Default body kit fitment

is there a way to close up my imperfection in my bodykit without molding the kit? i was thinking of molding it until i had to take the sides off today just to do my brakes and it isnt even lowered yet, lol. i have some quite noticeable gaps i need done. i was thinking i might be able to cut and do my own glassing but it would be very hard to get a right fitment.

do you have any pics of where and how big the gap is, it looks fine to me in all of your pics.

i guess its just the front bumper really, the rest i can fix myself pretty easily but heres some pics of it. it cover a little bit of the headlights, and doesnt line up with the fenders the greatest.

good choice on the body kit.. I used to have the R34/Black Widow combo, too...

I'd say take it to a reputable body shop... unless you're absolutely amazing with bondo and fiberglass, I don't think there's really much you can do by yourself.

im pretty decent, i could mold it no problem, i just dont want to have to modify the bumpers lines too much. oh well, ill see how much a shop would charge me to do the quick fix, i dont feel up to the hassle that this bumper would cause me. as soon as i get this fixed the paint goes on so i want this over with, lol.

I had a problem with my sideskirt when i installed it because of the fitment... cutting is soo hard to do to be perfect and its not very professional to look at.. in the end i ended molding through the body. ill post some pix on my ride soon(i lost my usb cable!)

i would mold but the only problem is what i do when i need to load up to get an alignment or anything like that. my car would sit too low. but i might end up doing it beacause i cant find any other solutions

Well, I'm not sure what you could do with the headlights, but I'm thinking maybe do some fiberglass work to the fenders to get them to line up withthe kit.. it seems like that's where it's the worst
