CF Spoon spoiler

[harwood39]

yes, but like he said, his wing doesnt fit right. thats why you by the more expesive stuff.

Bomex (AND OTHERS...actually, almost all body kits) kits don't <u>NECESSARY</u> fit <u>(MOUNT UP/Align with the holes)</u> for shit either...and they're plenty expensive. Sounds like on his all he needed to do was hone out the holes a bit to get the bolts to go in all the way...that or get different bolts.

Edited for those that were taking what I said out of context, not implying bad gaps from bomex kits, just that the holes aren't always perfect either.

ya, sounds like just need different bolts. On the hand of price, a Vis Spoon style spoiler is in the $260 range plus shipping, while an authentic Spoon one is over $500, at least from what I had found.

Hey Ry i was next to you on 13th today. Had my Cf spoon mirrors and the Cf spoon spoiler on. Finally got the screws to go in after some tinkering around. LOOKS SWEET.

Actually scott's bomex and justins fit pretty well from what i remember. way better than the veilside side skirts.. and their kits were only around 1400 with mirrors. not to expensive for a body kit

thats what I thought. After taking a second look and realizing that you had the CF spoiler on, I believed it was you. Nice job on the car so far. Keep it up.

thanks. i got a lot left to do. I would to paint and body work but as of right now its being driven this winter so that will be next spring. Shooting to get a little drop and some 16 rota circuit 8s in bronze to. So much as long as the money rolls in it will keep changing.

Also i dont see anything wrong with scotts kit. His car is really nice and he hasnt over done anything on it. For having a kit on it and what not i would say its a pretty damn clean car.

[ticklemedaly]

Ya, i dont have too much left to do, was going to start with the entertainment/sound system, but with this inconvience of the egging, that will set me back awhile now. good luck with your work.

I didn't see yours go on, so I can't comment there. The three bomex kits I did see (including scherlings) took a LOT of work to get them to fit right. I watched caleb spend many an hour building up the fiberglass to get a mounting point put on.

Your kit does look good on your car, I didn't see what was required to get it there so I cannot comment. What I was getting at is that most kits (even expensive ones) fit like crap w/o some modifications. Of course, there are always exceptions to any rule on this.

What the hell are you talkin about Chuck? My kit didnt take much at all, Caleb said "It's one of the best fitting kits I have put on." I even think you where there when he said that. That Cavy with the book shelf on the rear bumper is a REPLICA Bomex and took hours upon hours of fitting. Have you even seen my car? Cuz ur talkin like you have never seen it. Mine fits perfect, no body gaps what so ever. The only problem my kit had was one of the side skirts was warped when i got it, and the front bumper hugs a lil tight. Bomex is not expensive by any means, for the quality it is a hell of a deal. List price for my kit is $1245.00 for the full kit. Now for a C-West for my car its $2,000. EVERY bodykit requires "fitting" just some more than others. Sorry i am kinda goin off the deep end cuz Chuck you where there and fitment was never a problem. It just seems like ur a different person when ur on here than when talking to you in person.

uhh....wow.... any thread turned everyone on everyone. I can attest that Bomex kits fit very well out of the box. The knock-offs on the other hand, are just as good as the next korea/taiwan/etc junk kit.

Back TO THE THREAD TOPIC...

Glad you are happy with your wing, looked like a really nice piece when it came in. Sometimes the replica stuff isn't very great quality, but I was pleased with the quality for the price for sure on the spoon style wing!

I'm not disputing it was one of the best fitting he ever put on, he just had a bit of work to get it to mount right (fit was probably the wrong word to use in hindsight). From what he told me, he needed to extend the lip on the bumper enough to have a hole to line up with the mounting points on the body. I never said your car didn't look good, just that it took a bit to get it to mount up right (which is what I was trying to get at since the OP said that his holes weren't right or something to that affect.) As for the Cavy, it started with a Replica Bomex kit that fit like ass (especially in the rear) but it currently has a true Bomex Kit on it and while the rear fit much better it still wasn't perfect and I think Caleb even said the replica front fit better than the real one that he got.

I went back and edited what I wrote so that it will be easier to understand what I meant.

Nope, I've said it in person, i'll say it on here, and if you ask anyone that I hang out with they'll tell you that I really like your car. However, unlike when in person, if I say something I may get asked to clarify what I mean right away whereas on here everyone reads what I have said and I may not have come across as clearly as I would have liked to have so people get the impression that I'm talking shit about their car.

I am glad you cleared that up for those who didn’t understand you. But you and I both know that NO body kit can just be "bolted up". So I think the wording should be. Body kits in general don't NECESSARY fit (MOUNT UP/Align with the holes) for shit either.... You cant just single out one. Your taking my words to literally here, come on now. So there is no confusion. Caleb said it fit very well and without much trouble. I bet if I asked him he would say it required the normal amount of work to “fit” a body kit. Now with that said I don’t wanna sound like I am on a head hunt here but this thread was mentioned to me today in conversation so I thought I would check it out. Someone’s opinion is just that, their opinion. I just found it odd that Bomex was picked out for not fitting well, and having pieces from them I know that is not the case. One more thing, was the red caps necessary? Lil overboard…

Only reason I mentioned Bomex was that it was the only kit I'd seen go on start to finish besides my own. My front bumper would have fit w/o mod had I not had a huge FMIC, my sideskirts don't fit real well (which reminds me, I need to talk to caleb about that) and my rear bumper bolted right on, all that was needed there was to rivet the mounting hardware to the new bumper shell. As it was, my front bumper was a pain in the ass because of the FMIC, we literally had to cut little triangles out of the lower front bumper between the IC and the foglights to get it on far enough....then we had to fill the holes....not fun.

[Efini]

Ur one of the lucky ones

[Guest]

I know, my good fitting front/rear were more than made up for by the side skirts fitting like ass though (I do have gaps there)
