Fitment is darn good on the front and rear bumpers. The spoiler needs a tad bit of work, but not much. These kits ARE fiberglass, but they "flex" like urethane. I dunno how the shop that makes them does it. I'm guessing they will still "crack" like normal fiberglass when impacted fast/hard, but minor bumps, they flex. Very cool!
My exhaust was dropped in order to test fit the rear bumper without worrying about the fitment of the exhaust. It would have fit with a shorter exhaust hanger, but I didn't have any handy. If you get the kit, expect to have to fiddle with your exhaust or customize your exhaust to fit just right.

Man, that looks really good, much better looking than the 2nd gen Tiburon Cuda kit. I also really like the spoiler.
Edit, oh yeah, Random, it's late, go to sleep man.

What about the sides, man??
Sides are the same as the gen2 cuda. Can't take photos of them till I get my Zefiro side skirts off. That's in progress, but a different thread comming later...

Very nice. Bravo SR.
It's prolly the FRP stuff like I saw on the 2nd gen kit at SR's store in Anyang City. Stuff is almost like soft FG if it makes sence.
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic.
From what I hear, it uses more of a plastic base than resin.
Looks VERY good so far though. I likey.
