Cost of Body Ports Installs?
I have some imperfect paint on my Camaro, and I was wondering if I could cut that off of my car and replace with ports, like the ones from ACS or 3dCarbon. Of course, that means I need more parts, paint, and help with install.
For those of you that did ports, how much did that run you to have a shop do it? |
nobody wants to help a mod out huh?
I don't think cutting is actually too hard tbh. might be worth a try |
My camaro has the ACS T3 ports. I had a local shop paint them and I installed them. You need to remove the fascia. I placed mine on two saw horse stands padded with styrofoam to prevent damage while I cut the port openings. If you're doing the T3's, they should come with a template and basic installation instructions. You will need some clamps and a cutting tool. I used my Dremel. The cutting was super easy, just be sure you get the template exact on both side.

I appreciate the input. :thanks: I don't have a Dremel, so that's why I was considering letting a shop do this one. I'm considering the 3dCarbon fender vents, but I'm just gathering info. They include a template, too.

The 3D Carbon fender vents are easy to install if you don't mind cutting into your car. I did mine with a cut off wheel on a angle grinder.. You just have to take your time so you don't melt the paint too bad. If I did them again I would use an air saw (I didn't have it at the time). Make sure you paint all the bare edges so it doesn't corrode. I also used a seam sealer around the inside of the whole vent to be safe.

That may be the case, although I'd then have to find more uses for it. :lol: |

You'd be surprised at the things you can use a Dremel on. It is one of the handiest tools I've ever owned. They literally make about 100 different bits for the thing. |
:clock: It's time to revisit this topic.
I have some beautiful ACS primed bumper ports and am interested in anyone's experiences painting them. What did you do? |

Yours came out incredible! I’m planning to paint mine satin or matte black.
Did yours come primed? Did you apply new primer or just paint? |

Seems like such a long time ago. Don't have this setup anymore http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...hone317021.jpg |
Hey if you need help painting those parts and install them in your bumper I wouldn't mind giving you a hand
