Octane Ground Effects

I bought a set of ground effects from Wholesalehyperformance.Com and they were the worst buy ever. The Octane kit looked sweet in the pics but it is a load of work to get your car to look like it. They dont fit right and the fiberglass mold is terrible. It took me 7 hours to try to fix it before i said screw it and took ot to a body shop. Dont buy the Octane kit its not worth it. Please give me some suggestions on other kits that look good and fit right.

ouch, sorry to hear that

the best fitting kit is, obviously, the OEM. you could also try some of the poly kits, like xenon, wings west, kaminari, maybe even the urethane octane

HandMade body kits are MADE BY HAND! so fit wont be exact. if you want a PERFECT fit, you have to go with machine made kits, which in this case is OEM kits. an OEM kit should be easy to install by a DIYer, but other kits should probably be installed by shops to get the best look.
