Well, I ordered these from K-Spec, and for some reason they don't fit. I was wonderin' if anyone would know if I could salvage them by like, heating them up a bit and bending them into the right shape?

 

I'm guessing they sent you the wrong box. I would send them those pictures then send them back for a refund or the correct ones.

 

Yeah, it'll take alot more work to mold and bend them to fit than to just send them back for a refund or replacement.

 

I did send them the pictures, and we had a back and forth volley about it, and they said they sent me the correct ones. The ended up letting me keep them and refunding me the price minus shipping from it, so that's why I wondering if I could maybe fix 'em.

 

The back ones, you MIGHT be able to bend a little with a heat gun. But the front have too much of an angle. If you try bending them, even with heat applied, you'll end up with a crease in it, and it wont look good at all. But since you basically got them for free (minus shipping), my as well give it a shot. smile.gif

 

Yeah since they were practally free you could give a shot, but like V said the front will probally like F'ed up.

 

Go buy some locally. Those are beyond 'fixing.'

 

Figure out what they fit and sell them and buy some new ones.

Probably either a MC Accent or a HD Elantra from looking at them.

 

has anyone noticed that ALL of our aftermarket part stores SUCK!? Come on K-Spec, there's no facking way that those are the right one just by looking at the picture. There are so many horror stories from all of us about SFR, KSPEC, SR, all of them suck. wtf i quit

 

It's easy to remold them. Just use a heat gun. Keep in mind that the plastic will move more in the area that you heat up and just bend in areas that you do not. If you heat up a large area, then a large area will bend. It's tricky. If you've never worked with plastic before, i would not try it. I guess, maybe it's not as easy for you, but as long as you keep the surface in contact and use a cold wash cloth to mold it from both sides, you should be able to get the hang of it. Start with the back. Keep the heat gun around 400 if possible.
