Custom Fit Rear Fascia Question

Ok so I have a 2+2 model. I found an awesome looking wide body claiming they are the only ones who make it. Site says for coupe only. I emailed them and they said it can be easily modified to fit the 2+2.

Well after doing some research I find that the only thing custom to the kit is the rear bumper. At least that's the only part of the kit I can't find elsewhere.

While doing my research I find that the side skirts and rear fender flares are made for the 2+2.

Here is the list of the kit.

Strosek Single Vented Sideskirts and Fender Flares
Stillen GTZ-R II Front Bumper
Then this rear bumper.



Question is, how hard is it to fit this to a 2+2 model? I know that the sides have to be extended some. Would a body shop be able to do this easily?

I have a feeling it would be pretty difficult to extend the sides of the bumper to fit the 2+2 by the looks of it, unless you're fine with a ton of body filler on your car.

That's what I'm afraid of. Having a lot of body filler then it cracking at the first weather change.

From what I have been told is that a good body tech can cut part of the factory bumper and mold it in so there wouldn't be much body filler used. I just don't know how reliable this would be.

From what I understand it's only a couple of inches to be extended. I know some of the difference (2+2 vs 2+0) is between the door and rear fender well, and then the rest is the bumper as far as body kits go.
