He had to split the front and rear bumper in two places to resize them to fit the car. Every single piece had three mount holes or points that didn't line up with any of the OEM mounts. He ended up cutting the mounting portions of the sides kirts and fenders and molding them onto the kit. Then to top it all off the duraflex doesn't flex at all and it hairline cracked every time he took a piece on and off for fitment which he had to repair each time. 5 gallons of resin and yards of glass later the kit fit.

Here are the pics of the fender fit.
