Default Will Pre-painted kit fit right?

If i order a lip kit pre-painted, will it fit perfectly, or will it need some tweaking?...will the tweaking ruin the paint?...and do they test fit the kit before the paint and ship?

If it's the Veilside V1, you'll be fine getting it pre-painted. It goes right on and fits like a glove. I ordered mine elsewhere for a little less, but then had to go out and get it painted; only ended up saving like $25, so I'd have rather just ordered it painted. I test fitted before paint and it was perfect. It's a tight fit and easiest if you have a friend help to work both sides at once, but you'll need no tweaking.

Most higher end kits fit pretty snug with some tweeking. The Veilside V1 lip sits great on the OE bumper... Easy install with no worries of damaging the paint.
