Guess what rolls into the shop the other day,.... smile.gif

Yeah, the only Zekon kit in the city, I've seen it a few times, cruising around, but never got a up close look at it.
But after I did, I'm not very impressed.
Talk about fitment issues,... I mean yeah, some of it is the shop that put it on, the paint job's disgusting, parts of it look like they missed the clear coat


But I mean really,... check these out:
:roll: :x
The rear bumper DOES NOT line up at all!

Look at where the lights line up, or should I say don't line up.
Also, even the eurolights don't line up, Java, how did yours line up?
I was thinking of gettting some, but after seeing this, forget it!



Check out the front bumper:



As for the shop, I have no idea, WTF you'd use screws to hold the skirts on for,... no not at the ends, but RIGHT ON THE INSIDE shock.gif


And dunno what the deal, with what looks like silcone on the skirts is all about:

Alright, enough of my rant....
You'd be the judge
Not very impressed.
If any one wants larger, higher res pix, lemme know, I'll email them

wow. those are REALLY bad...

nightshark's (i hope) doesn't look like this. it seems like when they mass produced these, they sorta FORGOT how to line things up.

very bad kit. thus the $400 price, i guess

Holy crap. I have a Zekon kit and I thought it was TERRIBLE. Well, count your blessings because that one makes mine look legit. A very poor paint job to boot. All praise Maaco now? Lol. No way.

That's what I'm starting to think
I didn't get a chance to talk to him before he left.

Oh yeah, incase anyone was wondering, he came in to get his injectors cleaned,.. not sure why but that's all.

Well my front bumper does resemble that one. I was thinking of pushing the lights out with washer behind the bolts. Anyone have any other ideas of how to fill the gap? (It's not anywhere near close to the pic though)

Outta curiosity,... is your front bumper cut / shaped the same as it is onto here:

Where it's almost cut / notched out flat / straight on the Passenger side top?
