You will end up paying a body just as much for their labor in making it fit as you would have paid for the real thing.

I did everything myself, including paint. So just the costs for the material, I've already got all the tools.
The only work really needed was just a bit of sanding and grinding, and a little fiberglass. other than that no problems. and fitment is near perfect. no gaps, no flares. nice and snug.

i have the same kit and i threw it on my car. the sideskirts are a tad bit short, but a dremmel tool fixed that. and i have some minor door closing problems but a screw fixed that. and the front well that is another story. the highbeams have to be altered. lucky i have hid and never use the high beams, the sides fit but after 2 weeks of scraping have extra screws in the car, and most of all check the hood line before drilling holes. nothing worse than seeing a huge gap between the bumper and hood. As for the back well i made a mistake of getting drunk when we got to the portion so we know that turned out wrong. 2 hours of work for a cheap kit and at the end of the day i get props with my funky setup. i say next time i will get vertex, but i am sure this kit will be gone after its first drift event, so why pay thousands to crack it?

Yes, I plan to reveal the finished product after I have everything finished. I just purchased megadeth's blitz nur-spec exhaust today and still waiting on my coilovers to come in. I still have to clean up the interior and fab something for the dash where I put in a HU. Also just received new brakes that I have not yet put on. Everything should be completed in about 2 weeks.

soardrft, I found a screw on the highbeams that I used to adjust the vertical position and make a good fit. Not sure if that is your problem. If you need to adjust it horizontally then I dunno..
