Okay I have parts of my body kit from andy's on my REX. I still have to paint the front bumper. But the side I painted. the fit on the front is great and with some bracket's it doesnt move at all. the side's mounted great and I got to use the oemmount holes. I did have to add one bolt in the wheel wells. letme know what you think.

Front bumper

Side skirts

I think I'd spend $100 on a header panel before I'd spend $X on a bumper that makes a compact car look like a mack truck. You asked for opinions.

If I didnt get hit in the back then I woundnt have bought the kit. the person that hit me paid me cash instead of going the insurance way. so for something that is free you cant beat the price. but ya Im going to get a one piece cf hood when Mr.D or someone has them up for sale so Im not wasting money on the header panel. and All kits will make our cars look bigger then they are in the front and back.

As for the before pics they would be in my first link. there you can see the whole car before the kit. and I still have the back bumper to put on.

And they are shaped where they flair in the center. just the way they are made I guess. thats the one thing I liked the most about the kit. Is that It does have unique curves to it.

ill never be a fan of bodykits. but great job on painting the sideskirts!!! color matches very well. as long as you like it on your car then thats all that matters. im sure it'll look much better with the cf hood and all the pieces painted. the thing that bothers me the most are people who throw body kits and z3 fenders on and NEVER paint them. they end up with a 12 tone car with a nasty, distasteful kit and it looks hideous!!! the kit you got is pretty simple and clean so im not gonna flame you....*that much* hehe. but i hope you paint those bumpers soon!!! haha. good luck man.

Ill put some on here from the ground to the bottom on the skirt. More directly to the side. Thats a way youll be able to see that Its not bent like it looks. hows that.


But my car isnt dropped down at all. it sits 35.5" to top of well in back and 34" in the front. need the coil over kit I know

While the coke bottle rockers aren't quite my cup of tea they do appear to be very well made and the fitment seems good, and I kind of like the front bumper because it looks like it's LOLing at me. laugh.gif
