  • need some help!

    allright i have the wings west body kit, and for some reason the rear skirt wont stay no matter what ive tried....it sags in the corners. I tried wire ties, screws, and i spent 30 bucks on tape and that didnt even work because for some reason in the corners it wont line up right and i cant get any screws in there because of the angle.

    If anyone had similar problems let me know...because i want to fix this before it flies off while im on the highway.

    thanks!!

    you just gotta keep at it. mine used to sag, i took it off, put the tape all the way around, put some screws above the exhaust tips and on the sides, and now its stuck on there like glue.

    if its really buggin you and youve got tons of money to blow, you could look into getting it molded on.

          go to autozone. get a product called: the amazing goop! its an automotive glue that will not hurt your paint, but will make an amazing bond between the car and your effects. youll need to prop something under the gfx, to hol it up to the car, but im telling you, this stuff hold together really well. if you ever want to take off the gfx, just pull on them and the glue pulls right off, but not easy enough to just fall off.

            will it hold up without screws? cause id probably put a bunch in anyway for safety reasons haha.
            But thanks for the info. and how much does it cost?

              dont listen to him,I would never use glue on the gfx,it will hold for couple of weeks then fall off,just use the 3m double sided tape

                i used the 3m tape but that crap wouldnt hold. I dont know why but in the corners my whole gfx sags. The tape worked on my sideskirts and front air dam, but not on my rear piece. Im thinking about using nuts and bolts to hold it up....

                  3M VHB is the best way to put GFX on. If you want I'll see if I can get you some industrial strength and send it out to you. Beware though once its on its on so you better get it lined up right the first try. Email me if you want some.
