Jaymie and Nir, how are the panel lines? I saw a few of these kits at SEMA and some of the lines didn't fit well and the paint on the surface revealed some whirls in the kit panels. That was my biggest concern about putting on the kit. Jaymie, your ride is awsome, never thought I'd like a red car but I think it fits your image very well.
The link to the shop says they are cleaning up the lines... just wondering what you thought about the before and the after.
Thanks!

, kits never fit perfect alot of time was put into this about a good month + 1 week for extra attention to detail, i honestly never seen a body shop so attention to detail and so nice to everyone that comes thru .. if u ever stop by ranz dont get thrown off by there crazy thugish looks haha but these guys get down on yer car till 4-6 am almost nightly ! Randy is such a perfectionist , you wont be unsatisfied , money well spent! heres a few pics !

The lines will never be like factory for sure, but with the right body shop they can clean them up. That said if you seek perfection, this is not for you. I think the right body shop is almost as important as the kit itself. Paint looked good to me.

Thanks for the candid remarks on the kit. Looks very very nice... almost empted to go buy another SL just to mod it... But will probably hold out for the SLC when it comes out.
Jaymie, what audio upgrade did you do? do you have the problem with adjusting the clock?

Everything looks great Jami! but how bout redoin those exhaust tips? Everythings so perfect on ur SL those tips don't do ALL the extra work or the beautiful MishaDesigns bodywork justice (i kno they came w/the car but were merely a bandaid to get the car on the road to the Goldrush event when it was gold wrapped, Misha never meant for those awful tips to be permenant) I can send u links to where i bought mine or hook u up w/my exhaust shop, they do fantastic fabrication work @ extremely reasonable rates)
