look at the pics in my profile, they might help you out. Lots of BONDO, lots of it... your gonna have to do alot of cutting on the side skirts to get it to fit right, otherwise they hit when you open and close the door. line them up the way you want them then cut..lots of bondo and sanding. i spent a week molding and sanding to get a great curve. alos the front end is tricky. i removed my bumper bracket and bumper to get it to fit good. and again lots of bondo around the headlights and the turn signals....the pics say it all..

Not to be a jerk of anything,but,Sapperk probably bought a bad quality kit. I used ViS and had my kit on in a little less than 2 hours.Also,taking off your front brace is SUICIDE...you need to just customize it a little. PM me if you want my cellphone #

I just put on the kit a few weeks ago, so here is my 2 cents worth:

The front is gonna take a little work... You'll need to trim the corners of the metal reinforcement for the kit to fit over it. In fact you will also need to trim out the main opening of the front for it to fit nicely over top of it.

On the sides, I cut off the top lip at the bend because I wanted the plastic trim that goes inside the door to still fit.

Unless you plan on making your car a trailer queen show car, I don't recommend molding in the kit. Daily driving and temperature changes constantly make the metal of the car move slightly and will crack the kit over time. I didn't mold it in and the kit looks great.

When I get more time I'll try and post some more.
