I just received an evo 4 fiberglass body kit for my mitsu mirage. I got it from extreme dimensions. I know they will all need some work, but this one is awfull. nothing fits and its just beat up pretty bad. I am going to return it, but I wanted to know what a good brand to go with would be. I would preffer a urethane kit, But I also heard good things about v-fiber. Any help would be great. thanks

did you buy it direct from them? I havent had a real problems with any of their kits. it should of came made with the flexible fiberglass. truthfully extreme dimesions has one of the best kits available for the price alot of the other companies fitment is terrible, thats why I would double check to make sure you have an extreme dimensions kit and not a copy

there are so many companies coping body kits you have to be carefull you didnt get a copy that says its the real one or the same style. one company makes a bad copy and then the next 5 companies make bady copies of the bad one and before you know it the one you purchased is so screwed up theres no way it hell it will even fit

solar is right. ED is one of the better fitments. basically any evo conversion kit you buy for your mirage is gonna need some work unless you get the original that will run you into the thousands from bulletproofautomotive.com. if you want DIRECT fitment buy theirs.

you'll need custom work to mount the fogs anyway

thanks. I actually got it from a site called andysautosport.com. It says its an ED kit, but the one on the official ED site was a little more spendy. I found another one at grounddynamics.com. Does anyone have any experiance with them?

I used to get my kits from andysautosport and the fitment was not always the best, some fit well and some dont. these kits are mass produced and when their pulled from the mold they sit on a shelf pushed together with other kits and they bow out and thats the shaped they take. ED kits are made with polyflex fiberglass which allows it to bend, so its easier to fit the kit but it cost more. call extreme dimensions and asked them if the place you are getting the kit from is a dealer for them so you can make sure you are getting a real ED kit

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
