I stopped by again to check up on how things are going. Though the kit isn't bad fitting, it is far from being perfect like an OEM kit. He had to make holes and sand down a few things here and there. The rear bumper's holes did not line up and had to be redrilled. Not to big of a deal.

Our biggest trouble now is that the fogs that I bought from ebay arrived with broken mounting screw AND the mounting tabs for the fogs are way short





Everything is lined up right. No more gap!



Something a slightly rare...



To hell with the trunk spoilers, hood spoiler ftw.

Also last night, I had to decide whether I should remove the fender liners or not. The fender liner has two parts. The front piece and the upper piece. To keep the front piece, inner fold of the bumper had to be drilled.

Also, there were no cut outs for the license plate lights so that had to be cut out.

I bought it last year from Luxurymods. I don't think it is in production anymore. Its no longer on the Vertex website.

That's good you are leaving them on, no need to take them off since the wheels are very conservative.

I rub on the upper one and theres not much to hold it in place since I rolled the fenders. However, I don't want to remove it yet until I relocate the harness.

The front one, I don't think anyone should have any issues with it.
