It will fit, but takes a bit of modification (including filling in two 1.5" gaps), so for best results you will have to blend it in.
My bodyshop hated doing mine

yeah most places will not! blend kits. But if you have the time AND patience its really not that hard to do. I had no experience before mine, and everything came out fine.. with alot! more work than that

I had a shop do it
I wanted to retain the ability to remove my front bumper (access to FMIC etc) so I asked for the cut to be put in, if it were all fully blended in I would not be able to do so. Also helps make it look more OEM I reckon. -------------------- |

Just realised our lips are different, looks like yours is for the facelift (404a?) and mine is for pre facelift (404?). Check under the indicators

To me, Marco's lip looks to be similar to the GangsJail/Z-Glyde Type-3 Lip.
 The Erebuni 404/404a lip is a replica of the GangJail/Z-Glyde Type-2 Lip, which is what Rob's lip looks like. This post has been edited by AlyssaGZE: Nov 17, 2010 - 11:08 PM |

Looks like it's going well mate
You have probably realised already, but you will have to fabricate a couple of brackets to hold the front to the bit on the wing at the bottom. This post has been edited by Rob_A: Dec 2, 2010 - 11:14 AM -------------------- |
