no way its comin off... the squeeking started once the body kit was installed. plus i dont think it would be suspension or anything like that because i just recently installed a tokico illumina 5 way adjustable shock and spring set. i think the sound is whenever i hit a bump the plastic kit rubs against the metal and squeeks. i have heard of some sort of glue that is clear and is made for that exact reason and will work perfectly... stopping the movement of the kit. anyone heard of it? know anything more about it... like where i can get it?

I dont think anyone is gonna help you on this just post useless posts. Just try calling a body shop or Napa.

like ya said, sounds like to me the kit and the body of the car might be rubbing against each other, or something. Lube up the bolts of the kit and such..but with the glue or whatever, never heard of it, not really a big fan of body kits myself.

try getting some really thin weather stripping with an adhesive side and stick a really thin strip between the kit and the body then snug it down.....

thankyou... i am not that big of a fan for body kits either but when it comes to mugen the kit is very low profile... i was going to go with just a lip kit from ww but the mugen kit looks so beautiful on a prelude. thas what my car will look like once my bumper is fixed after a damn branch fell out and hit it from a lawn truck on the beach.
