I've had real kits before with what I would call poor fitment (Lsportline kit for IS300), so even the real deal isn't always a slam dunk.

If u hav the right model, it should fit on ur car. U need 2 person to hold each side in order to fit it. 1 in shorter is very common.

It fits, I tried it this morning. I think its because the first time I tried at night time and it was cold and less flexible. In the morning it was still shorter but with the right amount of force I can put it on. Thanks for the help everyone!

Yeah, I just gave it to the bodyshop to get it painted. I'm making the midsection matte black and the sides SGM. Ill post up pics next week when I get a trunk spoiler and do a photoshoot with some of my friends =]

no more uniqueness, but at least you're the guinea pig so i can see if it looks good or not. don't know how well it will flow. then maybe we can be twins?

Haha for sure, I just don't know whether to paint the middle dividing line coming down black or sgm. I post pics as soon as I can for you.
