the side skirts dont fit flush inside with the body, the look awfull when you open the door. and if you try to get them flush the fiberglass will crack. also the ends dont line up being that the skirts arent long enough, and last they have a large gap outside between the body and the upper sides of the skirt. if anyone is intrested in the skirts i will sell them for a cheap price. i will post a close up pic later on so you guys can see what im talking about.

Zred,

I know this post is about your kit, but I had a few questions about your System inside. Are your subs 10s or 12s? also Do you get much raddel? also did you dynomat if so how much did you use and where was it most needed?

I also got the replica kit. If i knew the fitment is this bad, I won't buy it. If you guys thinking about getting the replica kit, think twice about it. Need lots of work to be done with the kit. I paid about $900 to get it painted and installed. It was supposed to be cheaper but since the fitment is bad take lots of work to get it fit right. The front bumper is a nightmare.

That sucks about the fitment....looks good otherwise. Maybe you might think about clear bumper reflectors??

Just curious, where did you guys get your replica kit from. I am thinking about buying one, but I don't want to deal with bad fitment, so please let me know. Thank you

i just got of the phone with the company in canada name kc auto which is the manufacture of all these kits and also sells them to bavaria, so whoever you buy it from its coming from them. they told me that all there kits are 100 perfect fit, and that it was me that messed it up, and that they werent able to help me out at all or even send me a new one to exchange. so what i did, i called my credit card company and filed a claim and now they wont be getting paid for being as------. my advice to anyone here is to wait for the real nismo kit and not buy anything from these companies in canada. at the end, youll end up paying with all the work needed on these kits what a real nismo costs..

WEll,.I got mine from KC AERO as well--Not Bavaria which your right--gets them from KC...and spoke w/ Mike Personally---I be damned--He better take back my ****!!!! I guess I'll see whats up w/ the sides once I get em,.and the wing should be no prob---but I will be returning that Peice of **** front bumper!!!
It dosen't fit for ****--Plus--its chipped on the corners so theres no way to fix it but get a new one anyway---so If I have to send it back to get a new one---then might as well get my damn money back! I only payed $230 for my front bumper..so that will go towards my NISMO bumper.

Thanx for the info--dying to see pic's before I start the test fit on my sides once they arrive!

DAMN~~Ur Ride is Dope....
The HRE rims and NISMO kit just blend themselves perfectly.
I didn't like HRE's b4 but perhaps I should change my taste
Red, HRE rims, NISMO kit make great combination.
I wonder how they are gonna look like on super black?
Just wanna get some clue for the direction of my ride's exterior tuning

P.S: Is that front grill naturally comes with NISMO kit? or u did the custom job to finish it like that? I like it..
