In his defense this is what he said in response to my pictures of the kit. So maybe he jumped to conclusions, but you have to admit he gave credit to the kit when he looked at the pictures

So I got the rest of my kit in the mail... the front lip came cracked where it would likely bend, damn DHL for not reading the instructions. SO looks like I am going to repair that too. Good thing repairing fiberglass is cheap. Fitment was pretty good, not the best. The sideskirts mated up well with the stock side skirts except near the top. You can clearly see a gap and wavy lines against the body. Looks like I will have to stretch that out and fill it to sit flush... At least now, I can have some fun doing some body work I guess.

I loved the lip while it lasted...it just didn't work out for me with my h-tech drop, and Queens, Li NY roads...one bad pothole because of traffic killed it after a few months...that looks great though!

Mine was actually packed very well,and I didn't have damage so I guess DHL are the douche bags that need to read the fragile labels

So I spent 4 hours today filling out the 2 cracks on my front lip and primed up my back lip. I felt like DIY mode today so I am also going to paint it myself! Im going to do front and back soon. Sideskirts are another problem. Im thinking I have to use some kind of support ie wire mesh or cardboard to lay down some more fiberglass to fill out the huge wavy gap and then fill it... ugh what a pain in the ___. I know what you guys are thinking, return that crap. Well it would not be worth the trouble, it would cost and take less time just fixing this...

^

you dont need to fill in the gaps, you need to sand down the high points to bring the gaps closer to the body. its real easy takes about 5 min's with 40 grit sandpaper. if you have any problems pm me.

I know this thread is OLD but I'm gonna bump it cus I've been searching info on this kit and this is the best I've found.

my question is how much lower will this go? I love the look of the kit but I'm afraid it'll hit the floor and my investment will go the the crapper. from a lot of pics it looks very low. and I'm already lowered 2" front and rear.
