 kit.

[alwyzDTF]

I dont "work with fiberglass" there are plenty of videos and how to's and knowledge on the internet to learn and do just about anything so yeah, I'm going to study and then practice on my POS body kit for a fun first time experience. Some of you girls are ridiculous haha

Thanks for contributing buddy, That's the route I'm going. along with my fiberglass attempt. Ill take pictures of my finished product and post them it's been dumping snow so i couldnt take any pictures of the skirts.

[iStayBroke]

misread on my part lol
Good luck with the whole extending the side skirts thing though, sounds like fun(PITA)

[SupaDoopa]

Pay double and never worry about it again. The bickering is really annoying. I read three or four posts. I saw you paid 315$ shipped or something? You fucked up. Bluntly put. Get Shine Auto. Get BN. Get Vertex. Get Origin. Get happy. You will be when it fits like my penis in someone's girl at prom. Sorry to whoever lost their girl at the prom. My bad.

[chiboy002]

you know, op, laying quality fiberglass is harder than it seems

especially on a front bumper

the spots you fix are going to be brittle probably, more than the shit chaser makes, so it'll get fucked up pretty fast.

Send to chaser, cancel transaction through card company/paypal under the terms that the item was not as described.

[kouki_drifter]

if i was in your situation to fix it i would start at the bottom i would cut a straight cut at the center of the wave where its popping upwards almost all the way to where it drops down just leave about 1/4 to 1/8 in from the edge not cut once this is done it will sum what relieve the tension and u can overlap the cut sides over each other an figure out how much must be trimmed for it to line up straight with out any tension then do the same thing at the top under the headlights that way it wont be under tension at the top so you can keep the bumper square if u start to fix the bottom before the top it will be off and under tension again once u finish the top cuz it wasn't fully relived of the tension so once the top and the bottom are cut i would start at the bottom just cuz its easier to work on i would over lap the cut edges n trim the excess until the both sides fit pretty flush to each other then do the same up top then i would get a thin piece of aluminum strap maybe about 1.5 to 2in wide and at least 3 to 5in past each side of the cut i would then use "body glue" the same stuff used to glue on over fenders to glue the strap on the bottom side of the bumper perpendicular to the cut and clamp it there with a 2x4 on top of the cut to keep it straight repeat the same technique for the top once dried just use "fiberglass" bondo to do the body work the strap should help to keep the cut joined and straight also apply a some fiberglass bondo on the strap also or rivet it in to make sure it stays in place and there you go man im pretty sure this should work and keep cost to a minimum its what i would do just trying to get an idea out there since no one really answered your question hope this helped

[kouki_drifter]

im also in the market for a"cheap" body kit my s14 is gonna be a drift/daily beater i want it to look as good as posible with a "cheap" kit, i was thinking of going duraflex or VIS any body have any experience with either? which is easier to deal with installing wise? sorry to jump in on your thread just a quick ?

Looks like another 240 down the drain. Sigh.

what ever happened to just keeping the usdm front and slamming it.
s14's look so nice stock body.

Hypertek iirc has some great write-ups on how to slice and remold frp fenders and bumpers that dont fit.

he created perfect aero fitment on his rx7

I agree with ya man, I should've gotten the oem bumper and origin stylish sides and rear or somethin BUT...I fucked up and went with the knockoff. I figure with this kit I wont cry all night when it explodes but I still want to atleast get the sideskirts on and the waves out of the front bumper.

Im going to check that guys write ups thanks for the info!

you should sell your 240 and buy a honda, in the land of zilvia shall we never be cheap!

There are plenty of videos showing professionals working with high quality composite materials worth more than you even paid your bodykit. You cheaped out on the bodykit, so you will also cheap out on the tools, fibers and resins. And then you will just dump everything in a bin and scream, or torch your car.

Been there, done that. I have made enough warped and bubbled fiberglass to know when NOT to do something. What you want to do requires skill, room, fabrication and money. It WILL cost you more if you want to fix your bodykit than getting another one that fits from a reputable company, be aware of that.

6500$ on a rebuilt sr20 ? did you install pure titanium conrods and pistons inside ? I know people will tell you not to cheap out, but a good rebuild should not cost that much... unless it includes all labor, removing and reinstalling the engine back, and complete engine stripping /cleaning / inspection / rebore to new pistons spec / decking / blueprinting .

[Nicelyphe]

OEM Aero > Fiberglass anyday. I'll keep stock look before I burn money on fiberglass. May as well just save a bit more and get a better looking stock aero set-up.

youtube it. done

[jaCkee13]

this happened to me i got a vertex rep kit used and i just cut the skirt and extended it a bit with fiberglass

[alwyzDTF]

how has it held up with the fiber glass you molded yourself? tell me how you did it!

[Brentbohn]

Interesting, take your crash bar out and see if it helps, I had a vis racing kit that I needed to hack the hell out of the support to make it fit.

[spools420a]

bro just cut it in half on both sides a few inches from the ends,sand it with 40 grit the give the fiberglass something to bite,wipe clean and I would use fiberglass mat now space out how many inches more you want to add then add fiberglass to the INSIDE of the body,with it backstripped and held in place now take some fiberglass the shredded kind and ad your resin and hardener take a bondo spreader and now spread it over the OUTSIDE of the bumper,sand it down then purchase some body filler,I would purchase fiber filler paste (no need for kitty hair) which is a fiberglass type body filler and apply,sand that down and add your every day bondo body filler,sand with 80-150-220 and maybe 300 grit if you like,but dont go higher then that because your gonna want your primer to stick well 220 is enough but 300 will look better.

the waves will be tricky and may need to be cut out and re fiberglassed sorry to say,a heat gun and a press with some 2x4's might work i'm not too sure though.

[fliprayzin240sx]

LOLS that this post has yet to be replied by chaser aero.... perhaps they think they dont need to address our community? And to think I was considering one of their products before I read this.... not so much anymore, I can just save 200 bones and take a nice healthy poop on my s14's deck lid. A man can buy a lot of fiber rich groceries and drop a healthy log with that kinda money... hahaha :barf:

Good to see you care chaser!

They actually did, just not in this thread. Their response is for him to give Chaser an email and they'll try to work something out. Then Steve (Chaser) throws in that the thread should be titled 30 happy customers and 1 shitty fitment. Kicker is people started posting theirs towards the bottom with sagging back bumpers.

http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/416182-s13-s14-uras-style-kit-group-buy-4.html

[nissanfreak317]

Hmmm, fitment looks downright awful on most of them. I was considering buying from them but I'm not necessarily a master fiberglass guy. I guess I would be after getting done with one of them, haha. It looks like most of the people don't have the knowledge to modify them properly anyway. Like the one guy who drilled into his trim and zip-tied the saggy bumper up, wtf, it looks like asshole. Is there hope for these kits or is it totally not worth it no matter what?

[Darren]

I think a lot of the time the issue is that the buyer is just under a misconception.

They think these are "one size fits all" panels, they aren't.... especially bumpers...

Some bumpers are made to fit on the stock body panels, and some are made to fit around wider fenders. So if you try to fit a bumper that's made for 50mm wide fenders, then obviously it's not going to fit right, and will bow in the middle....

[alwyzDTF]

http://i52.tinypic.com/35k7qfk.jpg
Huge gap in the corner. I can see through to the ground.

http://i44.tinypic.com/1z6sh0j.jpg
Inch too short. Ive been debating on how to extend these and im thinking of cutting them from the top down somewhere but not cutting all the way and maybe trying to bend it as much as I can to get it to fit and then fiberglass however much of a gap the bend makes.

Any ideas?
skirts are like that on both sides.

But if im buying a "Uras type 4 body kit" for a "s14 kouki" wouldnt you assume that the bumper will fit an OEM set of kouki fenders which is what I have...? no where in any post was it specified that the bumper requires larger than oem fenders. and my sideskirts being an inch too short...thats a misconception?...really buddy?

[r33nota240]

what do people not get about professional installation required? just refiberglass it. i have seen and fixed worse.

[r33nota240]

u would be better to cut them in an area where they can be extended without a noticing a change in shape then adding an inch to the middle. do all ur fiberglass to the inside first then clean it up from the outside

ive always used kitty hair fiberglass to fix my kit.. worked great when i had to fix my bumper that was to short

[EvoVIII808]

Hmmm, fitment looks downright awful on most of them. I was considering buying from them but I'm not necessarily a master fiberglass guy. I guess I would be after getting done with one of them, haha. It looks like most of the people don't have the knowledge to modify them properly anyway. Like the one guy who drilled into his trim and zip-tied the saggy bumper up, wtf, it looks like asshole. Is there hope for these kits or is it totally not worth it no matter what?

There is plenty of hope for the kit, if you know how to install/fix it. And I have plenty of knowledge to fix fiberglass. I didnt have the stuff i needed so the zipties were a quick fix, and I used the smallest ones so they are not noticeable when I trimed/tucked them. :ddog:
My rear now looks like this. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ftJQQ0MI5CE/TycfoenzELI/AAAAAAAABR4/sy5yJVota1o/s320/IMAG0497.jpg :wackit:
Will get a pic of mine once i get home.

ALWYS- did you check out the link i sent you for the molding fix? That will help you with extending you side. You can also use cardboard to form it, and fiberglass over, then remove the cardboard. Super easy, but just takes time.

Yeah I checked it out, I actually forgot about it but people are making it sound a lot harder than it actually is. I just need to know what products to get and I can do it, You busy this week? Im off work until friday and wouldnt mind driving up there. PM me or text me man!

[r33nota240]

if u put painters tape down on the cardboard after u get the shape before u glass it the glass wont stick to it and u can remove the cardboard easyer.

You could always.....

sell the kit, then go to work for the 1203421342134 hours its going to take you to fix the kit, then buy legit parts = win

[Walperstyle]

OP,

Ignore all the people saying the same thing. Either get rid of it, or search youtube on how to make and create things in firberglass. It might cost more then buying another kit, but then you at least know something.

...anyone can go buy a kit. A real man knows how to repair and make his own kit.

[mysharonna]

A real man knows how to cut their losses.... a real man buys legit parts.... a real man doesn't come on here asking for advice and then say fuck off to everyone, that he can just watch vids on youtube showing how to fix it

[93nismo]

go buy some fiberglass mat and some resin. get some short strand fiberglass filler. and some bondo. and some glaze. cut where needed. mat the back. fill will fiberglass filler, sand. fill with bondo if needed. sand. finish with glaze. sand. prime. paint. be done with it. fiberglass is easy. the best part is, if you fuck it up. you can just cut it out and redo it untill you get it right. as far as extending your skirts goes. cut it in the smallest area you can find. make em as long as they need to be. tape it on the outside so it stays that way and lay the mat on the back and then fill the rest like the bumper. itl take a day to do all of it if you work on all 3 peices during the dry time of other peices.

[alwyzDTF]

well I got word I got sent skyline skirts and idk why the bumpers so big.

This was the best advice on here..

[mysharonna]

In all the years people have been putting fiberglass on 240's, do you not think someone hasnt asked your question before? search? cant polish a turd dude.... just saying...

[EvoVIII808]

Send it back and lets get this thing on the road. March 24 is your due date bro.
I need someone to roll down to nissan fest with.

[Howie Felter Snatch]

Honestly at this point, I think the car would look BETTER without a front bumper.. :)

Sorry that you got gyped by those dicks at Chaser Aero.. Seems like a bunch of a-holes trying to make a quick buck for some $100 cheap recycled Chinese carry-out fiberglass kits.. I'm so disgusted with some of the business practice in the states.. Just all about making money and screwing the customer.. Then again, I'm glad you learned from your mistake.. It happens to everyone, but the most important thing is to learn from it.

DO NOT BUY fake/knock off parts! This should be a lesson to everyone. Wheels, aero, suspension, whatever.. Your screwing yourself in the long-term as well as screwing those legit ass companies that actually R&D/build these parts! The community needs to band together and oust these BS fly-by-night companies with their sub-par products.

[mysharonna]

^^^ This is exactly what I was trying to do in my first post up there... I was trying to tell you from experience, not be a dick.

I wonder how many s chassis wouldn't be smashed up right now if people actually had to buy "real" parts.

It's a damn shame, but it happens all the time. I've can seriously man up and admit that I've considered buying a replica D-MAX bonnet once, yes the price was very enticing.. At $400 what was I to loose right? Get the part I've wanted for months right now instead of waiting much longer.. Guess what I did? Punched myself in the balls and bought a BN SPORTS Aero Bonnet 5 months later and never looked back. Seeing threads like this helps reassure that decision.

Too many people want to have the ideal 'big-build car' with the 'baller parts' but at eBay price.. It just doesn't work!

Hey you're car is slammed and cambered all sick and shit right? What suspension are you running? OH, godspeed project? *in-mind I think to myself... poor sob...*

[chiboy002]

what i dont get is why didn't you send it back and cancel the charge on your card/check w.e

the bumper is so big cause its probably for a wide body, or cause its piece of shit chaser aero. even in the picture they provided it was wavy

extending skirts is easy, you cut where the rocker panel is under the door area, or you can send it back to them and tell them to man the fuck up and give you the right shit

so why are you still posting here? :mepoke: what do you benefit by him throwing out this kit? Why not teach a man how to fish/lay resin.

[mysharonna]

^ Do you get instant gratification when fishing? NO! Its annoying because people cant seem to understand that patience and discipline go a lot further then want now, buy now.

I didn't tell him to throw out the kit, I just gave a realistic solution because I have learned some things from building cars over the years. Obviously he went cheap on the kit, so why spend even more money and time (time is money) to fix it when you can either get your money back or sell it.

[spools420a]

I think I love you. can you get me the brands of all the supplies you;d use? and I can get all the shit from oreillys or autozone?
you can get everything at autozone/checkers I tend to go to body shops because i lay micro light filler for easy sanding then premium fillers for less pitting but thats just me,autozone will have all I mentioned.

[MeanS14]

This exact thing happened to my roommate who decided to buy a $200 POS kit. His side skirts were 2in too short on both sides so he had to cut them in half and extend them

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

I'm pretty sure its been over 30 days since we got the kits =(

Ive got dents in the rear qp I need taken care of, a paint job and a decent body kit. Im working friday and satuday but sunday im free. then monday-friday I got my new job starting so 9-5 everyday.

[besTint]

Wow the upper line along the headlights looks like garbage. Aren't you glad you saved a few bucks and bought knockoff aero???

+1
exactly what i was thinking, im surprised i don't see more threads like this.

[r33nota240]

if u got skyline side skirts wouldnt they be too long and not too short??? the r33 is about 6 inchs longer then a s14

Yeah its been over 30. Sunday is bowl day.....but if you want to get started on the skirts. Pick up the fiberglass/resin/body filler/sand paper, and Tape from the auto store and cut those babies near the smallest section (Under the door)
