Ordered my kit today

whoooooooooohoooooo!! I ordered the octane kit in fiberglass and I can't wait to get it. Does anyone have the octane kit in fiberglass and how well did it fit?? I talked to the guy i ordered it from and he said they fit really well. not like the erebuni kits do. cause erebuni kits are always twisted and stuff. has anyone had that problem with the octane kit? I'm not having the kit installed till apr 11th cause I won't have the cash to get it painted the right way till then. I'm really lookin forward to it that's for sure.

The body shop thats doing my kit said that most of the time they always have to do something to fiberglass kits to get them to fit right. I take my car in on monday to get my kaminari lip kit and altezza grill painted and installed. Have you gotten any quotes as to how much it would be to get painted/installed?

Here's my opinion due to some bad experience with fiberglass body kit ( octane ) :
I installed Vis Racing Octane body kit on a friend's 7Th gen civic after having it purchased on a local shop who sell Vis Racing products and I have to say that this kit that we tried at this time was like not made for the car... It really was for the 7th Gen civic as we can saw it but when trying to put it on the car....there was nothing that came at the right place.... the sides skirts were 4'' too long...Yeahh really... so my friend ordered a Xenon body kit instead of paying the shop to have it modified to fit the 7th gen civic....there's a difference in price between eurethane and fiberglass but when you include the price of fitting to the fiberglass it is moore expensivethen buying eurethane!!!!! Sorry to tell you that but it was my experience with Octane body kit for the 7th Gen civic!!!

I haven't got a quote to get it installed yet. Rider do you think i should go with the xenon kit instead of the octane then?? I'm confused. I really like the octane kit and I really like the xenon kit i would get either one. I just ordered the octane kit cause I got a good shot of the rear and almost pooped my pants. My friends shop is gonna install it for me as far as that goes. I think i'll be the only white octane kit or xenon for that matter
