i was wondering..for those with gp sport rears "real ones or knock offs"..how does the rear cap stay on?? i knoe you can put 2 screws on the side behind the back wheels..but what about the side part on the bumper??? i was told by a couple of body shops to either rivet it..or mold it.. any info would help..thanks

-minh

 

I think most would use double sided tape and rivets. I would look into molding it though, it would sure look better.

 

i dont think doubleside tape would help at all..

 

You have to rivet it in and sand it flush.

 

but would you see the rivet holes? or should i just bondo the holes??

 

We apoxied a screw from the inside of the skirt. After a few ours of drying the screwing won't budge from the torque used to fasten it to the body.

 

PICTURES would help too!!

 

yea... gallery=pictures.

 

anyone else??

 

Don't we already have a thread about this circulating in S2000 Talk right now?

Anyway I used a combination of epoxy, wood, gorilla glue, and a hot glue gun - laughing yet - this was one crazy install.

First off it took a ton of sanding to get a fitment I was happy with. Then we (I say we because it becomes a 3 man job) layed down a layer of gorilla glue inside the tops of the rear pieces, then put very thin pieces of wood (like paint stick thin) on top of the glue. To make sure the wood wasn't going anywhere while the gorilla glue dried we used a hot glue gun to hold it in place around the edges. Once things were holding steady enough we epoxied the wood to the rear bumper of the car - at this point it became a 3 man job because it took 3 of us to hold that small little rear piece in place for a good 5-10 minutes while the epoxy setup.

There was a lot of test fitting, and if we found an area too high we sanded, if we found a spot too low we built small layers of expoxy. It is a long process, but you can knock it out in an afternoon (I think it took us about 4 to 5 hours), but it was my only choise as there wasn't a body shop in town who would touch the rear pieces so I had to find some creative help from friends.



Yes - this is a ghetto jerry-rigged install. It is the craziest install I've ever been a part of, but it works.
