  • help fixing gaps

    ok so I have some really bad gaps

    I have a 99 camaro with the RS appearance package and there are bad gaps around the front of the side skirts



    thats on the passenger side, the pannel in front of the door is in to far



    thats the drivers door, it is in to far too (and thats not dirt on my car thats the garage floor reflecting on cause is to clean ;) )

    I've heard people have these problems often, they are from putting lifts/jack stands in the wrong spot, so how do I fix them?

    y dont u just put some screws back in the front of the skirt were there supposed to be. i got the same body kit on my rs and just put some screws in it. it should fix most of the gap. if not double sided glue or take off the skirts and allign them back up.

      i got that gfx and mines still good, but on an old cutlass i had i took the panels off, and got new clips...that would work with alot of work, but it would be done the right way

        I bet the GFX are just pushed out of place a little. Try taking the screws of and then putting them back in place.

          What's new.. a good percentage of F-bodies I see the body panels dont line up anymore..

          I have a few annoying gaps myself id like to fix, i think its gonna take removing the panels and reinstalling with new hardware.. the pop in screws and whatnot...

            the gap was there when I had the old pins in the skirt, I took the picture while in the process of replacing them, the new ones helped a little bir but there is still a noticable gap

                    just mold the kit to the car and shave all body lines that will take care of your gaps thats what i did
