Not a big fan of fiberglass but it looks good. Just watch out for every little speedbump and obstacle in the road becasue fiberglass doesnt hold up that well at all.

yeah it sucks its that short, but i was told that maybe it the bumper guard that making it not go in as much, idk, they said that they had to cut some of the plastic foamy stuff a bit to get this other guys car to fit right, so maybe they will do that to mine, tha maybe the kit is right, but that it has to be pushed in a bit more ya know, but idk, i mean i measured the kit to the stock and the measured the same, but when i put it on, it didnt wanna go in, so idk, ima take the front and sides to the guy whos doin to instal 4 me to get them donw, and ima worry about the back later, i got a show to worry about next weekend, and i need the car back quick, no time for no major fabrication :d, do that later

well i have now barely started to work on puttin the kit on, i worked a dealw ith my paint guy, 400 he'll paint it, and i install it, so im installing it, than taking it off to send to him, so that way i dont have to do no drilling and risking crackin the paint, so i started on the sides today, ima do the rear when i have more time later in the wekk, this will be done slowly, since in doin it inbetwen work, im primering it all when i install it, so it'll be primer grey, so it wont be that off when its on 
i took the pics when i had them installed, i took them off and primered them after these pics, i cant tell how good the primering went since it was dark, but i know its no perfect, i messed the driver side cuz the gun got clogged, and than shot out a giant blob, i tried to wipe it off, but idk, more pics in the day tommorow

ok so what brand is the kit??? my buddy bought what he thought was a veilside kit off ebay for his miata. needless to say that $500 veilside kit sucked. we tried cutting the front bumper in half to make it fit and it was still screwed. he ended up buying the front bumper from veilside for $360. The skirts and rear bumper were fine. lesson learned, no name bodykits FTL.
its turbo'ed and my car still walks it. lol

Looks good, but who told you to primer it? because I am not 100% sure but if the bumpers already came 'primed' then you will need to sand down your primer to get rid of all the orange peel. if you dont do this it will look like ass.

Looks good but it going to be extra-low when you lower it
