Rep Power: 0 something similar like that happened to me,
i didn't even have my bodykit on for 24 hours yet,
my kit was still white not painted yet, i pulled up
to stop light going to make a right turn, my friend was
following behind me, a car was coming so slowed down
and BOOM he hit me from behind cracked my back bumper
on the right side and his whole front bumer which was fiber glass
broke into 5 pieces, he hit me like 5 mph, so he drove
home without his front bumper cuz it came off.
but is it fiber glass? if it is, i got mine molded back 2gether
before i got my car painted...

Rep Power: 0 Why would you put a body kit on if its not painted yet??? For one its gunna look ugly as hell, then its gunna get all dirty before you paint it, then you'll have to take it off and put it back on after its painted. I would not recommend doing that, if anything is rice, thats it!

Rep Power: 0 That happened to me when I was backing out my driveway. I got the BW style rear bumper but I ordered it about 3 weeks ago and it still hasnt been shipped yet.
