The rear bumper and passanger side side-skirt aren't on yet. He didn't have the bumper it's still being painted, and we didn't have time for the other side-skirt.

We are gunna finish the car tonight (except the rear bumper which is in the shop until tomorrow). After we are done installing, we are gunna go around the car and tweak and adjust everything.

Well there's still a few "problems" , but nothing I don't think we can't iron out.

Basically there _are_ some "wavy" edges on one of the side skirt that don't allow them to really sit flush, it will need to be sanded or molded, or whatever.

Now, this sin't really a big deal because Accolade sells fiberglass kits, and a little sanding or putty is just about always needed on any fiberglass kit (Accolade, Wings West, whoever). The only problem is the body shop already painted his parts! So the part will probably need touch up paint or a replaint all together.

As I said, this isn't really accolade's fault since it is a fiberglass kit, and for the money, it's pretty close.

Dave (from Accolade) can you recommend any good methods for shaving down edges? Since it's fiberglass, there's probably a certain method that works best. We had a file but thought it might crack the fiberglass so we didn't do anything. Thanks.
