Need Advisement
alright everyone this is my problem... I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! i know, i know
Anyways, ive had my 7 for almost two years now and i finally got it running!
But my dilemma is im not sure what to do with the bodywork, i bought a body kit from raceonusa (the 111) because it was affordable and im a stupid ******* moron im not sure if it is just a badly produced body kit or if it is because it was made to fit s5's and not s4's or both. i bought it intending to shave the bumper moldings and give it a clean shaved look. but, it doesent fit right, it took hours to get the front bumper on and not knowing how to install it correctly, i screwed up, it doesent even look that good I have already shaved my doors with bondo, ripped the other molding off and thrown my bumpers away and the worse part (please no flame, ive beaten my self) gave in and listened to a friend of mine and cut my front fenders to be able to get the front bumper on.
What should i do?
I found a guy who works at a nice body shop by me who will install the rest of the body kit and fix my mistake with the front bumper but im afraid the body kit wont look good without the whole thing being shaved with bondo as one piece (thats what i told the guy i wanted done) he offered to do it for $1000! im told by a friend (not the same as before) that this will look bad!
should i pay the guy or just cut my losses and get new stock front fenders and bumpers? or please post some alternatives!!!!

Their kits are notorious for not fitting right, or even coming close to fitting right, and have the crappiest customer service when it comes to dealing with it. A few people on here have found that out the hard way. I would try talking to Raceon first and see where that gets you, but don't hold your breath.
