S Mann Body Kit installation

[roadking40]

Hi, just got my S Mann kit. I plan on doing the install myself, but rec'd no install instructions. Does anyone have any they would be willing to share? Thanks in advance.

Got it, just wondering about the rear wing and side skirt install. Some have said glue, others screw or both. Just trying to find out the recommended way. Thanks

Check out Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia and FQ101 : Smart Car Modifications for guides.

Sideskirts install with 5 screws in the bottom of each, plus a bead of adhesive along the top edge. Holes for the screws are pre-drilled and it is advised to pre-install the skirts with only the screws the first time around as they are self-tapping but can be difficult to start.

The spoiler used a few screws along the lower portion (again, holes are pre-drilled) and then adhesive to glue the upper to the lower portion, leave some small weights (I used 5lb dumb bells) on the spoiler overnight to prevent lifting. Be careful of the forward most outside edge and the very center, they are the most likely places to warp.

PM me your email and I'll send you some pictures of the process, and next time buy from someone who provides support and install instructions ;)

Roadking40. Just follow Dan's instructions and you should be ok. Just also make sure you have all the correct parts before starting... right Dan? ; )

If you signed up for smartimes magazine, I wrote a fitting guide for the s-mann side skirts and top rear spoiler in it.

I bought my kit from Dan and he is the best ! I got all the pictures and had my kit installed with no problem.

Just about done...

Audio System
Rockford Fosgate Marine 6.5" speakers
Rockford Fosgate T600.4 4 channel amp
Rockford Fosgate T500.1 Mono subwoofer amp
Rockford Fosgate IBEAM - Bass System (not yet released)
Rockford Fosgate 360.2 Processor
Rockford Fosgate P3 12" Subwoofer in customer fiberglass enclosure with red neon / plexiglass

The audio system is unreal. The rear sub removes if I need the space and the low frequency IBEAMS take over. The car will be at WCES in Vegas in January.

HR springs are next.

Overall really pleased with the car so far.

Thanks for the help.
