Thanks for all the well-wishings.

To answer a few questions, I have decided to fit the kit on tonite while it is primered... and yes I will drive it around a bit just to get some reactions . Pictures will ensue.

Also I am doing this kit for MYSELF and not anyone else

hey kareem just wondering all the primer and paint specs?
like what brand of primer and paint ?
and also what type of clear just curious cause i just recenlty painted the plastics on bike and i went with a more expensive clear that was made more for plastics , so i was told it had addatives in it so it wouldnt crack as easily when the plastic bends , but it was the hardest clear ive ever shot it was real thick and and didnt spread worth a darn even though i mixed it like it said.
cant wait to see pics ,good luck

I use just spraypaint primer, i find that the cheapest and it works pretty darn good. I use DuPont Chromabase paint. The clearcoat I use is Nason brand automotive clearcoat. It works pretty good and will flex without cracking.

Just screw em into the car @ the stock locations. Remove the stock **** and line the new stuff up then mark where u need to drill holes.
