I've gone through 3 of em.

The kit itself is great quality (make) but there are innumerable waves throughout the entire thing, ESPECIALLY the top of the rear bumper. Even though the kit is worked on and smoothed out, it is very hard to get the waves out.

The fit is awesome but you have to remove the rear reinforcement unless you shave the rear bumper of the plate...then it fits. You need to lower the front reinforcement one bolt.

The side skirts need to be shaved because I know the 2 cars local that have the kit...we have the same problem and that is when you close the door, the tops of the side skirts rub against and you get a popping noise.

If your car is lowered, because the side skirts go under the car like 6"...it's hard to get a jack stand under the car and into the cutouts in the kit because they are small.

If you run 19s...TAKE EM OFF...because the kit is so long on the edges which go into the fender wells...it's non stop rubbing with one person in the car.

If there are fitment issues, wouldn't it be a knockoff? They never fit right from the start and anyone who makes a kit that costs $1000+ should have good fit. if it's $100 , it's not gonna fit well.

Not having the foglights to go with the kit are a no-no. NO fogs to go with the kit means no buying. the car looks unfinished. I'm not knocking the car in the pic either, it looks good. It's just a detail I prefer. Knockoffs never have the matching lites.

You can get the newer kit without the rear lisence plate to and someone who makes a 15,000 dollor bodykit for FERRARI 360 MODENA should fit hmmm.
