here is what mine looks like. sorry i got finger prints all over it. tryin to fit it on.

had to shave the bumper support a bit to clear. the high beams dont fit right. gonna have to shave some it down.

luckily a friend of mine is awesome at glassing this stuff. so it will look good as some of the cars in the Ultimate picture thread.

i added headlights for fitment around those too. i still need to do more shaving of the bumper brace. but it looks like the highbeam lights will take some work. i might but some black rubber weather stripping to seal it so it has no gaps.

im still having a positive outlook on this. i knew what i was buying.

I wish they sold the AC replica rear lip separate; that's the only part of the kit I'll use. Fiberglass kits suck if your car's a DD.

Side skirts are the ones you have to worry about....front bumper and rear lip are pretty easy....

Did you guys keep the styrofoam on the metal bar or took it off that goes on the front and rear bumper on to make it a better fit?

i didnt put it back on with all of my test fitting. my main grip is getting it to fit around the highbeam lights correctly.

Can't wait to see how the Auto Couture style body kit looks.

I think he'll need to do some fiberglassing around the headlights and it should be ok.

Thanks for the posting the body kit pictures.

i think i might save up some cash to get the shine auto "vertex" looking bumper. maybe that fits like the OEM plastic bumper.

shine made a vertex looking bumper? They only have one kit and that is replica of auto couture. The fitment is good , but it won't be like oem.
