I have the widebody kit. I was the one the featured the kit on in HCI. I also witnessed the install from beginning to the end. From riviting to bondo-ing to finish to paint. It took in whole about a good 3 weeks. It's nothing you want rushed. Many people say, just rush it, but it's not a good idea. Remember, they're gonna have to basically repaint 1/2 your car. so if you rush them, the paint won't come out nice. nor will the quality of the molding of the kit. So my suggestion is to just wait till you got more time. no point in rushing anything you do. let me know how everything turns out. Good Luck.

do the wide body. Tell them to take their time and if worst comes to worst, catch up at the next NOPI stop.

which wide body kit do you have, how much, and how much for the install and paint?

This is an actual kit not custom like yours.
