Body kits for mx3

Post by ftawizard »

Does a rear bumper for a 95 fit on a 96? I was basically given a body kit rear bumper and it don't seem to fit right
No I don't know what kind it is

Post a picture of it. It's aftermarket bumper cover (fiberglass I presume) so I would be surprised if it just bolted right up on the car without any work needed.

This is why companies that produce these kits strongly suggest professional installation. You probably have to modify things a bit to get that bumper to fit properly. See what you can do to get that puppy raised up. Be creative, I used a plastic bread board cut into strips to shim and straighten up the bumper on my 96. :D

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I bet it fits just fine. You have something misaligned. I've seen some really poor quality body kits but I've never seen one that far out of alignment. I had my bumper off several times this summer and it can be a bit of a whoooer to get it all lined up.

Take it off and have a carefull look for where it's hung up. It's definitely not on there right.
