Knowone - You'll definitely be happy with the fitment of the "Shine Auto Couture" Kit! The original was test fitted on my car and that's where all the imperfections were taken care of. The only problem spot I saw and might be different is the driver side highbeam, for some reason there was a huge gap when it was on my car, but the 97+ had the same problem. Keep us tuned! I gotta head over there tomorrow!

On a side note, did you get the rivet nuts put in for the front?

Here we go again please do not claim this, if you do please fill it in with the appropriate text: AC "style" soarers. Not being a d*ck, but just giving credit where credit is due.

Jerry thanks for this thread I appreciate you keeping us in the loop. I may look forward to a daily driven front bumper, mine has seen some damage and will have to go in for some work again. Keep us posted (pictures during fitment would be great too) .

I had to close the previous AC replica thread and issue a few warnings. Lets not start round 2 in this thread.

I personally am not a fan of replicated items but everyone is different. I respect xknowonex's decision to buy one. If that is what he likes then Im happy for him. Now go back and edit your pic links. I cant see squat. I want to see how your project is coming along.

97+ only refers to the front/rear bumper and sideskirts. You should not have any issues unless you have some sort of frame damage.

His car isn't a 97+ (judging from the sig) - he was going to do 97+ conversion than changed the plan.
