hell yea, now i know that he's tryin to get over on us cause i just spoke with him (if you havent read the pm) and he told me that he made sure that he packaged it all with padding!! now for him to say that and then hear that there was no padding or foam, im definately lookin towards callin the head office or however its done. thats just straight BS. and crypto, man that sucks, especially since we were both gonna see ******* bailey...i still havent gotten in contact with him BTW.

little update: Ok, so i decided to not to take the car to a shop that was overpriced for the body kit install and paint. instead i used the money to try and make my own turbo kit. after a lot of head aches and frustration i got all the parts i needed.
Needless to say im nt to happy with the out come of the turbo project. custom made manifold (leaks), had to rebuild and modify a t-25 turbo. custom made down pipe (almost melted my fan) and fuel issues finally pushed me to the edge. after all this I was unable to drive my car for weeks. (my wife had o drive me to and from every day) With no money to fix the turbo problems and no funds left to paint the body kit and fender i hit rock bottom. Lucky for me my father in law is good with a paint gun. After some persuasion and siding his garage, he agreed to tackle the job off color matching and painting my kit and fender. although i have taken the turbo off and decided to just get the rrm kit i am realy happy with the paint job and how it came out. Me and a couple of friends preped and fitted the kit(accolade says evo 9 diffuser rear bumper is ome fit.= (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) would hardly call it oem. I almost took a hammer to it out of frustration. anyways here are some pics of the progress.

lol. now i think i will keep it. actually they will all be off soon as i get the tints. but thanks for the props. oh, totally forgot to take shots of the rear. i need more batts for my cam but i will have the soon. i didn't get the chance to paint the black part of the diffuser but as soon as the paint cures i will paint it black. and i also have no muffler and it looks weird.
