Buddy of mine in NC said the fitment was horrible and sold it on craigslist. He then bought an Auto Couture kit the next week and had it installed and painted within a week. The body shop he had the car at said it would cost more to get that bumper to fit than a real AC kit. But maybe someone else has had better luck.

Edit: keep in mind this is a replica of a replica....Auto Couture>Shine>AIT

Yeah, I've heard the worst about AIT. Never seen one in person though, so don't quote me on that.

Ken's designs (Shine auto project) are all replicas of products already made. That being said, if you want a quality piece go through him, I've had mulitple AIT kits for my FC over the years and they all require a ton of work to get to fit right. I ran a BN sports replica kit from them, the side skirts were an inch and half short on each side. You get what you pay for with aero

AIT makes terrible body kits. If your budget is big enough, the original Auto Couture kit would be your best bet. If not, the Shine Auto Project replica is pretty good as well.
