Just picked my RS kit up today. Not pleased. I guess you get what you pay for. After 2 mths and $200.00 extras in custom/port fees, I should have left the kit where it was. Broken corners,foglights and thin fiberglass....the deal was a wash. Money down the drain. Don't know if I will try to install it or not.

Replica kits are not simple bolt on kits. They require professional work/shaping and installation by a good body shop.

I know you're frustrated, but take it to a body shop first. They can work wonders.

smalldog

It's not the fitment...It's the fact that I had to pay hidden charges plus the fiberglass is very thin and it's damaged. Paid for foglights and their broken....

Josh K

eeeesh, that does suck. Sorry to hear that man. On the upside, fiberglass is very easily repaired and strengthened. For foglights, you can pick up ones like mine from pep boys for about 60 bucks and they're made by Hella.

Did you purchase the kit from Felix?

Quick

Not true, ive installed a few replicas and they fit great and the material is better than that of the original company.

Josh K

What's funny is that the RS replica does fit better than the real kit. (I've seen real CM60 RS's up close at car shows). ;0)

mtimmy

yeah I am also curious where did you purchased your kit from., because I am looking in to some now.,

Josh K

I purchased my kit from the same retailer. I did, however, have quite a bit of body work done to make the kit fit perfectly.

Smalldog, Hi five to you man. Got my RS kit for $1200 and it all come broken when it reached my house. Got another rieger bodykit for the same price.

mtimmy

Damn., thats really bad

clkal

make sure you bring it to a reputable body shop because they will need to modify the heck out of it to make it fit on your car. If you have any questions, just e=mail me. I went through hell when i bought my kit........

smalldog

Took a long time to think about the kit. I found a body shop that is willing to give it a shot. Hell what I gota loose but more $$$$$$$. For those who wanted to know where I ordered the kit from just look at my passed posts. I will check back to keep everyone informed.

mtimmy

Hey I just can't where you ordered from.,, can you give me a hint?

Man Felix sold you the kit?? Hes a good guy, why would he sell you such a ****ty kit???? Thats wierd, hope all goes well for your car man!

mtimmy

Felix is a good guy., but the shipping company he use isn't.

smalldog

Still working on the kit. The custom shop owner says the fiberglass is so thin he's going to figure out a way to reinforce the kit. I will have to post pics of the kit so you guys can see what I'm talking about. Depending on the cost I may look into another type kit. ( save money for the real deal lorinser dtm ).

mmgrad

the DTM is a little pricier, but its much easier to get installed, at least through my experience with it... good luck

SoCalCLK

Good luck, buddy. And enjoy once the kit is on. Get a car wash and take some pics!
