The Kit has arrived
So after many weeks of waiting the kit is here.
But it took asking BodyKits.org where is my kit, and them telling me its will be here that day and it not comming. I talked to a friend and he said to call em asking for a tracking number. So Thursday i called them asking for the shipping number and they gave it to me along with the shipping company's number. So i called the shipping company (which is an 1hr and 30 minutes away from me) and i found out that my kit is on hold. They said i could come and get it, but i didnt have a truck or anything to transport it. So i asked if they could they could deliver it to my door. They told me that i would have to call the compay and have them relese the order. So i called em and they say they would take car of it. Then i called the shipping company Friday and asked em if my package was commin today. The lady put me on hold for a few minutes, and then came back on and said you kit will be there after lunch. So 3pm rolled around and i see the truck outside
God i was so happy that i got it. And now im saddend cuz i gotta drill all the wholes. So i might have a professional do it cuz i dont wanna mess up a 950 dollar kit, and there is other work that need to be done by a professional. Mainly because i dont have the tools. Ill post some pics later, but currently my front bumper and a stock side skirt is off.

Worst part is if they're warped or over/undersize due to shrinkage. Fiberglass parts- especially ones that have been sitting around in a warehouse for awhile have a tendency to not fit right.
What I did was reuse the metal strips on each fender- they are like support strips, but if you lay them on top of the bumper- it makes it super easy to mark where to drill the holes- the only thing you have to really worry about up front is making sure you do them correct side to side so they're flush with the fenders.
With the rear, you have to watch front to back too because of that lip by the taillight. Side skirts are a mess.
Its hard to goof up fiberglass though, if anything gets drilled wrong or gets cracked- you can always just repair it. I just think a shop is gonna rape you to do the custom fitting and install.
For the front and rear there aren't really any special tools you need- a drill and some drill bits, and common hand tools like sockets and dikes are all you really need.
