as promised.... some before shots w/ body kit installed

here you go........ i just got the body kit, fenders, and wing installed yesterday...... now all thats left is paint........ shes going to be painted tangerine pearl........ ill post pics after she is back on the road the body kit fitment was actually pretty good... needs a little work to get it flush, but nothing a body shop cant handle




note... and i know 90% of you are going to hate the wing, but i wouldnt be me if i didnt have something on my car thats controvercial

^ agreed! The car looks pretty cool from the 1st two pics, but that spoiler...

I don't know, I bet it'll look pretty good after it's painted.

Because he made a post a while ago about when he bought it. He got it from like raceon or something that makes knockoffs of popular/expensive kits.

to each his own, think the wing works, what are your plans for color, and wheels? looks nice. Is that the Raceone GP style kit? If it is how was fitment? Looks great man can't wait to see it painted.

the wide fenders looked fine w/out the kit installed...... couldnt really tell they were wider at all!!
the body kit is the raceonusa knock off of the gp sport g four kit....... i would have purchased the real one..... (and trust me, i tried) but had absolutely no luck finding one for sale! the fitment wasnt bad.... but it will need some body work to flush the lines..... she is going to be painted tangerine pearl...... kindof a medium-orange w/ a pearl effect to it!

the wing is pretty big, but i think when its painted, it wont look so bulky...... afterall, your looking at a grey wing on an orange car..... so it REALLY stands out right now

i didnt do the rear fenders do to how they look on the car...... i have many pics of them installed, and they dont flow with the car (in my opinion)..... the main reason i got these fenders is because i bought wider front wheels, and they stuck out of the fenders slightly..... so now they will fit in perfectly!!
