They had to use filler and mold some of the pieces of the kit that cracked so now it has to be painted on the car. Hopefully it will be done Thursday before I leave for California, but if its not, I will have it back on Monday. I took some preview pics that I will post when I get home.

Get pics as soon as you can!

I like the lip. I'm not sure that I like skirts on any car. I dont like the nismo wings. But your car should look great after it's painted

UPDATE:

Went back down there today to pick the car up. Paint looked good, but there was a primered patch on the rear hatch and scratches all over the hatch as well. I don't remember them being there when I saw it after the body kit was fitted, but its there now. So needless to say the car is still there and they are going to re-paint the whole hatch at no cost. Oh, and we can't find my plastic panel that goes on the inside of the hatch. The owner handled the situation pretty well so I didn't get too mad. I guess he fired 3 people over the weekend because they kept screwing up. Heres the updated pics...

You'll learn to never go in parking lots and turn into everything at a 45 degree angle, at .05 mph. I'd recommend some 2x8 boards for the trailer...

Yeah I just had them use their paint for an extra $50. I still want the other paint though. I will probably need it to re-paint my front lip every two weeks lol.

Ok, car is back and it looks good. They do good work, but I am still a little iffy on their buisness practices.

I found a way to get it into my garage without scratching the lip, but it is a pain in the ***. I have to back it up onto my driveway at about a 45 degree angle. According to Kelli I have about 1/4" between the ground and my front lip before the last front wheel gets up on the curb. Now I just have to figure out the right layout of 2x4s to get it up on the trailer without scratching the lip. Oh and I am hoping that the driveway thing will still work when I have my racing wheels on it which are 18" as opposed to 19".
