  • Just got the wings west W-type body kit.

    Any one else have this on their car? I ordered it for like 500 bucks on ebay rather than wings west 765. The more I look at the instructions the more I see that there is very little actual kit. Anyways it looks good so im not really worried. Anyone that has this, how was the installation, was it easy? Sounds simple enough but I know sometimes there are complications, if you had it painted before hand what did it cost you?

    I have the w-type kit for my camaro. I had it painted and installed at a shop for $500. The only confusing part was that the instructions for mine showed two screws that go up underneath the side skirts, but it doesn't look possible unless you get some spacers. There's just a big gap under there. On the front and back we put in some extra screws in the middle to make sure it doesn't fall off. The sides are held on by screws on the ends and tape in the middle. They also used some adhesive promoter before applying the double sided tape. I think that's an important step in the installation. The installation isn't too hard but you will need 3-4 people to hold them in place. I'm very happy with how my gfx came out. The only thing that sucks is now my faded bumpers are much more noticable in sunlight. Now I gotta save up another $400 to get them repainted to match the rest of the car [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]
