Finally my Carlsson RS kit installed!!
Well I just got back from the body shop earlier this morning and was ready to pick up my car. As I was checkin it out one of the workers came out to talk about what plans I had to do to the car and he asked to see the engine..well me I didn't mind so he popped up the hood and as I was still examining my kit and etc..I noticed that the brackets that goes around the headlights were scratched and knicked (about half an inch long on 3 brackets not to big but still bothered me)from the hood touching the brackets. I told the owner and he said he'll fix it since they just pre-fitted the kit and painted the front kit seperately they didn't realize that that would of caused a problem..anyhow I'm still satisfied as how it turned out, well worth the money I spent. My wheels and other mods are waiting in the garage for her to come home. Here are some teaser pics..this is just the beginning so enjoy

ABSOLUTELY NONE of the replica RS kits will go on perfectly. Even authentic Lorinser might need a little modification to fit perfectly.
I, personally, had a horrible, replica RS kit sent to me, and my car was in the shop over 30 days . The shop had to saw the front bumper in half cut away some sections, and fiberglass/resin it back together . The sideskirts were over 1.5" too narrow (up and down...not the length). The rear bumper was NOT a good fit....
there were too many things wrong with the kit for me to list......
but maybe now, the kits have gotten better.

Did you get your Kits from felix? What fog lights are the ones that fit correctly. I am thinking of getting one of the bumpers.... Would you guys do it over again or go with it considering all of the hassals?
