*Blemished parts have cracks and other imperfections.

probly more trouble then it's worth. depending on the imperfections, it cold be more costly to have a body shop get it in any kind of condition to be painted and mounted, but then again... I imagine each one has different imperfections..

just a little FYI all body kits suck when it comes to fitment,
they will not be perfect no matter how good the kit is. If
its made out of fiberglass be ready to do some work to make it fit.

You are WRONG saying that ALL bodykits dont fit. Take REAL thing like Garson - and then talk.

I got my Garson D.A.D kit - and it fitted like OEM thing, even it was made from Fiberglass. I seen way too much fiberglass stuff in my life, cuz i was buildng / selling FG stuff, but i never saw a quality like original JP companys made kits. They are pricey, but you get what you pay. If you want cheap knock-off - be ready to blow $ on fittment, prepare for paint, painting...

Dude it looks like your car is already to JP specs concidering
your in lithuania, us over here in the states have slightly different
specs so when we try to put kits on our cars we come across issues
millimeters will make a difference... some of those being the removal
of toe hook, beams, etc.

Did you even have to remove your reinforcement beams?

My car - is 2006 Scion Xb, bought on Salvage Auctions in US, WITH huge front damage (but it was practicly brand new :D ) Had to rebuild it from scratch, drill / cut part of the frame, change it and etc... (if you do a search - i wrote a whole topics about all the works...

So my car is exactly the same car as you guys have, i'v been importing cars from US already 4 years...

I had to remove rear support to fit NCP30 rear bumper, i had to re-work rear hatch opening system to support electric switch instead of mechanical opening, i had to do all the other things things, and even considering that my car was damaged - i NEVER had problems putting OEM bumpers or Aftermarket stuff.

Im working now on 350z - and guy bought all the stuff from US, from Seibon, VIS racing, HAVOC, and all i can say - all of the stuff he got to me - is HORIBLE, fitment is not even near good, and practicly all the pieces of the kit (im talking about Havoc Wide body kit....http://www.ibherdesign.com/350z-ground-effects.html ) HAD to be reworked fully to atleast fit / look like they ment to be... I NEVER - NEVER saw any atleast good produced piece from US manufactures, cuz most of the pieces are still produced in China, and US company logo are put on... I have some experience as i stated before on FG, so i know what the heck im talking...

JP bodykits (VARIS, C-ONE, GARSON, and etc) - are top of the line, i have few hoods from Varis (they cost around 1800$) and they are well worth the money, cuz once you put it on - all gaps, fittment - are just like OEM. If you take VIS / Seibon hood - its heavy, gaps near fenders DONT match at all - shape is somthere outhere and etc...

I had C-One stuff on my celica - its perfect, fitment is perfect - the only downside - is they are very very thin - so they tend to crack fast.

Now i have this Garson piece - and as i stadet before too - its just like OEM, and in some ways - even better then OEM (with mounting points and etc, and how its holds)

Im importing cars / stuff from Japan too - so i have some expierience on this stuff too :D

On the other note - i can not say that all the JP stuff is good - they have lots and lots of shiz just like everyone in the world

Does anyone have experience with any of the Extreme Dimensions kits? Wondering about quality and fitment. Looking at buying through Andy's Auto Sport. Our club gets a discount there. Will be getting a kit as soon as my insurance check arrives.

Extreme dimensions kits suck. poor fitment. All of their stuff- or should I say the stuff I got- has little divits in the surface that def require bondo of fiberglass filler before they are smooth. nothing is straight...all I can say is good luck!

you do get what you pay for!
