Default "newstyle" bodykit fitment problems!!!!

I bought the kit last year for my 97 tibb from sharkracing and I am now in the process of having it installed. The guy doing the work gives me a call and says that the front bumper and side skirts are so far off that it's like the kit isn't even made for the car. This question goes out to anyone that has the kit or has experience with the kit. How did you get the pieces to fit? and Did you run into problems as well? I live in upstate, NY if anyone can recommend a bodyshop.~Hint to Josh~

Thnx,
Dusty

Not too sure about the skirts, but when we helped a local member put on her front bumper, we had to cut the front black rebar. It was reduced to like 1/2 the width (thick)
Random will know what I mean.

Also some of the wheel well plastic needs to be cut too!
There is some "custom fitting" that needs to be done. The front bumper is not just a "bolt on"
Good luck! But if we could do it, the shop should be able to do it too.

She didn't order the skirts so I couldn't help ya there.

Hey man...if you have a kit, I could probably hook you up with installing it. Send me an email, and let me know what's up.


BTW...for that being your first post...how do you know me? dunno

Here's the thing. I had a look at the kit that was sent and it is indeed the wrong one for the tiburons. I talked to SR yesterday and they said that they probably sent me a kit for the Mitsubishi Mirage in accident because they look the same but have different dimensions. I'm in the process of sending this kit back and getting the right one shipped to me. Hopefully everything works out and I get the kit ASAP. Anyway thanks for the help, and Josh I don't know you personally, but I E-mailed you last summer cause I read that you in the area of Charlotte, NY. I don't post much, but I look at the boards whenever I have a chance. sorry for the confusion, thanks for the help.
