Just put mine on today. Fitment is pretty much perfect. Ill just need to sand down the area under the driver headlight. I cant get the nut on the factory mounting plate through the fender, mold seems a tad thick in that area. Need paint!

First pic is just the test fit.


After mounting everything

The top is mounted properly as well (just above the high beams)?

So got the screws I needed and redid everything again. Sides are perfect. Just can't seem to make the top to flow right with the hood. Can't seem to pull it up anymore. But I also I've one screw that is broken in the middle hole so once I get that thing out will try to rent a heat gun hope that does it. Also 3m vhb is the bomb the soarer emblem is stuck there good only problem is that I placed it a little off from center. Also if anyone have know any product out there for no drill license plat I would greatly appreciate it. Dont like the ghetto Green ziptie lol.

Seriously brave of everyone to try it themselves. Bravo! I don't even fully know how to get my bumper off. Mine is at my slow body shop.
The VHB is crazy. I found it on the third (and final) mounting of my roof wing. The car will die with that wing attached most likely. Hope you can learn to love the emblem placement ;-)
I have Velcro that can hold a cabinet on a wall. I may curve my plate a bit and use that......... not sure that's a good idea yet but I may try it.

In the pictures there was only one screw holding the top part of the bumper in the middle. when i found the rest of the screws and put them in, it fit flush. fitment is spot on

Did you paint or wrap the tiny grill between the high beams? I do not have a grill (my existing opening we just put black mesh) so if/when I get/find one I was not too keen on the chrome/silver look.

The blacked out one (even after the car is painted) looks cool.......

Here is a pic of the current front end:

The grille was actually broken lol. The chrome was peeling as well on mine so i glued it together and plastidipped it black. Youd never tell it was broken unless you took it off

Heres what itll look like once painted (already have shine bumper on the car )

Out of curiosity why'd you mount the emblem before paint?

Lol because I'm a broke college kid but want my paint to be good and last although Maaco paint job is so tempting. Plus its only 3m tape so I don't think it will leave that much residue behind.

Let's get the Aero Craft (AC) Side Skirts and Rear Bumper group buy going guys so we can complete the kit. Those who got the front bumper , you have seen how solid and tough that bumper is. Quality and fitment is great. Total price of the kit is less than the Shine kit shipped . Can't get better than that !

As far as I know you got until second week of March to send down payment and deliveries are 3rd - 4th week of April for which full payment is expected before delivery .

I personally feel the AC side skirts and Rear Bumper are more pronounced and has a lower profile compared to the 1997 . That line across the rear bumper to me makes the bumper looks like it has a lip and lower and it completes that body line all around the car.
