I agree, the front end will look very plain and elongated without those high beams. It won't be a good look IMO. But do as you wish...

Um well every weekend it has rained and cold so resin isnt going to cure. Fitment is not that great at all, i expected more. Sorry guess was debating on keeping the high beams but they have to go. Hey emeralds car looks great without them. The side skirts I am going to have to cut out whole sections on the side skirts and refiberglass. Well anyway i have black leather racing seats and 5 point cam lock harnesses on the way to! fun fun

the side skirts need alot of work, the front a little and the rear just needs filler which all of them will. Side skirts have gap between door sill that im just going to have to cut off the whole thing and reglass... Ide say probably the best your will get for the money, vertex will run you $2300

That sh.it is filthy!

Yes and she also has her kit molded. No filler here only 2 part urethane, it will actually be bonded to the body. I have a had cars with molded kits before and ill do alright or ill be back in my boys shop for patch jobs i dont care. Well about the high beams its kind of the lexus nestalga i guess. Ill probably need them here to flash florida drivers. I can alway glass them in late if i want....
