so i got this s13 coupe dmax STYLE roof wing off ebay, thinking its a good deal. first i had to wait two weeks to get then when i got it the fitment sucks

. has anyone had the same problem, rather it be ebay, dmax, origin? is there maybe a way to sorta bend it alil with heat or something?

**ThatGuy** · 06-21-2009, 09:58 AM

So... you bought a KNOCK-OFF from EBAY and...

you're surprised that it fits like shit?

Congratulations on getting what you deserved.

You can try try heating and re-bending it, but it's only held on with double sided tape when it's all said and done.

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 10:09 AM

well i thought ill give it a shot, concidering he garenteed fitment would be 100 percent . i mean yeah i got what i paid for but shit it was deal. was just wondering has anybody else had any problems with theirs.

mikefc · 06-21-2009, 10:18 AM

any more pics of your chest?

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 10:37 AM

um thats my dad fruit loop.

YoungGun · 06-21-2009, 10:40 AM

Zipties .

ranger240 · 06-21-2009, 10:43 AM

so the other person in the photo is your mom? any pics of her chest?

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 10:49 AM

lol naw zipties wont work. i was thinking of heating it up alil just to curve it down. i was wondering is some one had any insight in this problem.

Brian · 06-21-2009, 11:23 AM

1. Heat it up with something and try to WARP it so that it might fit somewhat ok.

2. Contact ebay guy (if possible) and explain that it is terrible and ask for a new one or refund. That will probably be a slim chance and if he says OK, then you'll probably need to pay for shipping back to him AND shipping to you on a new one.

3. Start reading Zilvia and WHY people don't suggest getting cheap knock offs. My brain explodes on itself everytime I read something like this. There are some of us that understand this whole concept and try to help others (such as yourself) from getting a piece of shit.

4. Live and learn. Think about this next time you see a "great deal" on a knockoff part from ebay.

randyjordan · 06-21-2009, 11:23 AM

hahahaha

that sucks

dont even bother heating it up, i'd break it in half and toss it at some random biker riding in front of my house

TanaMU · 06-21-2009, 11:28 AM

If it's fiberglass heating it wont do any good. You see, fiberglass resin is a thermoset. Google it if you dont know what that means, but basically it doesn't respond to heat the way a thermoplastic would.

Brian · 06-21-2009, 11:35 AM

just FYI, heat can and will warp a fiberglass part.
Trust me.

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 01:43 PM

by heating it u mean like baking it or just a torch from a distance?

**ThatGuy** · 06-21-2009, 01:46 PM

And...

Marc240 · 06-21-2009, 01:50 PM

You are going to have a very hard time trying to bend this part to make it fit.

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 01:52 PM

yea i think ima just send it back to um.

couldn't have said it better myself. even though i have a knockoff wing, but i kind of test fitted it at least. now you know, live and learn.

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 04:43 PM

fuck it. cant get mad now, just gotta get the real dmax one on monday.

aoiken3 · 06-21-2009, 05:02 PM

if the guy said THAT would be 100% perfect fitment, i'd demand my money back as soon as i got it

*jspecusa* · 06-21-2009, 05:20 PM

that's not even a copy of Dmax wing
looks like a gpsport for the 240 hatch, find one and test fit it.

s13newb · 06-21-2009, 05:29 PM

just throw one of the tits on the wing and wait till it bends to size

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 05:40 PM

ima send it back to him tomorrow and just get a refund. yeah he said fitment would be 100 percent or money, different one, back. so i should be str8.

clark · 06-21-2009, 05:49 PM

you sure you didn't get a hatchback wing by accident?

2nd that. If you look at it...it seems to have the 240sx fastback curve.

im sorry

but since when does a fucking hatchback look like that

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 06:11 PM

i was thinking that too but after looking at the dmax coupe and hatch wing, it looks like the coupe wing is alil different.

its as simple as knowing hatchback glass doesnt curve around the sides like the coupe.

whitecrab · 06-21-2009, 06:15 PM

sorta looks like the s15 one.
