Hey James, looking good! What are you referring to when you say there is some prep work needed? Are you referring to the adjustments you need to make in terms of fitment or are you talking about you prepping the kit in terms of sanding it down yourself before taking it to the body shop for primer and paint?

I can take a picture of that if anyone would like to see. I am very please with it so far. Next step is to prep it, then have the body shop prime and paint.

What i mean when referring to prep work, is sanding the it down myself before taking it to the body shop. Fitment was awesome, just check the pictures out.

During my prep work, im going to in-fill the area were the lic. plate goes.

Yes they are a hybrid fiberglass. Wicth makes the bumbers flexable. The spoiler is a riged. I test fitted the spoiler yesterday and fits nicely ill be going back up to pick it up on friday. Nice thing about these bumbers is they use the sheets of fiber mats and hand laid.

Dunno probably around at least 1400+tax for non-group buy people.
Shine has assured us non-group buy people will pay more.

i ordered the vertex sides from them, and had a fitment issue with one of the sides, and ken sent me a replacement, free of charge/shipping within a week! Now both sides fit perfect. I would highly recommend them, ill be buying my other parts from them for sure.

Would you rather pay 3k for the same kit, fitment and quality wise? And also have to wait 3-4 months before you get it? I sure as hell dont. I think 1100 is just about right. Any more and i wouldn't get it.

For the real deal, the front bumber alone cost 1100. Since i was part of the group buy, i got the replica front for 375

I hope he makes a Top Secret FRP kit. It'd rock to switch between Central 20 & Top Secret.

Still waiting for Shine Auto to complete the production of the kit.

I'll let you guys know how the test fit turns out as soon as Shine can get this whole kit to me! I'm waiting just like you guys.

Hi, I was going to stop by friday but something came up. And then over the weekend was thinking about the spoiler. Have you guys ever have this feeling that you think like it but something in the back of your thoughts as like "im not sure about the look" Im kind of stuck with that thought of not sure is i like the look of the spoiler. But i did test fix it last wednesday and fit good. Tekkensux keep up updated. This week im going to do my prep work and infill the spot for the Lic plate.
