i got the same kit and it is nothing like the real thing. much thinner. it was a terrible buy. had to spend the extra money on getting the kit to fit right. it was a mess. i got my kit from ground dynamics in cali. but i would not use them to shine my shoes.

The "replica" is nothing like the real thing. I have the real kit and it fit like a glove, absolutely no modifications at all. The body shop guy didnt even bother trying to fit it. He painted it and installed it on the car. It fit better than the stock bumpers. The only thing I didnt like about it was how low it was, too low for my everyday driver. You can have the front bumper for the right price, but it will have to be shipped to CA from FL and I dont think that is cheap.

I would suggest you to get an aftermarket exhaust as well. The stock exhaust is lost in those big openings.

My suggestion is to go to local car shows and check out some of the work done by the bodyshops. They are always anxious to show off their skills and usually it can be seen from their display cars. Good luck. The win kit is nice, old school but nice!

Thanks for the feedback guys. The car is hardly finished, although the exterior is pretty much done. I will also finish it up with an RMM exhast and RMM rear wing. Then it's on to the interior.
