Since there are no coil overs out yet, how are these guys getting these show cars so low?

Looks like you won't be able to use the parking assist once you install this kit. Don't see any sensors in the front and rear bumpers.

All's you have to do is drill some wholes for the sensors. Remember not everbody has these.

Hopefully the different manufacturers of body kits would give options...With holes pre-drilled if you have parking assist or no holes if you don't.

Its hard to tell but the fit and finish is top notch, the bad lighting from the canopy makes odd shadows giving the impression the fits is a bit rough but it is not I assure you, this will make it on my car for sure I love the kit.

As for the chick… haha she got kind of pissy with me because I asked her to move when I was checking out the fit and finish of the kit, think she thought I should have been looking at her instead, you would think Element114 could have got better looking girls...

If you wanted to see the wheels there are all listed on Elemetn114's site www.Element114.com
That wing does not look like the factory wing.

Even the stock bumper replacements come with out the sensor holes, so i doubt very much that any after market kit will either. Tthe body shop that does the install will have little trouble making the holes for the sensors.

I've been informed that within the next couple of days they are going to have pictures on their site with the front punched out and grill inserts in place on the front that everyone complained about, I can't wait to see I think this body kit is going to be one of the cleanest ones out...
