what to do... what to do.....

ok so heres the deal. first of all never buy a cheap body kit... buy nice not twice..
well i got a kenstle kit for 500 shipped anyway.. ebay all the way!... actualy the front fits really good, and the side skirts arent that bad, but the back is horrrribleee. not to mention its not even a ken style, i think its aspec or somthing and if i do put it on i would have to get my exhaust rerouted about 5 inches to the left... so im thinking about just leaving on my stock back bumper and just puting on the ken style front and side skirts. ive get em on like that right now in my driveway, but im just a perfectionist and dont really like how you can notice how the side skirts hang just a little lower than the back bumper. im goin to be lowering it 1.25-1.5'' soon so it might not look bad. also when its all painted you might not notice it. what do you guys think?

Put a pic of the whole car with the front bumper showing. It matters how they all 3 look together, not just the ss and the back bumper.

The white really pops out. hopefully you can't notice the sides when there matched with your car.

If they are fiberglass then just spend some time fixing them. I know it sucks to get cheaps kits though but they are all going to require some work. Just hope it looks good after paint.

yea i know it, ive gata do a little work to the side skirts, but not much. but with the back.... its badddd.
the hole for the exhaust doesnt line up at all, its 4-5 inches to the left. as far as fixing it to fit better isnt the hard part, its just the ark on the wheel well looks really dumb. its not curved enough. the gap between the bottom of the bumper and the tire is like 6-8 inches...

actually.. i like how it looks.. i think the back bumper should always pick up the rear of the car.. i hate it wen a car looks like its wearing a prom dress or something..

that really does look clean.. just my .02

BTW how are you selling the OZ body-kit and wing??.. i still see it on your car.. lol
