Eventually you get to the point where rolling isnt enough. But I say do it

kit looks too overly aggressive to be considered "vip style" imo

Yeah ive disliked the kit for a while now. I got an oem front with a lip and I need to buy a back bumper and then some type of clean lip kit wiyh skirts all the way around like the vertex kit. Thats my next step though

No we heated the paint basically on the whole quarter panel and worked slowll and carefully to make sure that we didnt crease the quarter panel. if I would have had to repaint the quarter panels I wouldnt have done it. It would be nearly impossible to blend millenium silver metallic
