Hey guys i got the shine sides on my car but they started buckling in the area where the door and the front fender meet.... anyone have experience with this? how do shops fix this? i also noticed the bottom of my pass side is a lil warped and i can't get it to sit flush with the bottom of the car even with superduper double side tape.
shine sides warping question
- Thread starter viper92086
- Start date
they said they know about it and its a problem with the originals too, basically let it settle and get body work done...
Anything fiberglass is going to have the same characteristic cause it's "fiberglass" and it stretchs and bends and cowls after usage in rain and normal whether. Even if you had original bomex pieces i'm pretty sure they'll start to do the same after some usage.
i have the origional bomex, and i have never had an issue.... i do not drive my car often, but they have been on for 2+years.
No offense, but going off your previous bodykit related threads it seems you might have your expectations set pretty high - perhaps a little too high.

These parts are a *completely* different material to OEM plastics and metal, and WILL behave differently.
Have you got some pics of where they are warped?
People specialize in fitting these sorts of parts to cars - there are a lot of tweaks and tricks necessary to get them looking good. Notice I said good, and not perfect
I'm no body-guy - but based on your pics of the carfashion bomex sides I still think I could have fitted them. It is possible the images are deceiving, but they honestly looked pretty decent.
Best of luck

heh the carfasion one was no way gonna fit without very expensive fittting, perhaps my expectations are high but i feel that if a kit is made for a car it should fit, especially if its highly recommended, maybe thats just me
