(Just in case your wondering, thats a sticker in the midle o the kit... we just never took it off for some reason)


On this last pic you can tell that the side view has darker pimer than the rest of the kit... thats where we had to do some minior customizing to get it to fit... We had to basically saw off an extra inch of the part that curves to the wheel and then remake that curve... LOL This is prolly not making too muh sense cuz I dont know technical names... Either way, we customized it to make the front half fit without the need of someone holding it... Before it wouldnt even come close to sitting on the car by its self.

The back fender took the most customizing... Sorry i dont have a pic of it, cuz its kinda a pain to put on at the momment... It wont sit on the car by its self so we havta duct tape it on to see what it looks like. But anyways.... This part took the most work, because this part wouldnt even come close to fitting... What we did was we sawed off like 2-3 inches off on each side, and customized it to be longer and to have the same curves as the kit... It was pretty tough work since all the customizing was at home... But yeah, the back ender took us abut a month to complete... But yeah.. Overall... The kit is done!

Next we're fitting on the side skirts, which we know will basically fit with hardly any customizing... Then in about a week, all of the kit will be bolted on and then sent away for paint shortly after... So it'll be done soon, and I'll put up WAY WAY better pics LOL biggrin.gif

LOL sorry I cant explain worth sh$t.... But lemme know what you thinks so far
