:x Hey just to let everyone know the Cuda II kit doesn't fit all that well. I even expected to have problems but they where worse than i imagined.
After having the kit for a couple of months i finally had a nice day without rain(in Seattle) and put the rear of the kit on and it sits on there okay but the license plate light cutouts are not even close and the taillights have major trouble going in.
After the back bumper problems i just took it to a couple of bodyshops and the one wants 2500 dollars to put it on and fit it....thats to get all the wavy look out of the finish. They will do it for 1500 just to get it to look okay.
Didn't even imagine that it would cost that much. :x
Thought i would let everyone know. I will have pictures up in a couple of weeks after all the bugs get worked out and it gets painted
Thanks
JD

We heard about the wavy stuff and the taillight/licence problem at HA.com awhile back and SR's lying asses said they'd fix the problem.

Hey The_Alpha_Male
I probably wouldn't recommend it again....it was my favorite kit when it was the MPS and after having it now... its just not worth it because of the price to get it fixed
If you want to check it out before it gets fixed just let me know

welcome to the wonderfull world of SharkRacing products and customer service...........I had similar issues and ended up bitting the bullet and paying out the money to get my kit properly fitted and finished.......ended up almost doubling the cost of the kit......thank god i have sponsorship with my body shop , they gave me a great price.
Just a side note .....I contaced the BBB when i did not receive all the parts of my kit only to find out that SharkRacing has numerous complaints through them, the BBB really cant help you get your product fixed or money off ....try complaing to your credit card company and put a stop payment on the charge if you can till it all gets settled......I ended up calling the korea offices and finally got everything i need about a year later...
The korea offices have much better customer service than the USA offes do.
