I been to the place where Josh had his done...

Even they said its real hard to do since its a replica... plus, Josh's kit was additionally complex because he has a hybrid bumper of the OEM & Carlsson replica....

If you want Josh's bodyshop info, send me a PM or email...

I have the same kit and plan on getting it put on this winter. My question is does anyone carry the a mesh screen for the front scoop area of the kit? I dont want to leave it open.

My recommendation would be having a shop that does a lot of aftermarket bodykits, most of those shops are mainly for import cars but they'll do it, they've done this a million times. The mesh can be purchased at most hardware or metal-supply stores.

The best place to get the mesh in so-cal is Industrial Metal Supply in Sun Valley. They have some nice perforated aluminum that is perfect.
