Well I like the way the car looks with the AP color, I know I said I wasn't crazy about it but I really mean it's (oh boy here we go) more of a girlie color IMO. I can look at a AP car and think it's nice like I look at a pink car and think it's nice. I really shouldn't even say that cuz it's not really a girlie color but just not one I would want but I do like it. I'm not crazy about the red tC either and wouldn't have it or the new RS2 blue (just saw that today in person and wasn't crazy about it). Either way yours looks awsome and I'd drive it.

Aggghhh this finally comes out in flex fiber after I order my front lip. But I do love the rear the most so maybe I'll have to go for a mix. I think it looks great (all parts of it) But the paint is way off, I'd get that guy to repaint it, tell him you'll give the 100$ back.

hey I just ordered Viniati's M3 front (their's is urethane the one i have now is fiberglass... BAD IDEA) anywho back on topic I acutally mixed and matched my kit the M3 Front Drifter2 rear (Very very simple rear if you guys like clean and simple thats the rear for you) and the Buddy Club sides... your statements on fitment kind of scared me lol... how much time did you have to put into fitment???

I like the kit, but as for the way you have to tweak it, it kinda ticks me off that a Co. sells a kit that really doesnt fit without serious prep work. No offense to any one who gets it, but it had better be free or atleast 100 for the whole damn thing since it really doesnt fit correctly out of the box. Why would they sell a product that doesnt fit right, is what gets me. If the kit doesnt fit striaght out of the box then it should go back to the drawing board so people who buy this kit wont have to spend greater amount of money fixing something that should fit the first time through. Its a great concept and i am glad to see they are atleast trying, but seriously dont release something that doesnt fit.... Make it fit, then release it.

Yea i agree with you 100%. But the odd thing is is that some kits fit differently then others. We had exposed in chicago not to long ago. And some owners kits fit well without any hassle as other had to do minor or major adjustments. I probably just got one of the bad ones in the bunch.

No day time pics until i get it repainted.

its alway in the curing and prepping of their molds... a lot of ompanies don't let the fiberglass cure the whole way before shipping it so while its in those 100+ degree temps during shipping it bends and contorts... rolstc... how much work were the side skirts I am anxious to get mine on but i wanna know how much you paid to get them fitted...

They're not fitted yet. But the guy who is fitting it for me is charging $300. But that $300 dollars consist of all the grilles and fitment.

i have always liked that kit, that sucks it takes so much work....but with my experince with body kits is IT takes alot of time money and patience.
very clean lines, not over the top.

good luck with getting it fit, are you having it professionally done, i hope?

1st off, damn, the kit looks very nice!

2nd: Fitting or buying a kit for your car can be heart wrenching sometimes...but let me give you the main lack of fit reason:
-Car you drive might be made from a different mold than the production model used to make the part.
-Shrinkage factors from the fiberglass are also considered. (you all know what I mean)

Our P.O.V.-It is not like we throw kits together and are out for some sick a twisted plot to sell you crap...Because the kit had to fit on one car before it got shipped for production. (and believe me a lot of work goes into it!) Though, I did not work on this product...(FYI: Authentic Viniati parts fit like a gem)

We just ordered another container, so we will have more flexfiber kits in stock by Oct. and some of the new kits also!

Keep up the great work!

I would make sure he is going to blend the bumpers and sides into the car.. That means he needs to paint and clear the whole sides. It is not a quick easy paint job.
I went round and round with mine. You dont paint the kit on the car. You paint the kit off the car and then put it on the car and blend it in. Then you clear it all. That is how you make it match right.

Good luck and hope it turns out good..
Get some day shots will you...

IMHO, that is the best looking kit for the tC, especially the front. You can have fitment issues with any kit.
I'd rather get thie flexfiber kit for $600 and spend $600 for fit and paint then another full fiberglass kit for $1000 and pay $300 just for paint IF it fits.

From this distance, though, it all looks good.
Could you post some pics of how well the exhaust fits in the rear cutout?
