Kevlars30z Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 thats the bumper! that top piece does it go inside or outside and the middle piece wrinkles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihavearustedz Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've seen them outside and inside. I like to think they fit better on the inside. As for the wrinkels they are pretty flimsy. They bend in the air quite a bit, I wouldn't be surprised if they wrinkle just a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlars30z Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 what is better inside or outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 What does "wat" mean? Yes its supposed to have the crease in the middle. Its there to follow the body line up the hood. My airdam is mounted with those tabs on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlars30z Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 okay got it! well continuing with the problem i don't know what to do! if i try to aline it on both with sides it feels like the bumper is under pressure. but way to much pressure.

Challenger Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 From the pictures it looks like it was smashed by something or sat out in the sun for awhile. Just force it on to where youd like it and drill the holes. Then just let the car sit for awhile and it will soften up and its relaxed position will be how it fits on the car. Other option is to smash it (imagine putting it in a huge c clamp length wise) to make it closer to the original shape. Im sure you can figure something out. Overall, just mount it, it will be fine. Urethane is soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlars30z Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 i see! i kinda knew that it was smashed or something because when i brought it home i put it on the floor and it seemed to be to flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 It sure gives you the redass to receive a part in that condition after sending them you're hard earned cash.. I would do what 240hoke did to his air dam to stiffen it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
