i'm assuming it's gonna be a replica kit, and depending on pricing/quality, there will be some fitting work needing to be done. i'd say research more on which kits are the best fitting and go from there.

^word.

For the price, the knock-off fab is great IF you know a good bodyshop and you're willing to spend some cash to make it fit right.

If not, spend a little more on the real deal, or something that fits a tad better.

thanks guys. well turns out the dealership that's repairing my car is ordering it from extreme dimensions? never heard of them... are they some knock off lots of back breaking work to make it fit company?

extreme dimensions makes replica kits. they're somewhat known and decently legit. still, i believe you will need at least some work for proper fitment with any replica kit.

ED kits are actually ok.. I dont have one, but sell them.. never had a complaint, but because they are kinda mass
molded, exacting fitment is something that must be done by the installer.
The quality will be good, the fab kit is good looking as well, IMO one of the better body kits of the bunch, as far as a clean, yet highly modified feel.
Good luck with your install and hope it turns out great.. POST PICS!!
