Teaser
Just a teaser...will have more pics shortly once the suspension, new taillights, tint is done. The kit took some work but I'm super happy with the outcome. Yes it's matte black and no I don't care if you don't like it.
Shaved the front and rear emblems for a smoother look...exhaust will be done this week....
Cheers

When its finished I'll post plenty.
It's been about a month worth of work. I didn't find the fit that bad to be honest. The biggest pain was the rear bumper passenger side where it bowed out and of course extending the side skirts. I made sure to add glass to some of the thinner spots and added support pieces under the taillights. The rest wasn't bad, between myself and my body guy the kit wasn't to much of a pain.
plus this isn't my first build, nor the first kit I've had to do work on to fit, that helps a bit as well lol
Mock up
My other money whore..just for the hell of it

Thanks gents, I can't wait till all the rest of it comes together. The interior has some special touches as well but still missing some of the biggest pieces.
I think there was a lot of misconceptions with this kits fitment. To be honest my pre runner conversation kit fit worse then this and that is a mass produced bed sides and fender, hood, grille set. Yea it could have been better, but I've seen a hell of a lot worse. When it's all set a proper shoot will take place, have to slow down on the $$$$ spending on it for a bit have a pool, etc to add to the house.

The car came with this style seats but they needed to be re done so I sent them to my buddy who does upholstery. He did a great job making them right and tweaking some of the issues the original owner never decided to, like them actually fitting properly lol
