I just recieved my replica type s rear. I got a 2012 tsx. Well today I was test fitting and I took off the mudguard first. Then when I try to line up the holes from the lip to the holes from the mudguard it didn't match. So I figured ok its a replica so ima have to drill and make new ones. I can't seem to line it up correctly. Like I try to put one screw in and then go on the other side and try to screw anotjer one in but it wont line up correctly. Oh and I have to take off the reflector of my bumper right ?

 

what kind of material is the replica made out of!?

and maybe you need a buddy to help align

 

Its poly urethane. I bought it from ebay baysonr. Tobwac and defcon has the same one. Its like when me and my brother I hold the sides together. The front pop out. Prolly need double side tape the front after screwing the sides in?

 

leave it outside in the sun for a day or so.
unless you live up north, it should be hot enough to warp it back to shape.

be sure to leave directly IN THE SUN and not just toss it outside.

 

Ok I left it on top of my roof lol. Let see if it get better. Anything gonna happen if it rain?

 

How about the reflectors. The strip light on the rear bumper? Do I have to take it off then put it overmy lip?

 

i believe you nee to take out oem reflectors and put it in the lip?

 

you need to take off the oem reflectors.

i drilled 2 holes in the back of the bumper to the lip so it doesnt sag in the middle

i was willing to drill holes into my "leased" car. hahaha

 

 

It got a little better sitting outside. But it started raining so yeah. Lol but the front still look shit

 

i used hit gun to mold it

 

Okay so you used a heat gun to push it back evenly on the bumper? And for the reflector do I just pop it out or how?

 

So I should use a heat gun to fix that warp on the front? Then paint it? Did u paint it first then had to use a heatgun to mold it? Or you put everything on first then painted it

 

install the lip first, then heat gun, then paint it

 

^what he said

 

Wells I'm not painting it. I'm giving it to this body shop to do it for me. So I gave them my lip already. They haven't started painting yet so should I get it back and install it then bring it back?
