i did they said its done and i could pick it up in the morning but i still think there is going to be something wrong with it. If the dude did it right in the first place i wouldnt have to waste all this gas and time plus getting rear ended by a freakin old lady. Ahh..man I dont even feel like keeping the car anymore.

don't worry everything will work out, just don't give up and settle. I would have already called up my Attorney about this...

yea thats true..but somewhat of good news came by today! I just got my car back and the front lip looks good. They kinda molded the gaps together so it looks like a one piece. You can still see just a tiny bit of that nasty bumpy glue stuff but its a big improvement. The back looks the same, still with that glue stuff so after I settle the situation with the cops about that old lady who hit me I will get that redone.

Gonna have new pics when I get a chance.

reading this the only thing that comes to my mind is why is there gaps on a kit that is worth over a grand, and reading that people have to mold on their kits to cover the gaps. Im disappointed on 5a

its actually a pretty good kit..i think the shops that install it just bs about the gaps or at least the shop i went to did. However its only minor gaps. The side skirts are straight..there are some orange peeling in the paint because the shop did a bad job along with some dents where the screws went but whatever my mistake for going there. If your ever in Chicago or skokie, dont ever go to MPH for body work but tuning work for sure. They are awesome in that portion

yeah, way better, put the five axis on the sideskirts if you want to, that's where they normally go, but debadge that rear asap.

a noob probably worked on your car, looked like the person didnt have any experience with kits.

but the redo looks flippin fantastic, they probably heard the ish hit the fan, and got one of their vets to do it right.

freakin clean, job well done

ditto, as for the emblem, leave it be, and put the one fiveaxis sticker on the cneter of the front lip kenstyle style... the other one... save it just in case you need a replacement, or sell the kit to someone who's a different color than you...

yea but he still didnt do anything for the rear so i talked to his boss and they told me to come back..ehh yea he is a noob. I gave him the instructions to the kit and he just blew it off. He said hes been doin aftermarket kits for years so he doesnt need it. Well still got two more things to do on the kit since he still didnt do it right.

I hate sucky body shops! I used to have a classic Mustang, and they put a paint chip the size of a quarter by the headlight and covered it up with touch up paint, so I didn't see it for a week! F*ckers better do it right next time, or kick his a$s!

damn, that's a huge improvement from the previous work done to it. At least now, there aren't even any gaps to the kit since they molded the kit. I've got a 2008 and you're making me think more about saving up for this kit

Anyways, I hope you get all these issues straightened out man
