Should I rip off my body kit? ADVICE NEEDED

[Skidney]

Hey

Ok. The owner before me has done the S**TEST job of putting on my body kit, and I want to remove it. I just want a standard body so I can lower it.

Ok, this is my problem. The rear bumper thingy is MOULDED OVER THE ORIGINAL CAR. Like, its been bogged to the car... but i can see its litterally right over the old rear end.

So if i unscrew it, bog is going to be holding it on. And im going to break it off.

Im just wondering what the original paint is going to be like underneath? Im sure no matter how bad it is, it cant look worse than it already is haha.

Ill get some pics up, and some pics of where its screwed to the body. I'm probably gonna try to take it off in a day or two..










Not lookin to cop abuse here... I'll admit it's the shittest look ever!

Oh and can someone recommend me some springs so i wont have a massive gap in the rear wheel arch? i want it pretty low once the bumper thing is off.

cheers

OMG thats bloody shocking without the sides!

May your hammer be mighty in removing it

edit: can notice the bog in 1st and 3rd pic! *facepalm*

[Skidney]

Mate I'm gonna be using my bare hands haha

but yeah you can see in the 3rd pic, thats where it is mainly attatched

[Dum*P*ster]

IMO. take it off, but keep em! (If you plan to buy the side skirts! - If , not.. Sell away )

[Skidney]

thats what im kinda tryin to say..


how the heck am i gonna get it all off in one go?

i figured im gonna unscrew it (screws in the wheel arch) and then when i go to pull it off, it will snap off where its bogged on..

[HICOMPVN]

get it off, and look for some paint, cos from what i can see you'll be respraying the rear end!!!!!!

and yeah i agree, that's the shittest body kit attachment i ever seen, the owner b4 u should be shot and the installer, if it was him that did it, well 2 birds with one stone lol

[Skidney]

I'm not too concerned with painting atm... they re painted it. You cant see in the pics, but there are runs n streaks n shit everywhere. its the shittest job so im not TOO worried.

[Timsgmh]

Yeah rip it off,it looks pox.The utes look ok with mild kits on but this is beyond mild.

[danja]

I say keep the kit on, but take the wheels off, weld up all the wheel arches and holes, chuck one of these bad boys on the back, and woooooohooooooo!!!!!!

[Timsgmh]

Now that my friend is what funny is.

[skruba]

be prepared to get a new rear bar, undo it all and if it does snap oh well get that shit off, sand back where all the bog is and then put new bar on

[Skidney]

much better... except the paint

[Cobez]

For the love of god, get rid of that front bar too.

[Skidney]

i dont have a standard one!

accepting donations though

Reminds me of the Toybota off top gear xD.

[Timsgmh]

Just make sure you cover any bare metal areas up with a good primer after sanding and for now use a touch up spray can mate otherwise it will be rusty and pox....Got an idea,put all the bodykit bits and the bog in the back of ya ute and you wont need a lowering kit(lol).

[Timsgmh]

Give Active Auto 08 83468000 a call(cbd adelaide)and see what they have in a normal vr or vs barfor the front(they may know who else to call) and i would say it will not be much.I dont know if you guys have a pick a part where you are but have a look at the wreckers mate.....do it on the cheap.

[Skidney]

I used to work at a holden wreckers so ill have no worries gettin a standard bar..

its just that I dont have a job at the moment so $$ is an issue.

[VP Cruiser]

man, as if u didnt wait 4 me 2 come help u rip it off, i personally think it added way 2 much to the ute and made me think to hard, keep it simple but just dump it and it will look tuff

[Skidney]

thats the plan jaak.

tryin to find some cheap ultralows for the back haha

[VP Cruiser]

lol if u only do the back it will just look like uve got 500kg's of cement in the back and people will laugh, haha, if ya save up for a bit then get it all done at the same time with new shocks, i got 4 king springs and 4 koni adjustable shocks for $600, get sumfin like that and put them in urself, its piss easy
