Default Body kit doesn't fit right

My body kit doesn't exactly fit correctly, there are some gaps there and I want to fix them before I paint my car. Does anyone know how I could make it fit right, I heard you use a heat gun or something. I can get picts if you need them. Thanks.

What kit did you buy that doesn't fit right? Do they not guarantee fit?

Stop buying this stuff man. It's not worth the headache.

You can add more mat/resin, rebondo, sand, and primer to fill the gaps.

To me, it's not worth saving $100 or so to get a kit that doesn't fit. Just my opinion...

What kit did you buy and from who? I also did buy a kit off ebay from Allstarkits. I bought this one: TRACER Front Bumper

Just the bumper though because I ripped mine off trying to put my car on a couple lifts Neway lets see some pics. Did you buy a full body kit or just certain pieces?

Ya I tried to keep it stylish but also want a stock look. I don't want to much attention just enough to make people say "that looks nice"
