I would think that any body kit is supposed to just fit right on without any modification.

Are you sure you purchased the correct year, model,and trim (ex: 2001 civic coupe ex)
the number of doors does tend to make a difference

Back when I had my kit, I just had to pull off the bumper, pull the impact foam, and the new bumper fit fine (as far as fiberglass goes)... are you sure it's hitting the frame and not something else?
