Hi guys, first post on the forum wooo :rofl:

Anyways I'm from Perth and was wandering how much it will approximately cost me to get new side skirts and rear pods installed professionally.

Cheers, Simon.

Edit: Oh and I've already removed the old skirts and pods.

It all depends mate...on whether you want to go genuine or replica, a good paint job or not and whether you need a lot of fabrications done or not.

Have a look here: www.carmate.com and look at what kits you want then call around a few panel shops for quotes. A full kit would cost approx $1K and paint would cost around $800 fitted so be prepared to have around $1,800.

mate the easiest way to answer your question is to go around to a couple of pannel shops with the parts you have and ask them. its that easy

if you buy genuine then all you need the shop to do it paint them and you would be able to fit them up yourself as its not hard

Thing is with cheap fibreglass ones like carmate you have hours and hours of labour having to putty up inperfections if you want it to look half decent I remember spending ages on my carmate kit but if you do yourself your losing labour but if you plan on a panel shop it will cost ya.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
