Yeah this is why I stopped messing with carbon fiber unless it’s a spoiler. So much effort for it to most likely fit poorly. It also contracts and expands with weather which makes the fitment inconsistent. Also having to worry about clear coat lifting from the carbon isn’t any fun either😅 gloss black everything except for a spoiler for me lol
Welcome back to the Tube Mr. Hill! Congrats on your newborn, you’ll make an awesome father. As for the car parts, don’t let it get ya down, cars are pain and that’s just how it goes sometimes! If it makes you feel any better it was great entertainment 😂
I wish I had the balls to post my moment like this because god know I do have these moments. Tried to get bushings in my lower front arms of s2k, it took fucking days. It was just me and a stupid autozone tool with no instructions. It’s the bushing that the lower shock bolt passes through. I had to bending my fucking coilover and it looks so fucking stupid. That’s feels so good to get off my chest.
Hey Cameron! I’m Leroy from PR🇵🇷 and I’ve been watching lots of your videos! I’m just now getting a 2021 type R and just wanted to thank you for your uploads! I’ve been wanting one for the longest time and seeing all your videos has kept me excited through this whole process! Keep doing your thing bro!❤️
Hey Cam, I recently came across your channel and binged watch almost all your videos. I love your format and the fact that your are just a regular guy trying new things. I was about to buy an 2018 SI hfp but unfortunately I lost my job so didnt get it…. Also I am an absolute Halo fan
If that’s not the worst Chineseium quality control ever from a reputable brand like APR, sad how poorly new parts are being made in this modern era. Happy to see you posting again and congratulations on baby man🎉!
Congrats on the baby man. That literally sucks but I'd do the same thing and have before!😂 I usually shred whatever product it was and leave a bad review!
i have a 2017 STI that I bought a Seibon front splitter for and it has turned chalkey!It cost me 800.00 at the time.Never again.I will buy ebay stuff for now on at one third the price!
Congrats on the baby brother! My wife also went thru the induction process, no meds (it was pretty hard) on may 2nd. Also a baby girl 🎉 Sending blessings your way and hope Vivian is recovering well from the whole process.
Yeah APR can be hit or miss. On my FK8 their gtc wing started having epoxy issues, and their splitter doesn't even come with proper hardware to secure the splitter the right way. People usually put the small rods they give you on the plastic bumper lol
Again, congratulations to you and Vivian on your first newborn. Its all cool, Cam. I like how genuine you are. I bet you look back and regret, but trust me we need to see this because what you experience is very relatable and show us how many Car Enthusiasts like myself screw up sometimes and how long it takes to work on our cars. Soome TH-camrs try to be too perfect while some have mechanics and act like they did all the work and never give proper credit. I try to work on my cars the best i can. I have yet to get a proper toolkit and lift for my car. I have aftermarket wheels and tires..Tell me why i used the stock jack which barely got my FG4 off the ground to change the front wheel/tire with my spare wheel/tire. It broke too. I had to call my insurance road side assistance who came with their car and had a harbor freight jack in their trunk. I felt so embarrassed with the neighbors watching lol. I was wondering how i wouod get to work the next day without Ubering. Atleast we try and do the best we can which is what matters most. Keep up the awesome content and take your time uploading because life happens and you are only human like us all. Again, i wish you nothing but the best and hope you and your family enjoy Memorial Day! 😄
@@Camhill182 Wow, i appreciate the response! Sorry, i was assuming lol. No problem man, i just wanted to congratulate and give you my thoughts. Im glad you understand cause i wrote a novel 😂🥲
Hey thanks man for sharing the clip. I was thinking of buying that thing but after seeing that odyssey I rather not. Crazy that you destroyed it 😂 after all these things are expensive man. I hope apr in general is not that crappy
Congrats Cameron. 💪 How about the flushing that comes over you after the first physical contact with your first born? Unreal, right? Best way I can describe it is like an instant mental & physiological change all at once… You’ll never forget it. Happy for you brother…. Blessings to you and yours. 🙏
Congrats on your baby, bro!! This install video is absolutely a vibe. We all hit the wall and wanna break it in half. Take a break next time bro. Think about something else, come back to the task in a day. Clearing your mind hella helps.
I'm confident you guys will be great parents. congratulations. I remember those days like it was yesterday. After market parts are really hit or miss and typically required some finessing. I really don't like them.
😂😂 you won the record for the most swear words in a video. That plus smashing stuff made my night brother lol. Sucks the stuff didn't line up but damn that was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. 😂
You should've used a heat gun to soften the plastic bumper sections that the aftermarket part fit in. It makes it easier to manipulate the creases and slide the part in also avoids breaking brittle tabs Btw these ricer mods are never worth the buy. You're better off buying better plugs or just gas.
Great see you back on bro I feel your pain about the part I wanted to crush them for you so bad. Congrats 🎉🎊 🎈 to you both on being patients what a blessing
I just tried to put these on my GR86 as well... Spent all day Saturday. I didn't want to brake them. Same issue: the tabs are not flexible enough so they dont pop into the tab openings. The OEM pop in and out easily. They look great but, Shame on APR for selling these. They have great products and never had an issue with the many I've bought. However, this is ridiculous, Their instructions make it look like a seamless install. Your are better off with a CF overlay.
When you did this it reminded me of when stewie broke that record lol damn sorry you when thru that. Carbon can be a messy situation haha. Almost gave up on my 700 diffuser from olm
This is why im not a big fan of body mods. Very rarely do things fit right. And even when they do. Its never lined up like oem. Messing with cars for 25 years now. I learned to stay away from mods like this lol
I’m a two day old sub and I understand the frustration. Although it sucks that it didn’t fit, I genuinely enjoyed the ass kicking that piece got 😂😂😂 glad I subbed.
13:29 is the best part of this video! I was cheering you on Cameron!
It's my fav part too 😌🔥
That was so funny but I know I’d be exactly like him if it were me… that’s why it’s funny 😩😂😂
I think I can speak for some of us. That is a real install video when things don't work out.
Congrats on the family growing. God bless.
Thank you 😁
Hi Cam, what a bad experience with car parts, we are been there so don't worry, now your family need you more than ever.

#carsarepain
I’ve never seen him get angry before lol I’ve been there. Plus Congrats on your family growth bud!! 🎉
"A Florida man loses it over some bs car parts" 😅😅 By the way congrats to both of y'all

Hey Justin! thank you for watching and I appreciate the compliments. I hope you get a good job soon so you can get your car
If that’s not the worst Chineseium quality control ever from a reputable brand like APR, sad how poorly new parts are being made in this modern era. Happy to see you posting again and congratulations on baby man🎉!
Nice to see you back Cam! Congrats to both of you for the baby! 🎉
Thanks Steve!
Congrats on the baby man. That literally sucks but I'd do the same thing and have before!😂 I usually shred whatever product it was and leave a bad review!
Glad im bot the only one that felt this level of frustration installing parts on car 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You did what so many people would have wanted to do 😂😂😂😂 I felt that hahahaha
Tbh CF/fiber glass parts always have fitment issues. Its just that brands like APR and Seibon usually fit “better” than some other brands.
i have a 2017 STI that I bought a Seibon front splitter for and it has turned chalkey!It cost me 800.00 at the time.Never again.I will buy ebay stuff for now on at one third the price!
Maybe an alternative to bending the bumper would be sanding the carbon part a little bit?
Probably, yea. Didn't even think of that at the time
Haha I was getting frustrated for you. Watching you break those was very satisfying.
LMAO, I laughed so hard when he threw it on the floor. I was like kill it kill it!!
I had this issue with my stock 1s. I ended up using a heat gun on the back by the tabs and on the inside on the bumper to get them aligned.
Congrats on the baby brother! My wife also went thru the induction process, no meds (it was pretty hard) on may 2nd. Also a baby girl 🎉 Sending blessings your way and hope Vivian is recovering well from the whole process.

@@Camhill182 yes sir it's an amazing adventure brother! My last one just graduated last week!
Congrats on the baby! 5/5 is a great date for a birthday. Maybe I’m biased because it happens to be my birthday too. Really enjoyed the video!
Elena is hispanic too so Cinco De Mayo will be a cool birthday to have!
bro fuck that part 😂😂😂 I was so happy when you just started stomping on that thing lmaooo

Thats a hell of a comment! I don’t regret this video at all, but I see what you’re saying

it was great! I'll talk about it next video with the baby reveal
@@Camhill182 Awesome, just know we expect nothing from you right now - enjoy this bonding time! 🤜💥🤛
Congrats on your baby, bro!!
This install video is absolutely a vibe. We all hit the wall and wanna break it in half. Take a break next time bro. Think about something else, come back to the task in a day. Clearing your mind hella helps.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Hope both mum and baby are in good health.
Did you ever hear back from APR? I’d have mailed that shit back to them and filed a chargeback too.
Never heard back. I bought these from 86Speed.com so I would have had to go through them to get any sort of refund of whatever
This is why i purchase the stick on carbon fiber for those duct. Fitment is always an issue on these carbon fiber 86 parts
Congratulations on the kiddo , can’t wait for that upload
Exactly how i felt when i installed my Maperformance Exhaust for the gen2 BRZ. Those stupid clamps were ass.
the clamp connecting the muffler section to the midpipe was the toughest to get on for me
Sorry to see this go so badly.
And this is why I will be wrapping mine with Vvivid carbon film.
When are you planning on starting on the stock body Adro kit?
After I pay for the GR86 bumper, then buy two new tires for the Type R, I’ll see where I’m at money wise
Best install video I’ve ever seen. 💩
donut said it best: Cars are Pain
12:15 this is how us techs feel everyday 🤣
I'm confident you guys will be great parents. congratulations. I remember those days like it was yesterday. After market parts are really hit or miss and typically required some finessing. I really don't like them.
Thanks, Art! we are awesome parents. she's our little gremlin
I felt better, as soon as you broke it! Amen
LOL If you notice on the back of the instructions it indicates a 1800 anger management hotline
😂😂 you won the record for the most swear words in a video. That plus smashing stuff made my night brother lol. Sucks the stuff didn't line up but damn that was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. 😂
Funniest shit ever lmao, always the easiest installs that turn into a pain in the ass lmao, can relate big time had me in tears🤣
realest install vid out there
Congratulations!!....don't sweat the small stuff.
Congrats on your baby bro
Thanks! You’ll see her next video
Congrats on the new born cam wishing u all the best
Congrats on the baby Cam!! Hm maybe sanding the inside so it conforms to the bumper would’ve worked maybe?
Congratulations on the new baby guys !!!
Congratulations 🎉on the baby good to see you back
You should've used a heat gun to soften the plastic bumper sections that the aftermarket part fit in. It makes it easier to manipulate the creases and slide the part in also avoids breaking brittle tabs
Btw these ricer mods are never worth the buy. You're better off buying better plugs or just gas.
bro, I wouldn't have lasted that long trying those parts!! I feel your pain!
Me every time I work on my car lol, congrats on the baby again!
thanks Shane
Welcome to the parent club, enjoy!
Congrats to you and vivian!
Also 110% been there with car parts before😂
Thanks Dane!
Great see you back on bro I feel your pain about the part I wanted to crush them for you so bad. Congrats 🎉🎊 🎈 to you both on being patients what a blessing
Therapy much? 😂
Calm down dad lol. Sometimes you just have to break stuff. Hope you feel better.
My therapy was crushing those parts 😀
Congrats Cam. On the baby not on your new relationship with APR. lol
lol thanks!
Yes!! Can i come stomp on it too?😂😂
yup! I still have them. I'll bring them to my next meetup, whenever that is, so people can stomp as they please
Well i ordered these before seeing the video i hope the install goes well 😅
For some reason at 14:43 i was getting Office Space vibes
Is it just clips holding on the brz and 86 bumpers?
Forgot to say congratulations and welcome to fatherhood 🎉🎉
Thanks! I love it
Congrats on the mini hill and that why its hard for me to buy carbon part so much money for them not to fit right on the car.
I just tried to put these on my GR86 as well... Spent all day Saturday. I didn't want to brake them. Same issue: the tabs are not flexible enough so they dont pop into the tab openings. The OEM pop in and out easily. They look great but, Shame on APR for selling these. They have great products and never had an issue with the many I've bought.

When you did this it reminded me of when stewie broke that record lol damn sorry you when thru that. Carbon can be a messy situation haha. Almost gave up on my 700 diffuser from olm
Congrats man!🎉
No way! Dang man that sucks
The title should've been "APR typical install fitment".
I better watch it now before you decide to take it off haha 😄
You start with the one that’s has trouble going in 👍🏼
I feel your frustration man, next time just take it off and sell it to another 86 owner who wants it!
Let your hate flow (Emperor Palpatine voice). Sorry man! Shit got me frustrated lol.
I should have referred to myself as Darth Cam in this video. smh missed opp
Your temper is very similar to mine lol .... congrats on the baby !
I’m in the same boat as you I want to swap front ends but I don’t want the Toyota badge
Congratulations, I'm genuinely happy for you both from the UK. APR is shit 😅
Have u tried 2 heat up the inside of the bumper 2 make it more flexible?
It was outside on an 85 degree day so it was a little more flexible
my wife was induced too and it was 40 hours of labor and then a c section
LMAO this shit too funny
Congrats to your new born!!❤
I wonder if it would be better to grind those bezels off ?
Why can’t they make a gloss black/carbon fiber front grill? They make it for the BRZ.
Adult having a Tantrum LMAO
😀
Self tappers will pull those in, hopefully!
A little heat would have been your friend with this....
What brand were those and see if you can get a refund.
I’ve been there 😂 stomped the shesh out of it
I guess a refund is out of the ❓ 😂
Cameron, how about you make your own carbon fiber instead? I know it will take you 2-3 days. You can make video of that. 😅
Little screw and washer would fix the problem
i would say this is about 95% of my installs
You should still send them back for a refund 😂😂
I should send them back as is
Man I’d just wrap your stock ones carbon.
This is why im not a big fan of body mods. Very rarely do things fit right. And even when they do. Its never lined up like oem. Messing with cars for 25 years now. I learned to stay away from mods like this lol
just goes to show you shit does not work out sometimes .... great video
I’m a two day old sub and I understand the frustration. Although it sucks that it didn’t fit, I genuinely enjoyed the ass kicking that piece got 😂😂😂 glad I subbed.
Thanks for being here 😀
Carbon wrap the stock ones😂
LOOOOOOL😂😂😂😂IM DEAD.
