Looking good I applaud these guys for finally producing parts for our cars because there's really not much out there body wise besides fiberglass crap. So good job

I received my sides and rear bumper yesterday and fitted everything up. For never doing any body work myself I'd say everything fit spot on. I believe I need to adjust the rear bumper around the inner parts of the tail lights but other than that no complaints. It was to dark in my garage last night to take pictures but will do this weekend

Thanks again for the quick shipping!

Hey how did you install the side skirts. Mine fits good but there is a small gap on both ends where the oem parts are pushed in. Thanks.

ZachTriggs

Mine fit perfectly, I used two jacks to hold the side skirt in place and pushed it into place by hand and drilled new holes into the fenders on both sides. They fit amazingly well!

I just need help on this part.

I don't think the oem part should still be on right?

ZachTriggs

Here's some pictures of everything installed

**Note: Most of it is held up with zip ties or a couple of screws so its not as tight of fitment as it could be**

Overall I'm very impressed with how well the kit fit. I'm waiting on new high beams to come in so I haven't bothered trying to get my OEM ones to fit. The gap between the hood and front bumper will be corrected when everything is tight.

I'm still stumped on the ends of the side skirt. How did you manage to tighten it down?

How is that any different than the OEM front bumper, other than the lower grill portion???
Why spend $500, to look almost identical?

ZachTriggs

$500 not only cause its made of polyurethane but its a Auto Couture bumper.. It holds the elegance of a stock 97 kit but adds a little extra flare to it.



And just look at it!!

I totally agree. It adds some girth to car and looks a bit lower and more aggressive...and its made of the same stuff as stock!

Well said.



"Nearly identical"? Absolutely not.

Because it was cheaper than the fiberglass Vertex Lips I keep ruining, and offers a lower profile while keeping the 97 look. I mean whats the difference between running this and a 97 front with a lip? Not that much except for the durability it offers, and the subtle touch to the center cross bar.

Plus, trying out new aero is rough, there are so many issues to worry about and costs associated with fitment and painting. The JIC Magic front is often quoted as being too low/long, and brittle. The Vertex kit is also expensive and fiberglass is brittle. The real AC kit looks very subtle and nice, but the price and fiberglass has always made it kind of out of reach for me since I could never justify running it for 5 months until it inevitably got cracked/hit/damaged and I had to start looking for something new again.

I don't know what it is with my car, but everytime I freshen up the ground affects something inevitably happens to ruin it. Somebody got in a fight at the F&F7 premiere literally a week after I got my car from the body shop and they happened to fall on my car... of all the cars at the premiere?! Cracked the lip ad scratched the heck out of the paint on the bumper. PolyUrethane is the only thing that makes this look worth it... not to mention the danger on everyday ****ty american streets with endless potholes, uneven intersections due to drainage run off, horribly steep driveways, short parking spots with parking bumpers at the end, debris littered on the highways, abnormally high speed bumps, unleashed pets, and it goes on and on and on.

But in the end, it all comes down to taste and priorities. This suits enough of us that we wanted to spend our money on it.

^ Lol, fair enough

My point was simply that it looks stock-enough that it may as well be stock, haha.
I see what ya mean though; I guess I just can't justify the price for the appearance.
I'll just get a Fujin Lip, and call it a day ...
