Those little cracks look like just gel coat cracks, I've seen them on other kits, and they weren't a problem a problem after they got sanded them out/ after it's been fitten and they all show up.
that skirt's inexcusable though, absolutely ridiculous.

in the pic is stress cracks. From the car flexing. Every kit (no matter who makes the kit) will have these. Thats why you need to drive w/ the kit unpainted for 2 weeks. To let everything settle in. Then fix it before paint.

So basically, the only issues there seems to be is side skirts, rear bumper is a little messed up, and the spoiler has fitment issues... So it's not ALL bad...
The guy who did the skirts needs to be kicked in the head.... I would have done better than that and I've never worked with fiberglass or any of that stuff....

The spoiler is minor sanding, not an issue Chris.

you would think that after having the car for more than half a year, they would get the shit straight the first time, and then look how they mounted that shit to the car.. LOL
the things needing fixin' isn't all that bad, the fact is, it should'a been done right the first time.. getting two of the same side skirts? who the hell is packaging this stuff?

as far as the fitment is concerned... it is fiberglass... so there will never be a completely "plug and play" install... from the stress fractures to the warp and flex, each kit will have to be fit to it's respective car. the side skirts are a bit short but it's not unheard of... both kits that i have installed i needed to physically cut the skirt in half and extend it... must be a common issue... i dunno. just work it out

I am sorry Bro, a side skirt that is short is totally unacceptable. The whole skirt is effed up. Yes glass kits are not plug and play but the skirts and rear bumper are a joke. God help the person that buys one off their site at full price that has no clue how bad it is.
The fact that they gave Jose his car like that is a crime. Installer should have been shot.

I just sent a huge email to bodykits letting them know how i feel about their product and what other people think. This is just effing ridiculous.....they had plenty of time to work on this to make it PERFECT yet there are still problems to be worked out. They said they offer high quality products at low prices...... The thing that pisses me off the most is that they dont come on here and respond to any of our posts concerning their half assed work.

Why do you want to piss them off even more Billy? We are trying to work things out with them at this time. If they tell us to go eff ourselves then fine.
Let us handle it for now, there are more details that you don't know about because your not part of the buy.
Put down the bottle and step away from the keyboard.

@ Billytheman, Your understandably angry, but E-Mailing them angrily is not going to solve anything, more so if you didn’t buy the kit, they will probably ignore the e-mail, or if they did read it and it is absurd, as in F bombs and the such, itl only make us all look bad. So please refrain from sending any more angry e-mails, let the people who have purchased the kit work it out, they probably know more about it than us who have not purchased said kit ^_^

holy crap Billy, I am pissed of FOR these guys too, but I haven't said anything in this thread until just now....and it's not even to talk about the kit, cuz I don't have anything new to say. Billy, you definitely shouldn't be emailing a company to complain about a product that you aren't even in the market for. Plain and simple.
