The kit is pretty much bolt on. No fitment issues. There are alot of imperfections that need to be taken care of, but nothing major. Have the shop that puts it on be careful with the corners of the side skirts especially the top corner on the back of each (your next to last pic). They have a tendency to crack when the skirts get screwed in. Also on the skirts make sure they urethane themon. Same stuff they use on windshields. That's the only way they should be put on. And lastly on the side skirts make sure the paint the fenders black first before the attach the skirts. Friggin crackheads that did mine didn't and I had red showing throught the vents. The did it after and it looks ok from afar, but up close is not so good.
Most importantly plan on putting some money aside for yearly up keep on the paint because you will friggin obsess about every little nick and scratch once you put the kit on.
Oh and I just noticed that you've got your car lowered. Good luck with that. The front clip on mine with stock suspension and 17" 50 series tires, sits about 4 inches off the ground. Stay away from curbs and be super careful when you park and pull into places with dips because you WILL hit the ground. Also make sure that when you take it to a garage that requires it to go on a lift that it will clear first. Not all places will!!!
Just a few things to make you even more paranoid once you get it installed 02.gif
But you'll love the finished product-

and then he's just getting nasty

do you have that remus muffler on? if so how does it sound? i've always wanted the remus dual tip... perhaps if you know a dealer or something you could export some of them to the U.S.
