no, i dont have a problem with this particular kit.
personally, i dont care for the way it looks, but thats beside the point.
really, i guess i just expect things to fit when i buy them and ive heard that this kit doesnt fit to well.

I'm split between this kit and a few others...I just can't decide

my fiance has the nia kit on her tc...the fitment was actually very good.

there are tons of pics of her car with the kit on in the other nia threads on the forum. just look for the pink and black tc

when i buy something such as a lip kit, i would expect not to have to sit there and work on it.

i mean its not prepped...the fiberglass has streaks and marks and pits and such just like any other fiberglass bumper would but like I said as far as the fitment, it fits amazingly good

have you installed a nia lip kit on any tc? i have and the fitment on the kit i installed was great. so until you install one, i think what you have heard is wrong. i also know a few ppl over here in the NE that have the front lip and have no fitment issues as well.

not sure where you have 'heard' that this kit doesnt fit well, but based on my experiences and others over here by me, what you 'heard' isnt accurate by any means.

the side skirts out of the box

front molded - the front actually lined up perfect too with little modification but decided to mold it into the bumper just bcuz it looks nicer

rear molded - same as the front lip

i love my kit! the body shop guys said it was the BEST kit they had ever worked with and fitment was great out of the box. they decided to mold it instead of bolt in on to make it look better and more complete.

I just bought the rear lip today. I will let you know how it fits. Im a straight exhaust but I will check the clearance.

STNC 09-10-2008 03:10 AM

Dammit! Your sexy car makes me want this kit again!

jackotamo 09-10-2008 03:24 AM

I think I might two tone my rear lip :)

tCtCtC 09-10-2008 04:25 AM

because everything's fitment is crap. the 5axis and oem are the only perfect ones. the rs1 rear is really tight, the sides hang a little loose, the front is gap city. the nia ive only seen the front. i havent seen JP in person so i cant judge it

mmmm ive only seen 1 kami in person. only body kit that fits ok. the rest are awful.

the one thing i have to say; granted i started the thread.....that there is always fitment issues with almost any kit possible. its just how bad it is and how easy to get to fix. hell i have an ebay lip (yes laugh it up) and have to say its perfect fitment....that's the sad part.

and i like the back lip molded. looks good. but is that reflector's in the lip? (i couldn't tell or not)

STNC 09-10-2008 06:09 AM

I think shes missing the reflectors

OEM FTW!
