Talking Finally my bodykit is on!

Here are pics. I had a post up a week ago about the paint being orange on my red car. Anyway, thanks for posting their with advice about what to do with the body shop.

OK this is a knock-off do-luck, I bought it on ebay and thought it was a cheap alternative to the real kit. In the end the price tripled to have it installed and painted. I probably would have paid the same amount if I had just bought the real thing.

I am happy with the tranformation in my car, and if anyone is interested I can go into more detail about what had to be modified to have it fit.

Oh yeah, the next mods are:

19" silver mesh style rims
Exhaust
Lower 1.5"
Possibly rear spoiler?

Tell me what you think

Are the sideskirts on backwards? You might want the shop to fix that and doesn't look like you got the do-luck sides either.

Ahh! I can't believe i didn't notice that. Well I am trying to find pics of this skirt. I think it belongs to the Evolution Exclusive body kit. I'm not sure if i even wnat to go back to the shop to have it fixed. They were a real pain to work with.

I can't tell if it looks that bad.

And what about the front grill, JCM3 says black.
I was thinking of a billet grill (just chrome horizontal bars)
any other ideas?

Default kit

I really hate to say this but I'm just not feeling this kit. I'm wondering what's wrong with me since everyone else seems to dig it. I guess it goes like that sometimes. A+ for effort though. Side skirts are on backwards, maybe it'll be better when they're on right.
