How is the fitment? Is it completely terrible? Or is it some little sanding here and there?

Also any pictures of YOUR kit on a SC? Not a random picture of the legit thing.

There is the picture from the AIT website, but I don't know if that's an actual test fitting picture. If there's someone with some good body shop and fiberglass skills maybe we can work out a good test fitting discount. These bumpers are a pretty good seller so I don't think there's any major issues, but it would be nice to have pics installed of the actual part.

Agreed, must of been a reason for it.

Well if its nothing too major, i would like to do body work myself unless it contains fiberglassing a lot then i would most likely pass.

I never installed it. The difference in materials between the Shine and AIT one is huge. The Shine one feels basically like urethane.

The AIT one actually doesn't look poorly made. I think there are a few on here that got it installed

A buddy of mine on here had that on his ride fittment wasn't bad. Ait is better than vis and the rest but shine is better it feels lighter.

i just opened up the box. it looks great! same neon green as the pics. so tomorrow i'll place it on just to see how it lines up. and all i paid was 475 delivered for all of this. i can't even get the OEM bumper with a discount for this price. don't know about the purists out there. but i am satisfied.
