I've put many of the cheap ebay kits on lots of different cars with no fitment issues at all... Then again, people in my area bought the exact kits I used from the same place and they looked horrible... Im guessing most people have fitment issues because the kits arn't installed correct.

The only issues I've ran into with cheap ebay kits where the vented fenders... They needed slight work before paint but thats about it.

Thanks munki-------i do have quite a bit of experiance with body work of other kinds and im hoping that my experiance there can help me here------------the way i see it --and of course i could be wrong ----is that if these parts absolutely did not fit they would not be for sale-----im sure that yes they do need some or alot of coersion to fit properly and even some modifications along the way -----but to me i would rather save money and put in some labour and work rather than spend thousands of dollars for something that could end up needing alot of work anyways

a few people hagve told me that even the original kits have given them a hard time and had fitment issues.

These ebay kits are probably worse but ill never know till i get one i guess.

i think it is going to be a challenge but i think i am up to it-------i guess im going to go for it -------worst case scenario is im out a couple hundred dollars----not good but not the end of the world either----thanks

Im also going to look into the shine kit like some people are telling me -------- if so many people recomend it im sure it is worth me looking into it.

ebay....wise lip vertex sides and rear....front lip fit like a charm, sides took about 2 hours per side of modifying, and rear lip took about 2 hours also if u have body work experience you should be good to go.

SC_coupe, 1willy1. this thread is closed due to your back and forth insults (worst of which have been removed). This thread is closed - knock that off, I don't expect it to carry over into future threads.
