I have a Specter Werkes rear fasia and am thinking about doing the repalcement myself. How easy/difficult is this? And how long will it take?

 

Somebody?

 

Well I've been working on mine for 2 months, you'll become proficient at changing the rears in less than an hour and solving problems on your own since the SW directions are minimal. After wet sanding the primer I noticed a hairline crack on both sides halfway up, the body filler was ground off in this area and the fiberglass thickness was very thin with 1/8" body filler covering it plus 1/16" more I had added. There are two notches on either side which become stress risers if the metal mounting strips are tightened too much, this could be where owners complain of cracks developing. If the inside of this area is built up with fiberglass to make it stronger the mounting strip won't fit; I ground off the outer edge of the strips for more clearance since glass was added to the inside as well as the outside. Both contours on each side had to be reworked to fit, the seam had fiberglass added and the sides had body filller added. The center brake hole needs to be cut out. The top lip that screws into the trunk area was not wide enough so it too had glass added. The whole surface needs to be sanded well to remove any waves or gloss so the primer will adhere. SW advises using a body shop for installation however I don't see how a body shop would know how thin the glass is on the sides and to add more. The final fit should be better than stock but it took a lot of work.

 

Extremely easy! Take out tail lights so you have access to bolts through holes, pop off the fastners under the bottom rear, take loose the screws in each wheel well....easy!
