Congratulations on finishing up your car Jerry. It looks really good. Can't wait until you take better photos with your camera. The car looks pink in these photos, would love to see better resolution photos.

That one pic looks great, now its time to do something about your wheels... Maybe polish them up and get those 60mm spacers on.

Maybe it's just the picture, but it looks like there are already some scratches on the rear quarter extensions.

Is the body work on the door not right? It looks dull/hazy. You mentioned something about rubbing compound residue so maybe that's it. I would just hope it's not shotty work like poor filling.

Other than that, the kit looks like it has awesome fitment. Good going on being unique with the Shine kit. I hadn't seen it before your car.

i forgot to ask -- what is your wheel setup? i wont have money for new wheels/tires.. as it is with a stock kit its a bit narrow (18x8)... i'll need suspension and wheel spacers at the very least right?

but they dont deserve any credit for an "original design" since its a copy design.

As for the car, i liked the first few pics but when i saw the back i cringed. Without any logos or a spoiler the stock body already looks kinda boxy but with that kit it just looks too square.

How much extra did it cost to fix it so if fit properly? Reason I'm asking is that a lot of people claimed this kit would fit better than actual AC Kit which was only cost $400 more. Not trying to start anything but just saying between buying this kit and getting it to fit properly could have probably got the actual AC Kit which some have claimed has fitment issues that I'm yet to see.
