After a lot of decision making on time and money spent, I've ended up finally getting the kit on the car. Overall, I'm really happy with it.
A friend and I spent around 12 hours putting the kit on saturday. It was relatively easy to get on, with some drilling, and some good ol' fashioned elbow grease. Wiring up the LED plate lights definitely slowed things down. I'm used to driving a lowered car, but with the kit on, it's a whole new ball game. Within 12 hours, I already slightly scraped a side skirt on a parking ramp speed bump (grrr). Completely invisible scrapes though. I'm currently working on the spoiler (facing the decision on if I want to keep the stock spoiler that I really like, or go with the cuda spoiler (that's already painted) that's different than everyone else around, that I also like, just not as much). Fog lights and exhaust are next on the agenda. I also gotta find some meshing that's similar to the plastic mesh on the rest of the kit, to put on the rear bumper. Anyone know where I can find some? (not gutter mesh please). Anyway, here's the current car.

Looking real good! I'd say go for the cuda spoiler, it sill looks good and it'd be more unique.
Btw, could you get some night shots of your head lights? I'd like to see how it looks.

I hate the look of the Cuda spoiler. Reminds me of a cavalier. ewww.
I really like the kit, the car looks really luxurious with the angel eyes and that new front end. Love the rims too man.
Awesome!!

very nice..
what did you do to your tails? if you put vinyl and can reverse the process, i would use orange vinyl on the white part of the tails instead of red. I think it would look cool especially with your car since you're into the whole orange thing.. Plus it would look very unique cause it doesnt come stock with amber on it in the first place.
