Hey Buddy!

I'm glad all the advice I gave you on the kit finally paid off! Enjoy the kit, its absolutely STUNNING!

How was the fitment for you? Was it 100%? I have some minor issues with the rear valence fitment but it's going to be fixed along with the front bumper when I have the time.

You also might what to invest in 97+ door moldings, I know they are kinda expensive but its well worth it..
I'm going to save up and get my door moldings soon. Perfection is priceless.

Come to think of it, my car kinda needs a lot of body work...

I forgot to mention...Anything over 5 inch ground clearance or once inch drop is GOOD, anything lower than that your going to scrape everything on the road. Make sure you go into steep driveways and curbs at a angle or your going to scrape a bit.

The JIC front bumper is 2 times the weight and thickness of the Autocouture kit and its half the price...UNBELIEVEABLE!

Couple of months ago, I let someone move my car when they were installing my HID in the dude's driveway. He claimed he can pull a U-turn in his relatively small driveway area. So he got into my car and drove right into the edge of his driveway! The lower lip hit cement wall and the upper part hit solid metal..So what happened? Nothing really, just the paint is a bit messed up and thats was it...He later paid for the repaint..Theres nothing like a free paint job.

Just comes to see how strong this kit is..Good luck with yours! I scrape my kit countless times on the streets of NYC and its diesel.

ChronoJ1, thanks for the compliment hehehe, yea i can't wait to see how yours comes out as well, it gave me the "wow" effect and stared at it all day

Thanks One Hot SC400 for all the advice, hehe, i love the kit, it's so clean....the fitment was nearly 100%, only a little bit of cutting and shaving on the rear peice.

I can feel how strong the bumper is, alot of my friends hate bodykits and fiberglass, when they saw mine and actually felt it, they were amazed. I haven't scraped the kit yet, but sooner or later i will...every little dip and bump i nearly go parallel to clear it, and as low as my car is i haven't scraped

My whole car needs bodywork also, there are so many scratches and dings...i'm also going to have the shop adjust one of my sideskirts because they put it on kind of low....but other than that it's super clean...heads turn everywhere i drive

thank you everyone for the compliments this kit is well worth it, i love it
