I'm getting my w type wagon rear pretty soon, i ordered it last minute and didn't really think about it. Today i just realize that my liscense plate is real low. The reason im asking for advice is that, my friend that is painting my car doesn't know how to deal with cutting and molding back on polyurethane. Can anybody give me little instructions or tips that would make this job any easier?? How do you deal with the liscense plate??? juss cut it??? and then what??

 

youre in over your head

 

^ put it this way you should take it to a professional that makes and fabricates custom kits. The way I've done mine was to cut in half, shave down the area of the top of the lip flat, rivet, fiberglass filler, flexing glazing puddy to fill low parts, prep, paint. It's pretty hard, and involved.

 

daym i didn't know it was that complicated, i guess its not as easy as it looks....

 

yeah what they all said you got in over your head i would of researched it for a while

im just now getting my lip and its a type w accord lip from a 98 EX and i will have to mod it a little but not much


you should converge with us a little more before buying shit that you dont know much about, cause a lot of people on here have lots of knowledge

 

so whats the differents between a 98 ex one and the 95 one?

 

oh yeah i forgot, it's the newer model. See that's the thing, i did do a search on this and some said it will work after you cut sections in the middle and glued or mold back on and it will be not too much modifications, so if that is the real case, i believe my boy can do it. He's a pro i think he would do alright....

 

so is it almost impossible??? because i think i might still can cancel, because i don't think they shipped it out over the weakend.... but if it is possible, more help would be very appreciated....

 

got any pics of the rear lip?


i wanna see how that would look like

 

dude, its possible....but if "your boy" doesnt know how to cut, shave, and mold a rear lip then you better find someone that can do it......or else, sell itto me and ill put it on my car

 

You'd be better off trying to find a nice fiberglass lip. It be way easier to work with. Polyurethane sucks. I tried 3 different methods befor I finally got it rite.

 

alright, we'll see, i might take that in consideration.....

 

but that's what i was wondering, i asked all of the performance shop and they said they don't make any fiberglass lips for honda accord.... that was our first agenda...

 

so if i don't want the back, you would be interested in buying it right??
i'll hook you up with a good price...

 

well let me know cause ima be doing some more body work soon.... so let me know asap

 

Give me atleast 3 weaks. kit coming in 2 weaks.

it can be done. have no idea how though. ross used magic on mine. my front has been smashed and curbed to hell (thnx g/f) and not one single crack in the body work.

 

My main problem in the begining was not to mold it. This was because If I sold the car, I didn't want to have to replace the whole rear bumper. Anyway you look at it, for strength, the lip needs to be riveted, screwed directly to the bumper then filled in place to keep shape.

 

Yeah thats the kind of tip i need, thanks mang.
