The best of my knowledge i think that fiberglass does not bend... it cracks:'( . Thats why you see all those fiberglass kits on the streets all cracked from bottoming out or scrapping. Try to pm others who have the bc3 kit. I want to see some pics when you get that shit on.:cool: :)

Heres the deal if you don't know what your doing, body work to include installation of a kit IS NOT a DIY. I feel you on tryin to save money, but in the long run more run 9 times outa 10 your gonna have a body guy do it any way.
As far as the fitment where did you get the kit? I have the buddy club kit on my EP and they went right on! You may want to call the company in which you purchaced. An inch difference is pretty bad. So i recomend that you call the company then go to a body guy. hope that helps.~AJ

ok guys just right now....i removed the plastic fender from the front and tried fitting them again....its actuallly possible its like a tightttt asssss fit but its possible its like a couple centimeters.........its sorta scary forcing em' but ill take it too the profressionals....the back part doesnt stay flushed against the body but double sided tape will do the trick hopefully....TIGHT ASSS FIT BUT DONT WORRY FOR UR GUYS THAT ORDERED THEM....
