i bought a vader bodykit recently and ligned the front two peices together and noticed this gap. Did anyone else have this problem? And can it be easily fixed. Here is a pic of what i mean??

This side is ligned up.



And this is what the other side looks like.



Can anyone help??

Whats the maker?

I kinda wanna say mine did this as well, but once its bolted up, it'll fit. But I got rid of it so long ago I cant remember.

What do you mean whats the maker?

I'm just hopeing that it all goes together. I know there is gonna be some modifications, but i hope this one i don't need to worry about because its kind of a big gap. Any one else know if this is gonna be a problem or not?

it should be fine after you bolt it together, depending on how much give the body kit is going to give you. mine had a similiar problem, and i got it to be flush with eachother. But haha it didnt fit right on the car so i need to modify it.

i got mine from boosted but it was the same, after u put the bolts in and let it sit for like a day or two it will flex out to perfect, dont worry about it wont be like that when the bolts are in

Yea his is made by "VIS"

but to fix that gap and such

disassemble the bumper and install the larger upper piece first
once you have that onto the car and bolted in, then fit that lower lip

that helps with most of the fitment issues...if it isn't evened out then you could probably just redrill the holes for better alignment

Nother question. When you go to put the front vader bumper on. Did you guys take the metel saftey bar off?

don't take it off, you have to whip out a dremel and cut away the INSIDE of the bumper and trim to fit with the bar

K, well the kit fits with it how it is. But the thing is the bar shows through the mouth of the kit, didn't know if i had to take it off or maybe just cut half of it off or paint it. I didn't know how everyone else got it so you can't even notice that its there on some peoples vader front clips.

i had that problem. also the light holes didnt reach the lights and there was a 1-2 inch gap all the way around. you will need to add fiberglass so that there is no misalignment and so it will go straight down.

lol im still trying to get mine to fit perfectly, the high beams didn't line up right with mine, and i had problems with the hood being flush with the bumper.

Wow, When i was asking around before i bought the kit, people were saying there wasn't much modification needed to fit it. and now seems like there is more people saying differently lol. O-well i still am gonna have to do it lol thanks for your help guys.

I dont mean to steal your thread away, but if I were to get a new carbon fiber hood, do yall think it would sit flush with my vader bumper, I have an oem hood right now and I dont know if they had to mess with the hood, to make it fit the way it is now, but you cant mess with carbon fiber, so has anyone had this problem?
