I was checking to see if anyone may be interested in either getting their hood louver pegs fixed or a kit to do it yourself? I think I figured out a way to repair/restore the plastic pegs to hold on the iroc hood louvers. they are easy to find with broken pegs and I was thinking about either fixing them for people or selling a kit to do it yourself. I found something that will work for the pegs but I need to go and see if I can find different nuts since these a little sturdier and a little bigger around but still fit fine in the hole. (I think, I know this stuff will work but I have been trying to get some convertible stuff done and it is taking forever) If I do it I am thinking $50 plus shipping back to repair them and also repaint them the correct oem color so it will be like getting a brand new set back. If i did a kit it would be around $35 and $5 shipping. the kit would include all the materials necessary to do it plus either directions or a link to a video that will show all of it. Just checking to see if there is any interest in this or if it would be a waste of time. I am not going to say what the stuff is or where it comes from all I can say is if you guys think it will be a good idea I will make sure it all works just like it is supposed to.

 

honestly man, if you can do it, why cant anyone else? I mean sure it might sell on something like hawks. But for you to try and sell people some nuts and bolts and about 5 bucks of paint. I think people would be more interested in a detailed instructions on do-it-yourself louver fix.

just my .02 cents.

this is not easy to get correct so I don't really want to put a tutorial on here on how to do it and have people messing their louvers up bad enough they couldn't be used again.

 

I would definately try a repair, mine aren't usable as they are. Wouldn't you have to go through top side? I've thought of a possible repair, but it looks like the plastic gets too brittle to try to use for a repair. It would be embarassing to have them come off while hot doggin it.

 

I don't go through the top side that would look horrible in my opinion. If you want send them to me and I will fix them. The way I do it, as far as I can tell now the pegs that are repaired feel alot stronger than the originals.

 

Lol, I've had that happen. It was pretty spectacular because it shattered as it bounced off the windshield.

I would be interested in a repair kit, as long as it's not too spendy.

 

$35 for all that you need and instructions or I can do it for $50. I may try to find a few sets and do them on exchange so that way it would be a one day turn around on them.

 

Have you done a set and actually mounted them yet? If so, maybe a close-up pic of a mounted set to show the quality of the finish?

 

here is the last set I did and sold. I honestly have never even mounted them but I have done alot of stuff with this same epoxy and know it's limitations. This stuff is a walk in the park for it as long as everything is prepped right. and the pegs are solid so they feel alot stiffer than the originals. I haven't heard any complaints yet so it must be holding up OK. the epoxy has a hold rating of 3500 psi so it is definitely good stuff.
