Im pretty sure no kit out there is made specifically for the convertible/coupe (theyre exactly the same as far as body goes - minus the top of course lol) all kits out there are basically meant for the hatchback. So anything your wanting to do the rear bumper will need modification to fit properly. I say if your gonna go with the kit, and you dont know how to use and work with fiberglass, dont do it yourself and have the professionals do it. When i did my back bumper we pretty much had to cut the peice in half to add about 6 inches of new fiberglass. But that was just the 404 peice, I dont know about any other bumper. But when I did it was not an easy task and if done wrong you could ruin the bumper.

Front, and side skirts will fit fine and there should be no major problems with those. If anything itll just be a slight, no big deal of a fitment problem which can and does happen - even to hatchbacks. I dunno if someone replied about that but I saw you were confused so Im just clearing things up wink.gif
