Look at AutoRnd.com and AIT. Even the kits that do flush mount lights, you can keep the flip lights. So no worries there.

My buddy Ken from Shine makes good qualty kits that are flexible and dont crack as easy. He's one of the vendors on this forum. I dont know what he charges though.

Try andysautosports.com they have the GP Sports G Four Aero Body Kit that is sick. But raceonusa.com has some. Also extremedimensions.com has the copy of the GP sports for a grand less.

One good thing about shine is that they pay more attention to details and their parts fit better. Ive worked for him and hated sanding the final pieces. He was a perfectionist, but then again those were his molds. Most of my friends with his stuff are satisfied though. Most ktis dont fit well and the finish is horrible, u ahve to sit there and sand them to fit and to look smooth

I feel they do it for a reason, maybe a sport skinny look in the middle, but I am just VERY curious.

kinda like this


I know this is a mustang, but they called it a "Door panel fillers".... I kinda like them.

Thanks
