you should get some grill mesh for it before you install it. just think it would look even nicer. but other than that its looking good.

Did you drive with the kit unpainted to set the fiberglass "break in" for a week or two? .. if not then your newly painted kit will later have stress cracks and stuff. Thats what the break in period is for, for you to fix everything thats settled before painting.
Other than that... nice work!

it looks awesome! Let me know how the NY driving it with that so I know if I should go this this kit or the razzi b/c potholes are crazy in this state. But I won't be worrying about this for awhile. How much is this running you?

i would not recommend the AAS for NY unless you dont plan on lowering your car. i drove around for like 2 weeks in NY with my AAS kit lowered and cracked those openings in the front of kit

i only have 15's stock still. so that sucks, it's 4 inches from the ground but ill be buying the first pair of bigger rims that i can find used for 200-300 so if any 1 on here has them for that price let me no
just be careful with the front because if you tap anything it will crack through and ruin that vent thing. i have a silver car so duct tape isnt too noticable until i get it to the bodyshop and fill those holes anyway

yea i don't think i'll be lowering my car b/c of how much i scrape the bottom of my car. But I have a lot of time to think about this still b/c this summer is the chrome 18's I'm getting. :)

im going with chrome 18's but i have to wait till next summer cuz im buying a house. this is probly the only big thing i can do this year.
ur probably only hitting your air dam and not the actual body of your car, i drove around with a lowered stock body for a while and did fine. the razzi kit doesn not sit much lower then the stockers, but the AAS kit is a whole other story.
but yea aside from the potholes, the incline on the parking lots/driveways here in new york are rediculous so i wouldnt get the AAS lol i only got it cause i bought it used for cheap.

Yea I was leaning towards the razzi just b/c of the road conditions here. I'm kindof debating on lowering this summer, I'll have to see how the car looks with just 18s on it.
