Painting the bodykit without pre-fitting on a car
I didn't really have time to check fitment of my vizage side skirts and rear underskirt. I did search for the posts and most people say it's very good.
Should I just trust the Internet or IT IS rule of thumb to always pre-fit damn bodykits?
Let me know guys!

i would prefit...it would be a big mistake imo to paint without doing that....could end up costing you more money and time...i would take the proper steps.....btw the internet is alway going to say "perfect fitment" the retailers for the most part dont really care...its sales...any ways im trailing off...pre fit

always try to fit body kits before paint. its just plain stupid imo to do that because if it doesnt fit, your gonna have to possibly do some repainting. but if its authentic like buble said i wouldnt worry about it, i didnt fit my vertex half kit before paint lol. but it was authentic and vertex was known to fit flawlessly, i did fit the front lip tho.

Front is a INGS replica and this one I'm gonna prefit 100 % before painting.
BTW: Is there any chance to remove OEM sides and things at the rear without removing the wheels?

yea dont worry, the wheels wont get in ur way. If the front is an igs lip.... definitely fit it! those things are known to have very sketchy fitment. id do the sides and rear anyhow, the bumpers are not difficult to remove. and ive taken all my bumpers off without taking off my wheels b4. GL :]
