aero kit install problem

dawgdog · 06-25-2007, 07:38 PM

I had the aero kit installed by a bodyshop and I'm not satisfied. I am trying to describe the problem to Longtran as he is gifted in this area, but was unable to figure out how to send a picture in the message program. Anyway, this is the part of the install that I find unacceptable. I need to get an email of what this should look like to jeff@hauryscollision.com.

Others have this problem? Easy solution?

It's because you have a 335 and they probably did not correctly modify the brake/oilcooler ducting. It prevents the bumper from properly fitting, and if they just bolted the far edges down, it would look just like that.

could be they forgot the metal support ( number 12) to support the bumper.
for the aligning part, just losen up the bolts and line it up to your liking.

Got my car back yesterday. I'm not sure it is perfect, but it is close. Longtran, your suggestion helped them. I wish I was in southern Cal and then I could have had you install the bumper. I have noticed that imperfections jump out more on silver than darker colors.

Thanks again for your help.
