Got any clear shots of that graphic on your hood? Why not go P-Port turbo?

I have raceon rear fenders and bodykit. They didn't fit for crap. I highly suggest Shine Auto Project parts, they fit perfectly and bolted right up.

Here's some current pics of my car, not even close to being finished. I think I'm going to ditch my R-Magic kit which I haven't even installed yet, for the Foresight kit. You can hardly tell I have Foresight front fenders..

There is no such thing as good fitting aftermarket aero, at least not out of the box. The big expensive JDM aftermarket aero companies including RE-amemiya & Tamon etc come with PLENTY of fitment problems. People have even had fitment issues with Shineautos stuff. Take your **** to a body shop so they can fit it to your car the right way if you care. Most of the misaligned non fitting bumpers were installed by people themselves with no fittting work. If you had a body shop professionally install your kit and they DID NOT fit everything right then you went to a **** body shop. This is how you get good fitting aftermarket aero, and yes it does cost $.

pay alot for a bodyshop to fit ur stuff and cry when u break it on your first outing??

cheap knock off stuff fits bad.. shineauto stuff is knockoff too dont forget that... and these cars are over 15 years old dont help either..

id show more respect to the guy who put his stuff on without having to cut up or mold it in... slight gaps is good fitment i used to work in the industry. if ur stuff had to be modded to fit, then its not very good. if you are the picky type, then yah go have a bodyshop do it because you probably cant even get oem stuff to fit

real jdm aero fits and most have predrilled holes.... not much in the us since people dont wanna buy quality good stuff, they just want to look the part

dont mean to come off hard... its jus discouraging to always hear on this forum of how perfect this or that has to be... let enthusiests know that they can build up thier cars and doesnt have to be perfect or worry about this or that. its nice to see people actually drive thier cars and not be a garage queen.

id much gladly respect the guy who manipulates his front bumper to fit over the guy who results to molding in a bad kit or hands it over to a shop that charges him alot to fix sayin its crap.

id love to see more creative exterior ideas on this forum. im all for japanese tuning influence, wheel stance and fitment plays a big roll over there.
