if you have a bad *** bodyshop guy who will take the time to re-form the kit to your car...get it as long as its a good deal. if its just fiberglass...if you hit something...its going to crack.

if you are interested in a brand new version select kit...let me know. i have one sitting in irving.

either way...good luck to ya!

i read nightmares about the paint not adhering well to fiber glass, you are bound to get stress cracks in the paint with fiber glass. not worth it man. i know you like to go for the "buget" items but sometimes it better for your "budget" in the long run if you do it right the first time.
