Sorry, haven’t really been posting. I have been extremely busy these past weeks but heres an update:
Rear Flares: Got them installed by a local body shop. We chose to use 3M double sided tape plus adhesive to bond to the body. Process only took a full work day. I picked up my car at the end of day before they closed and I am very happy with the results. I was worried about the driver side flare because it had a huge gap between the body and where it meets with the rear bumper, but they managed to close it. Not fully, but far better than what it was at test fitting. Its been a week full of driving and no issues.
Rear Bumper: Holy, this thing really tested us. It was so hard to install I really didnt think it was going to fit because it kept looking like it was short but you just really have to use your strength to get that thing on. It took two of us to install it but next time I would use three. The driver side is not sitting flush but when I get time I will work it to get it to sit flush.
Front Bumper: After modifying it a bit it is on. Still not what I was hoping for but it manages. I’m still working on it, so hopefully it comes out much better.

Looks pretty good
Is that a vinyl wrap? Makes sense that you wrap all the panels while they’re off the car, then install. Must save a ton of time and $.
Now that you’re almost done, would you say it’s 100% bolt on besides the rear flares? I saw the pics above of the rear flare modification but couldn’t tell what was going on. Are the flares solid or something?
I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger on this.... more pics please thanks

Yes, I do vinyl wraps for a living so it saved A LOT OF $$$ lol.
The underside of the rear flares are solid. I was just showing that you could cut the underside if needed be for bigger tires to fit in. I'm currently running 295/30/19 with an ET14 on my wheels in the rear and have no issues only a bit of rubbing in high speed bumps but it doesn't happen all the time. For the kit, everything except the rear flares and the rocker panels were all bolt on.
Let me tell you this kit and wrap alone have already got me some serious business for my company and it's not even finished yet. So happy I made the plunge, but just wish the company I purchased from gave me a better experience.
