<< factory shiat will obviously fit the best >>



.....true.....true.....................and it will also be the best match for you paint (unless you're in favor of polychromatic exteriors).

the oem kit is the best fitting...but it is not that exotic or nething it is just a front lip spoiler...if your looking for some thing that is awesome and durable.....go w/ Tsunami or Kamanari...those kits are made out of Poly Urethane...Tsunami doesnt have a whole kit yet but it will soon....Painting is REALLY expensive if you dont know anyone in the Body Shop buisness i suggested u make some new friends before you buy your kiT! Painting is just as much as the kit so whatever kit you buy double that for paint..PLUS INSTALL!!! AAAHHHh

it is a given that the OEM fill fit the best and precise...but if u are looking for aftermarket shiet you can make anything fit if you have the right shop and the right eople to do.. fiber glass kits are the easiest to modify but personally my kit is polyurethane,...fiber glass is a pain it'll break shatter blah blah and polyurethane is more plaible and durable... but the prefitting is horrible since th epolyurethane gets warped in certain temperatures...but i would say go for the PU

I totally agree. I have a poly urethane kit..and I've seen what a pain in the *** Fiberglass can be to repair and paint, etc. Of course the OEM kit is the best fit...but polyurethan can be made to fit...secret? Use a little heat gun [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Hmm... but won't that damage the paint? Or are you heating it before you put it on? I've never had a body kit (yet!)
