the initial d kit is a replica of the ing's kit. got it from www.i-m-racing.com , it was predrilled,so there was no guess work involved, had to remove a few things to make it fit exact, all in all, im excited and cant wait to see the finished product

please, whatever you do, do not drive around with it like that until you get it painted. the kit looks good, don't get me wrong, but people that drive around with unpainted kits drive me nuts.

i already have some blingin wheels, 19x10 3in lipand 19x8 2in lip,
roja 7's, awesome rims, just waiting till all the body work is done b4 i put them back on.

the side skirts were not all that bad to take off, just have to be carefull and pull slowly on each ends.

Hey-
is that the kit with or without prep work? in the pictures the fitment looks really sweet.

its predrilled , you will still need to put it on and see where you need to make some changes, it comes gel'd, a body shop will still want to sand it out and look for pits in the fiberglass, i found 2-3 of them that were covered up with the gel finish,

also ,found out tnite, ground clearance is harsh,sits low
