agreed, but those skirts don't look right as others have mentioned. The front and rear are seriously flared like vertex but the sides are almost concaved.

Though I do love the stock 97 body style.

everyone keeps saying buff it but being a trained painter (even though its a pic on the internet) i am willing to bet that is single stage and not basecoate \clearcoate

Ok so some mentioned the sides skirts r not on right? or put on backwards? (got em installed little to no cash but they must of been dumbasses) so how do i take care of that?

Thanks for the egay lights warning lol ill make sure i wont get them, but isnt there any other way to get halos/deamon eyes on these things?

You got a break down on what you spent for the body kit and paint job?

Its hard to say how you can fix the side skirts because we don't know how it was installed.

It could have a screw in the wheel well for the front and back along with some more by the door seals when you open the door. For that you can simply unscrew it.

But I have a feeling that they mounted it with screws all along the side skirts and probably bondo'd over the screws and painted it.

the skirts arent weird it kinda looks like the stock ones from a 97+ sc... correct me if im wrong but i think thats wat it is. the guy before u used aftermarket front and rear and stock sides.


Thanks for the egay lights warning lol ill make sure i wont get them, but isnt there any other way to get halos/deamon eyes on these things?

carID dot com they sell halos and they are very good quality but expensive... i think like 500 bucks for the whole front(low and high beams

And yea bros it needs major buffing n sanding n ill take care of that in like 3 weeks guy said.

U guys like the wheels? i wanna drop it but i dont want to be scraping my kit 24/7 hahaha

Thanks guys
I think ur wheels look very nice... they look factory like they are meant for the car... makes it look clean IMO

hey welcome to cl, be carefull your paint maybe single stage for that price. if it is single stage then i wouldnt go to crazy buffing or buff at all.
a regular paint job (high end) goes like this

sand

primer(12 hour cure unless using a high solvent activator or ultra violet lamp

block (sand with high grit count)

sealer

paint/clear

you only wait for paint to flash, then spray clear as if its another coat of color/paint. i dont think he did all of that for the price you stated. check the edges and corners closely i just dont want you getting screwd over pal
