and thats why i PREFER for our shop to prepaint kits because we test fit prior to shipping if its a prepainted part. and pricing stays the same no matter how much prep work is needed. i have every possssible 350z stock color mixed and ready.

my paint matches have been known to be 100% even without blending.

just giving you guys a heads up so you know the backbone of what i do and what i offer

Yeah I knew there was potential for issues ahead of time, as it was a replica after all. Just found it surprising the hassle I had to go through when problems came up. Suppose that's how it is though. Yeah they didn't mention anything about the fitment issues on this kit at all. In fact when I mentioned a problem, they seemed surprised and said this was one of their kits that never really had problems I also saw a customer pic in their old thread where someone had ordered the sides and described it as near perfect fitment.

Damn pete, wish I had went with you guys in the first place. That's good to know about you guys test fitting. I'll keep that in mind for next time. I honestly was considering you or them at the time, but CRG had this nice shipping deal and the kit prices were about the same so I figured I'd save a bit on the shipping money... god what a noob move

Thanks Jim^^,
Alex.
