I can understand riveting to the rear quarter but taking the rear bumper off is an essential for me so maybe in my case id use riveting nuts on the bumper

Good point, if your widebody overlaps panels I can understand using rivnuts where they are needed.

Damn, that s2k is clean! Dude, clecos are a game changer when it comes to anything sheet metal related. Love the side clamps for flat panel work. Killer video as always man.

@lock_to_lock yeah buddy. Merry Christmas. Hope Santa brought you some wisecos for the SR.

Great video! Saving it for later. The previous owner of my S2K butchered the fenders when he tried rolling/pulling them. As a result, I'll probably go wide-body eventually.

This was an awesome video, I am definitely saving this video for my first widebody install.

Nice. I need to do this too for mine, since i only used carbon fiber bondo to sealed it 4-5 years ago. Good video! Very informative. Since i will be repainting the car, i will need do this as well.

Glad it was helpful! Can't beat the peace of mind having it sealed off from the elements

Great video, I'll definitely be doing the same when I install my wide body kit, with the front guards, they don't have an inner guard that needs to be cut does it?
@lock_to_lock8 күн бұрын
On most cars, the front typically has a plastic splash guard that will either need trimmed or removed.

the arch is very well done! way better, safer and nicer then most people do. but before putting on that black stoneguard stuff on the bare metal i wouldve at least primered the arches twice. especially on bare metal you need to build a proper paint build up. and especially when that part gets basically sandblasted by the tire all the time. if that car is more then just a trailer queen then there will be bare metal again very fast. also you didnt speak about what you do to the inside of the wheelarches i think? if the car isnt properly protected there as well, rust will eventually form on the welds. btw. i think rivnuts are great for kits like that. its a good thing if you can remove your kit without a hassle to repair maybe a crack, repaint a part quickly, fix your inner arches or just clean behind it. 🤷♂️
@lock_to_lock6 ай бұрын
Good point on the primer before applying rocker guard, I will do that in the future! As for the inside portion I will certainly look into using a weldable primer. Rivnuts are great in many cases, but imo they look goofy on widebody.
@99Lezard996 ай бұрын
@@lock_to_lock id use at least some rust protection wax on the inside of the arches. on an s2000 bit hard to reach every inch of the arch but it is possible and the car is protected.
@MrManBuzzАй бұрын
Good points. They should be primed, then seam sealed. Then put that rockchip stuff over it.

@@lock_to_lock being ugly is an entirely invalid argument for this video 😂 In the video you claim "stop pretending you're going to take the wide body off". Wrong. Wide bodies become a wear item on track cars and they do come off. Rivnuts can be re used and take 30 seconds to remove the panel. Rivets have to be drilled out and restocked every time you take the panel off. You don't have to like rivnuts but this video and your reasons for it make you sound like a moron. No one is saying rivnuts look good. But on a track car they just make sense.
