ouch. I guess they dont all originate from the same moldings and redistributed. The one I bought from Andy's Auto Sport was a near-perfect fit as shipped, and all the body shops I got paint estimates from were shocked at how little prep would be needed. Thanks for posting this for others to beware of who they source kits from.
For all the rest of you, let this show how important it is to test-fit your kit before painting.

wow! That's pretty bad. I can only imagine what you're going through right now - hopefully no bald spots from pulling at your hair yet.
Hope this turns out, but definately keep us posted.

What were they drinking when they set up the mold for that one. Not even close. Best of luck to you on this RoetherB.

your obvioulsy one of those people who are ok with saving a few buck and half assing the mods on the car. thats cool that you dont care that it looks like shit cause it saved you afew $$$$.
id never drive something with an ill fitting body kit on it like on your car no matter how much money i saved.
