We should get together and take some pics, & I would love to hear that comptech exhaust in person.
There's a few members that post from Miami, keep a look out for a meet that I will try to set up soon!

Here are some pics of the fit problem:
The top left skirt piece just will not stay in, going to ask Rondy about using some kind of glue.
Next pic is with the driver's side headlight gap- cover is all the way up on the left, and the right head light gap is perfect.
Pics of the raw kit anomalies:
This next pic showed where they sanded the edge at at 45 angle not straight. These pics were all taken as the kit was removed from the factory shipping box.

It was fixable, my body guy said a kit that expensive should not have had that much work to fix. Rondy's answer to my left skirt problem is to use a glue gun ( ), or silicone and masking tape for 24 hours, sometimes the 2 sided tape is not strong enough, and here's the kicker- the body shop was too lazy to properly fit the kit!
This body shop has done all my custom work and it turned out better than factory. So just remember "caveat emptor"!

Kit in raw poly was $1700 shipped, and the prep paint and install was another $800. So total was $2500 ( That also included painting the engine covers! ). I also had a wing spoiler put on for $125 ( the spoiler prepainted was like $150). So total kit and spoiler installed $2750 ish. Another $50 to paint the front grill and the trunk trim piece. Total $2800 for the "Queen of Darkness". Next is the black w/polished rims and a drop, and the Progressive RSB. Then I'm done till either the Greddy exhaust is ready and/or my brakes wear down and then Powerslot rotors w/Hawk pads and SS lines.

Those are all common things with urethane kits, I've seen many kits like that from many different manufacturers, and on top of that, We have many kits that all came from the same mold and fit perfectly, so just becaseu your right headlight doesn't line up with the bumper, doesn't mean everybodies same side will not either. Also, I can argue that the installation was not adjusted properlly, we've had some customers install the kit at one shop with poor results, then another shop does a spectacular job simply adjusting it...

All I said was that the WDP kit pictured looked like one of the early run kits. As you explained to me, after 100 kits the molds are freshened up, and that maybe my kit was towards the end. I personally watched them fit the pieces the second time and there is no more adjustment. You stated you saw no problems with any pics I e-mailed you, nor did you bother to attempt to come and look at the kit. I told you I took a week off to get the kit fitted and you said I could possibly send it back. Some of us don't have the time or money to due that. You and I worked out an answer. But I definatley know of, and have seen pics, of another kit that has different fitment issues other than mine. I love the look of my kit, I just wish that for the money, the kit didn't need as much extra work to look good. This is my experience, others may have different issues or none at all. I was just answering another AZ'ers questions. I'm still very proud of my car, and I would love to make it to your next RJ only car show.
