I like that the nose retains similar to stock lines, but I am curious about the fitment.

Yes I like it alot too. How in the hell do you put in the rear quarter panels though?

Even if you have to cut the metal out, do you know how hard it will be to cut along the edge of the door??? yikes.

I think I'd get everything but the fenders and quarter panels, unless theres an easy way to put the quarter panel in, I'll get it all

????? why would you have to cut anything??? its a 4 piece kit..... the rear bumper cover ends at the moulding, as do the side skirts....... no cutting nescessary (i may have misunderstood your question)... i like that the body kit ends in a place where it looks flush with the body, like it was meant to be there.... (much like the gp sport g-4 kit, except the gp kit has the body moulding built into the kit) .....

the only thing i dont understand is why, when doing their "show car", did they use an s5, when the kit was designed for an s4????? then they even leave the s5 door moulding on the car, when the rest is for an s4?!?!?! looks awful!!!! and that damn car made center fold in rxtuner????????????? wtf!!!! no ftps, ugly wheels (personal opinion, thats all), mismatched body moulding..... it should not have been in a magazine



on a lighter note, i do really like the kit..... if its put on an s4

Well, now I gotta ask: Where did all the FC stuff from them go? Not listed on the page and looking through a magazine they advertised a nice set of front and rear fenders that I am looking at, but can't find on the intraweb as of late...

Pic of the front bumper on a 3 rotor FC



The price range is my style! And it's got the looks of the Gsport but with more daily driver built in(clearance).

Unfortunately the reason I'm, looking into the rear fender kit Guess it's better to do that then let the rust worsen more than it is now.

Oh, thanks for the links, too!
