Essential Body Kit Installation Guide for Coupe Owners > 자유게시판

When installing a body kit on your coupe thorough preparation is essential for a factory-quality outcome. Begin by degreasing and wiping down all contact areas using an automotive-grade cleaner and ensure the surface is 100% moisture-free. It maximizes bond strength for brackets and tapes.

Do a dry assembly before making permanent modifications. Lay each component in place and check for alignment with the factory lines of the car. Irregularities should be fine-tuned while the parts are still loose. Hold pieces with removable tape to inspect fitment from multiple perspectives, when viewing under both indoor and outdoor light.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely. Some kits come with pre-drilled holes, while others require you to mark and drill your own. 8" bit, then step up in size to prevent stress fractures. Be careful not to drill into any wiring, fuel lines, or structural components beneath the body panels.

Apply weather-resistant, UV-stable bonding agents made for offroad auto part body work. Use just enough to create a seal — wipe away any squeeze-out immediately. Use a roller or squeegee to maximize surface adhesion. Wait at least one full day — longer in cold or humid conditions.

If your body kit includes spoilers or diffusers, make sure they are securely bolted to reinforced points on the chassis. Structural integrity demands mechanical fastening for high-stress components. Re-torque all hardware after 50–100 miles of driving.

Follow the supplier’s guidance on painting sequence. Cover adjacent panels, trim, and glass with precision masking materials. Matching the OEM color and finish is critical for a cohesive look.

Take your time, be patient, and don't rush the process. The right installation transforms your ride; the wrong one invites costly repairs. Hiring a specialist can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
