It sounds like you maybe oughta take this kit to the body shop and pay them to fit it. Anyone doing a widebody install should be able to handle fitting a quarter panel. No offense, just trying to save you some time and money.

JDM Muscle and Kohinoor have the most BadAssed wide body jobs I have ever seen. Make sure to look them up and try to find build threads or PM them. They both went in HARD on the kits.
