Crappy fitment of hiro rears.., how did u do it? Options

[njccmd2002]

Unfortunately i bought my splitters from someone that bought it from someone, and long story short fit like sh!t!

i did a preliminary fitment and looked ok, and went ahead and painted. however, they fit like crap, and they are painted. wonder if i fix them or just toss them...

anyhow, i have no way of securing them in the front, how did u gys do it? I have already drilled my bumper silly.....

these are pics from underneath, and should i make brackets, or just get vncents.....

I bought a set from a member, who got them from a member as well too, I think they were originally a vdoggy product.

The ones I have fit well to the quarter, I just had to drill two new mounting holes on the inner fender and the back of the bumper. Are the positioned correctly or was it casted from a crappy mold?

Hi,
these are definitely copies and most definitely very bad mold (the originals wrap "all the way around" so the bottom mounting bracket secures them to the bolt shown in pic 1 and sit flush with the wheel arch).
Personally I would suggest to get a set of originals (if it is affordable for you) they will fit 100%
Good luck.

if i align them with fender they shoot up 45 degrees in the rear....

seems like they got warped. you can get a heat gun and heat them up, since they are fiberglass, and then twist them back

I actually went outside to look at the rears and mines do have the gap, and they would shoot up 45* like you said.

EDIT: you need to make an L bracket of some kind and screw it in to hold it in place. that's how they were previously mounted on another members coupe. seems to work fine on my coupe.

With the screws on the inner well and the rear bumper it would still hold with no problem and tight to the bumper. the one underneath is for assurance if you will..

sorry for the confusion.
