boy......hmmm....was it like that after you got your car back from the place doing the kit for you? I don't know what could possibly bent it outwards like that.Stumped me.

[phatG-A]

yeah i got it back that way, but i when i signed off on recieving the car back i didn't notice it cause i was inspecting the kit. i should have realized to inspect the car also:( the bad part is the company who makes the kit subleted it out to a bs to do the install.

well if the company did that its got me stumped on how they could of done it.But yea prolly should have inspected it,taken pics b4 you let them put their hands on it and then look at it after you get to the place and you leave,take pics as well. I don't think putting on a kit would cause it to bend,unless someone bumped their head REALLY hard.

i bet they bent the fender when they were installing the body kit. it would take a pretty hard hit in oder to bend the fender, and the bumper would probly break first.

after seeing that my fender was bent . i checked the front bumper and it has the usual scrapes, but no cracks or anything

Well I don't know how much of a risk it is but if you were brave enough you could take a soft thick towel or rag and just slowly lean up against the area and just try to bend it back in,VERY slowly,might take some time.That or just step back and look at it from every angle and if its not that bad then don't worry about it until your able to get it fixed,even tho it shouldn't have happened in the first place,your stuck with it getting fixed,if you do and its really bad enough.

it dosent matter its just bent, i know mine are bent and i asked my dad if we can fix them he said im better off just getting new fenders because its to much piss'n around to fix.

[phatG-A]

yeah i saw one on ebay motors for like 40 bucks, but thats besides the poin. the bs who put my kit on screwed up my fender not me. so i feel that they are responsible to replace it.

[car audio dave]

they are but if you signedthe car out and didnt note that then youre probably gonna be screwed. thats a really crappy thing to happen when you jsut got your kit installed. sorry to see something like that happen.

[phatG-A]

yeah me too lol

[phatG-A]

well it looks like the company who i got my kit from is going to come through for me and make the bs shop pay to get it repaired. i just got one estimate of 1400 bucks to replace, paint and buff the over spray off my car

[redfox]

damn you should be able to get your kit painted for that damn, all they have to do is remove the old fender and slap a new one on, an hour tops

[phatG-A]

well not only that put paint it, blend it to match the hood and door. i think the majority of the time is going to be buffing out all the over spray from the other bs

[redfox]

so they are painting your kit 2?

[phatG-A]

nope.lol
