SuperMade Light Bucket install HELP!

[pink godzila]

I just got them install the SuperMade Light for 180sx. The thing when I close down the hood it touch the passenger side bucket and make it really hard to make the hood to close. How can I fit this?

Also, what do you use to glue the cover onto the bucket? *it is fiberglass, so what kind glue can hold really strong incase they fly off when Im driving!!

Picture added: *hood touch bucket, if I push more toward front the bumper strech and crack.






DONE!!!! FINALLY!!!

will the taping part is kinda hard as well = = the edge just dont stick together!!! F*****KKKK

there is no real adjustment where it contacts the hood---but the hood should not touch the bucket---should be a gap like every other body panel

i would slot the holes a little more and adjust them forward and then use big washers

as for glue---i would use a structural adhesive and use some 80 grit sand paper to rough it up a little
---


me im doing something a little different with mine and not using the covers but something else

^^ Thanks, but some how when I close down the hood it touch the right side bucket, I have to push forward the bucket to close the hood.

Where can I get Structural Adhesive?? I never heard of this product before... Homedepo? Walmart?... also you sand the cover or the bucket??

[wowitsaboy]

Structural adhesive can be found at home depot or really any hardware store that deals with construction. I think when he said sand down the buckets, I think he meant just the contact points were you will be gluing.

**edit**

I would try rivets to hold the covers down, but if you are going the clean look, adhesive works fine

^^ Thanks Too!!!

I just got email from OneTonGarage... they guy said used strong 3m double stick tape and it will work and hold really good. I think Ill try the 3M first if the 3M not work as he said then ill go with the Adesive.

But right now I try to adjust the passenger side bucket to make it fit so when close down the hook it won't touch the bucket......

Picture added for better info!! HELP!!

Why not adjust the hood. Loosen the screws on the hinges adjust the hood towards the front windshield. Bolt up. Done.

Also a good tip for the 3m tape. A step that most people forget to add is the 3M adhesion promoter. Its a bit on the expensive side but it'll keep you from seeing your headlight cover fly off on the highway. If you are going to do it, might as well do it right the first time.

3m 8005 or 8010... shit works great

Yeah try this, the brackets are slotted.

[pink godzila]

Finally!! Got it fit but is not perfect... SuperMade made the bucket bit bigger.

Just order some 3M moding tape for auto and some 3M adhesion promoter, shit thoese things are expenisve in store!!! also I cannot even find any 3M adhesion promoter in Homedepot or any auto part shop. So I order through Ebay it is lot cheaper but the down side is gatta wait 2 or 3 days to get here.

I will post up picture when it finish. Also If anyone need help or you still deciding to buy them ASK me.

I would deff. use construction adhesive over TAPE.

[AznDrftr.]

yea mine did the same thing, it'll touch, i just kinda shaved mine down a little bit, better yet, i just kinda bent down the bracket where you mount it, so the light sits right underneath the hood so it'll close firmly.

DONE... now just need to test if fly off on the freeway hahah
