25mm Front And Rear Guards

[DaGr81]

anyone in done this?

the 25mm wider front and rear guards from viva garage are quite cheap and could make a decent upgrade for me to fit wider rims with lower offset

from what i understand the rear gaurds need to be cut up and then these put into place

but if others have done this how much has it cost you to fit and paint them??????????????? let me know cheers , even if youve just done the rears a price range would help ive contacted a few places in sydney and they cant even give me a rough estimate , the fronts shouldnt be too expensive, but i did want to patch up the holes for the brake ducts coz i dont really like them

I would be interested in knowing the costs involved as well.

I agree with you DaGr81 the brake ducts don't look very appealing but I couldn't find any other fenders without them either.

yeah i was gonna get jetspeed to fill them in to make it smoother

anyone with some good info ?

ill be doin this sometime next month when i can be bothered already got the gaurds just need to fit em and buy a gtr fuel lid

as far as it goes screw it on with sikaflex then fibreglass it onto the body

although i hear theres a bonding agent that you use to fill the gap between the gaurds and shell of car and then you just sand it back and bog over it

[DaGr81]

hey man when you get it done please post up how much it cost you, any dramas and how long it took the shop to do it

Cheers

Yeah i done this to my r33 awhile back.

Basically have to chop the cars lip. Sikalfex the guard on, counter sink in some screws or rivets cut back 10cm or so from the ends of the panel and use fibreglass to mould it on and body filler to smoothen it out.

Costed me about $350 for the guards and $1000 to get it moulded on. 6 months down the track it started to get hairline cracks at the joins, so i went with GTR metal rear guards instead.

[Sloane]

damn that was a costly procedure gone wrong.

how much did you pick up the GTR metal rear guards for?
