I've gone through 3 of em.
The kit itself is great quality (make) but there are innumerable waves throughout the entire thing, ESPECIALLY the top of the rear bumper. Even though the kit is worked on and smoothed out, it is very hard to get the waves out.
The fit is awesome but you have to remove the rear reinforcement unless you shave the rear bumper of the plate...then it fits. You need to lower the front reinforcement one bolt.
The side skirts need to be shaved because I know the 2 cars local that have the kit...we have the same problem and that is when you close the door, the tops of the side skirts rub against and you get a popping noise.
If your car is lowered, because the side skirts go under the car like 6"...it's hard to get a jack stand under the car and into the cutouts in the kit because they are small.
If you run 19s...TAKE EM OFF...because the kit is so long on the edges which go into the fender wells...it's non stop rubbing with one person in the car.

Not having the foglights to go with the kit are a no-no. NO fogs to go with the kit means no buying. the car looks unfinished. I'm not knocking the car in the pic either, it looks good. It's just a detail I prefer. Knockoffs never have the matching lites.

Would some one with Fabulous kit do some measuring for me and test fit for me, I have couple of sets of these and can get more, I should be able to get them for pretty good price if there is enough interest, PM me if you are interested to give me the info about the fog light opening, Sean

both , that way it can look dope when parked but u can still raise it to a sensible height for driving around and u wont mess up yer body kit and still have a dumped look.
