Body Kit Installation

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: djekho

Ok Guys,
I need a little help. I have already purchased the Cervinis body kit and it arrived the other week. They sent me several rolls of double-sided tape to attach the body kit with. I am not too thrilled about this. I have been told that if I use the double-sided tape, I most likely will be seeing some of the parts coming off on about six-months later. I was suggested to find an epoxy that I can use to bond the parts to the car's body. I was told tech-bond is a good product, but it is not manufactured anymore. It was an A and B type epoxy that you would mix together and use. I have searched the internet and found product that are used in wood work and other type of bonding jobs but nothing that I can use on urethane to metal body kits.Can anyone suggest a simialr product and where I can get it? This delimma is holding me back from installing my body-kit and it is killing me .
I am also having a vortech supercharger installed this weekend on my 06 GT mustang! Any good or bad comments about this type of supercharger? I was told that I would only be getting 395 - 405 hp to the rear wheels; is this true? Reading the spec's on this supercharger it states that I would be getting 463 to the rear wheels! Can anyone shed some light on me of what I might be expecting to obtain out of installing this supercharger? Thanks guys in advice for any help.

So how is this project coming along? Any updates? I would suggest letting the body shop handle the install of the body-kit. I'm sure you won't have to many problems with it. Perhaps they could make custom brackets for it like they did my Cobra-R bumper

with no other upgrades and if you got the HO intercooled kit you should see approx 430-440 rwhp , on a completely stock engine to the tail pipes with a custom tune. the out of the box tune from Vortech will be ultra safe and net 410-425 rwhp all this info is from my install over a year ago w/ manual tranny

I recommend exhaust and upgrades to your fuel system for a safe usable 450-475 rwhp I also recommend a fuel pressure gauge and a wide band Air Fuel Ratio gauge to keep an eye on what's happening. I had a fuel pump failure within a week of the first install and saw it immediately without damage to anything else.
