it is too big of a kit for my liking, but maybe rims and a drop would help that out. i just wouldnt do that kind of work to my car but it def turned out better than i thought and it looks like quality work. congrats

It looks like they did a nice job jamming it now did they take off the parts and paint or did they just tape off? Oh and how much did it cost for the paint?

well you guys have to account for different cities being different rates. although phoenix is a big city, rates are still high.
and as for the rock chip, the primer color would show, because they will need to sand before changing colors, then prep and primer. you could also clear bra it when done.

So a paint chip would show the primer so if it was an orange paint it would show black if it chips.

The body work on the front bumper looks great as far as I can tell, and the fitment of the kit looks tight.

It looks like your car had sex with a tuner car and had the car you have now. Not feeling it but you sport it all you want.

I commend you on the effort and trying to think "outside the box" and for adding to the ES forum on a different choice of body kit. Just not sure anyone is going to follow your lead, so I believe you will be one of the few guys who definitely has a custom look.
