it would be impossible for showstoppers to prefit every single body kit they sell.

Just remember a few things:
1) cheap body kits are massed produced
2) fiberglass needs a little to a lot of work done depending on who made it, how many times the mold was used etc
3) every kit is different
4) showstoppers doesn't make these kits, they just sell them.

IF you buy JDM authentic body kits I can almost 100% assure you perfect fit. JDM body kits are not mass produced in quantities and are only made by order. Japan fiberglass body kits are lightweight and strong and the fit/finish are almost identicle to OEM stock.

You get what you pay for.

my buddy kit from showstoppers had a different front end from the original buddy kit and the side skirts needed work to fit properly. Any autobody shop can do it but it takes time to get it right. The rear fit perfectly, the front piece has a small gap at the sides and waves in the fiberglass at the very front. None of us noticed it until it was painted then the waves were pretty much apparent with black paint.
But the kit was good enough for me. I may buy the real BC sides later but at this time they look fine to me even though they still dont fit perfectly.

i had this kit. i hit a car doing 3mph and the bumper being fiber glass shattered everywhere. got a mugen lip on factory bumper now. also this kit requires you take off front and rear bumper supports. as well as a modded muffler to fit with the bumper. the front bumper is really sweet though while it lasted.

the kit doesn't fit perfectly.
i bought front bumper and side skirts from SSUSA.
the side skirts needed fiberglass work to properly fit.
the front bumper didn't fit at all.
