i could see 12 hrs of work for a kit that has extra lips left as well as pieces missing. also a kit that chunks off in front of you and has holes in it. should i keep listing the problems i saw with dans kit?

edit: here you go since pics are worth a 1000 words...

 

Your friend's bumper and this guy's bumper came from teh same mold. There is another mold that does not fit well, and it is not from Import Trenz. I bet you $100 that if this guy tries to slip on the pieces on his own, he will see that they are 95%+ fitting (same as your friend's. no one is 100%). This guy's main gripe is quality about being able to see light through it. That is a moot point as it is simply coloring of the gelcoat. His other problem is that he got charged $$$$$ from his body shop for the prep. I could have referred him to a shop in Florida (Jacksonville or Gainsville) that could have done the job just as well with a quoted 3 hours prep MAX per piece with the same outcome. How do I know? I've sent numerous cars out to these places and the outcome is always good.

Let me tell you what the problem is. Everyone has their own definition of perfect and good fitment. I highly suspect that California shops and other areas that have done body kits will tell you that these kits fit well and while other shops that don't do a lot of frp body kits for imports and the such will tell you straight out that this is the worst kit they've seen on the planet. Take it from someone who's seen it all, this is a pretty good kit.

 

I wont go any further but I can tell you my shop and many others wont even touch these kits. Body shops have learned the hard way. You get what you pay for! The G isnt a Civic just yet.

 

Stop sugar coating your **** poor product and man up. I saw dan's kit and it was complete crap. Damn thing had a freakin hole in it!! You have done nothing (literally, you have ignored his repeated attempts to get a hold of you) to rectify this and amicably resolve this matter with dan. Instead you have decided to attack him...through a different screen name nonetheless. Pffffft.

You want to talk about different definitions, your definition of "a pretty good kit" is laughable.

Take your bush league product off these boards and STFU

 

 

you know i only asked for 200 back and i thought that was very reasonable and i would have been a happy customer, but you choose not to help.

 

lol, oh what a lil bit of quick researchin can reveal

 

how about this
you want to make me a happy customer and prove that your kit isnt crap why dont you send me a complete new one and ill have it put on the car and see how that one fits.


its not that the kit was so thin its all the air pockets that were underneath the gelcoat. i still have bubbles coming up and the kit has been sanded preped and painted over 5 times already

 

i also find it funny that your name is boostinmr2
because danny has one as well and its on his site. www.int-auto.com
you know i havent seen him postin a while and look who pops up.

 

For $200 bucks, you could have made an angry customer happy and this would have been put to bed. Instead, you stood strong (ie. hiding behind the cloak of the internet to ignore every attempt dan made to contact you) and I hope this thread comes up in every search to prospective buyers of your products. You only have yourself to blame in making this issue a mountain out of the proverbial molehill.

Enjoy...........

 

this is very sad to read. sorry for the headache man, hope it works out. stuff like this ruins it for the other vendors too. not a good way to run a business.

 

Please stop spreading heresay and this and that...none of this i heard from xyz person so it must be true. DON'T SPEAK ON THE FORUMS IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE of the validity.

FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Plastic.

Fiberglass is the fiber portion of FRP. We say fiberglass as it's less cryptic than FRP.

Resin is the "Plastic" in the FRP. Without resin, a sheet of fiberglass cloth cannot take shape. The fiberglass gives structural strength/integrity to the "plastic" (resin). One without the other would be incomplete.

Everyone got it? Fiberglass is FRP. FRP is fiberglass. PFRP is still fiberglass. It is simply a different mixture of resin (most likely they use a vinylester resin rather than polyester. I don't want to get into this matter right now...too much to explain.) Companies like Ing's +1 use the term PFRP to describe the vinylester based products they sell. Theoretically, this stuff is more flexible than regular FRP - well atleast it is advertised to be. I invite people with Hybrid Aero / AKA PFRP to try and twist their products as they are advertised to be able to do...What you will find is that they are NOT flexible- why not you ask? I don't know, but suspect it to be a chemical mixture that is still not flexible enough in the cured state.

There. That is the REAL explanation of FRP, PFRP, and fiberglass.

 

You sire, are right about waves. That is something QC must do, perhaps Eric or whoever sells it. Even better- the manufacture should QC it...

 

i love how you avoid all the solutions posted

why dont you stop attacking other members and posting things that have nothing to do with the problem.

 

from my understanding, dan called danny/importtrenz multiple times about this. how come no one ever picked up or returned his phone calls/PMs? that would have been a perfect time to suggest a body shop...
