Depends on your patience really

Dont be suprised when you have to cut and notch things. Its my experience that most kits are slightly warped by the time i get them, sideskirts generaly require the most work to get to fit properly. If you have some time and some tools, you will be fine, have a backup plan though if you find yourself introble aka real bad fit, or you just have no idea what your doing

You're going to need quite a bit of knowledge to install something like a bodykit..know-how in molding and other body work.

I bet it won't fit well. ED Designs (I think that's what it was?) did not make this bodykit first, therefore it = knockoff, and knockoffs never fit right, unless it's from Corksport

i bought the front bumper fo that kit to make my bumper and it seemed pretty decent as far as fit goes. Extreme dimensions doesnt make the kit, erebuni does, they are just the dealer for them. Kit should fit decently fine.

Wow....that kit looks just like the one I can get from Erubani for about the same price and you get better quality I think. http://www.spoilers.com/ge/mazrx786.htm

You have a point, though I do have both a S4 and a S5. I plan on keeping the S5 stock for the body, but my S4 is getting the body kit...since my bumpers are both toast.

I'll let you in on our secret... Having it made here in the US by guys who know what they're doing instead of a huge factory in China where they just mass produce them
