all fiberglass kits especially knock offs takes a good amount of fitting. Plus you are getting a wide body so teh work will be even more.

If you're worried about fitment issues, don't buy Buddy Club 2. I purchased a front bumper from them and it was a piece of $hit. I spent close to 35 hours adding fiberglass and filler to get the thing to fit halfway descent. It looks ok now but if I would have had a body shop do the work, it would have cost me $2000+.....

I've attached a picture of my car.....I like the look of the Buddy Club 2 front but the quality of the piece is next to zero....

Extreme Dimensions is to body kits as American Racing is to rims

In the bodykit market, like many others... you really do get what you pay for.

Some things you can get away with by going to the less expensive alternative, but bodykits are not one of them. It costs a lot of money UP FRONT to make good molds. The only way you can cut down on mold costs is by cutting corners.

Then again there are some over priced parts out there that still don't fit well...

Also, it is not true that ALL fiberglass kits require work to get it to fit. It seems like that because many of the low budget kits are low grade FRP. Yes, like carbon fiber there are many different quality levels for FRP.
