My kit installed.

So here is my before

This is after I got the kit painted and I did the install... my painters said there was a problem putting on primer because there was some kind of chemical in the gel coat that was possibly causing the primer to bubble. So they had to sand it down quite a bit.

Looks good. I think the 'bigger' bumpers/skirts make your rims look a lot smaller though. I know my 18's look like 16's with some body mods haha.

Dont like the weather stripping thats seperating the kit and the bumpers..

The side skirts need to be fitted better I see gap on the sides.

Yeah. the pictures actually make it smaller too.. Im not sure if I want to go to 18's or not. I plan to get the kit molded after I choose which hood to buy.

Thats why I put the stripping there. The gaps were just nearly impossible to get rid of without alot of work so I said screw it. After looking to sand down some of those high areas that make it gap like that. I was thinking there wont be enough material to have it sit flush...

Is it the angle of the last shot, or is the rear just completely wrong. It looks like the end of the D/S isn't even the same as the P/S and the center splitter thing isn't centered...

an easy fix to the side skirts would be to drill a few small holes inside the door on the rocker panel and put rivet in there. It hold them very flush and you cant notice the rivets.
