It's going into the shop in the next two weeks weather permitting. The kit fits about a 8/10 so far with no major issues. The jpr hood needs to be tweaked a little as it seems the centre section is resting on the strut bar, not allowing it to sit flush at the hinges. I might need to remove a small amount of the fiberglass cross support under the hood probably less than a 1/16th to an 1/8th. Other than that, the kit fits remarkably well. I will wait to hear what the body shop pros say though...

Bad enough.... And that's for a kit that actually fits pretty good. About an 8 out of 10...
I'm looking at roughly 3x what I paid for the kit.

Well put it this way. The turbo kit is looking like a good bargain now...

I'm working on a deal that will include a partial sponsorship. Hoping to get in and out for around $2000. Quotes as high as $5k....

Spent some time in the garage last night. Got the heat gun out and warmed up the bumper where it meets the headlight on the passenger side. There was a gap of almost half an inch between the two and I wanted to fix that before I sent it to the body shop.
I heated the bumper enough to make it flexible (Duraflex has resin in the fibreglas) then pushed it in towards the headlight gently, then held it there till it cooled. End result, it removed the gap and made the bumper fit flush! I left a 'small' impression from where I was pushing against the bumper while it was warm, but that can be easily corrected in bodyprep with filler. Pics to come soon.
