Well how the heck does the stock car's panels go together. It would seem to me that they either go together like the first one, or they go together like the 2nd one.

You'll have to either cut the fender (probably the easiest) or the bumber to make the parts fit together. It's a simple task for any real body shop to take care of....

That fender looks basically like an OEM fender save for the vent behind the wheel. The bumper's back section is designed to fit over the bottom front of the fender.

But, whenever you mix bodykit parts, you may have problems.

Many FC front noses have parts that sweep back over the bottom of the front fender to make it "fatter". If you have side skirts, the side skirts many times fit up over the bottom rear of the front fender, so you get a fat "line" going across the bottom of the car.

first off...its too much work ...second in order for this to work you will have to cut the fender socket for the side markers because the body kit has the socket already...then you would have to find a way to get rid of the gap tha its gonna leave from adding 1/2''of fiberglass....i did it thats why

those GP fenders fit like a turd in a cup of coffee.....

and the bumper goes OVER the fenders, don't cut the fender portion it overlaps off.....you need it to secure the bumper.
