KBD BODY KITS - INSTALLATION GUIDE - Tarmac Sportz

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

Hi All

 

The KBD Bodykits have started to arrive now, we have had to order some custom boxes for shipping which should arrive very soon and then we will be shipping via a budget freight courier 

 

I just wanted to put a guide together as this is a fairly new product to the UK and from experience normal body shops may have no experience with Polyurethane bumpers

 

Firstly we are shipping these without them being folded - in America they are shipped in small boxes as below

 

 

 

Even though we haven't shipped them in folded they will arrive with you distorted due to the way they are stacked for the journey to the UK.

 

To get the memory release agent to activate the bumper is going to require heat, sadly in the UK we don't get as much sun as they do in the USA so bear that in mind

 

Some people use a heat gun, or put the item in a heated paint booth or other heat source for approximately 10-20 minutes. This will activate the memory agent.

 

Once it has come back to shape its going to need prepping for paint, theres a video here 

 

 

 

 

 

Also have a read here for FAQs and KBDs guides:

DO NOT HAND THE BUMPER OVER TO A BODYSHOP WITHOUT SPEAKING TO THEM FIRST ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SHOWING THEM THE GUIDES - THE CHANCES ARE THEY WON'T BE EXPERIENCED WITH POLYURETHANE

The key is in the prep work !!!

 

 

Remember these bumpers are practically indestructible, perfect for drifters, slammed cars,  or anyone that is fed up with cracking FRP parts in car parks or on rural roads, we have all seen pictures of road kill obliterating bumpers.
