The real one fits perfect. The eBay one fits terrible. I bought mine off someone else, so the holes were already drilled. I had a local guy paint it, and then I installed it. In the middle of winter, while it was snowing/raining/hailing over the course of a few days.
Ideally, you'd want a body shop to fit it and drill the holes, paint it and install it. They'll make sure it all matches and that there's no gaps. And fix the issues if there are any with fitment before its painted. The front I bought from AAS had very little material on the driver side and one of the mount holes kept cracking. Need to rivet some supporting metal to it to get it to fit perfectly.

Have Auto Addictions over on M59 and Crooks paint it and install it. I'd go there for anything cosmetic.

have an admin remove the +1alero and it'll be fine.
i prefer the AAS, but unless i mangled my car, i won't get one. buying a kit, just to destroy it w/ salt/snow/weather related bs is a bad investment imho.

The + wasnt supposed to be there, it was an underscore. BTL was my good friends crew out in cali.
And Eh, The bad weather and salt may seem true.. but I know people who ride around in their Neon srt-4's and what not with their kits on and they are perfectly fine.

I want to get one too, But i would change mine back to stock before every winter.
Once its fitted and painted, installation is a matter of screws
