dude, body kits are a bust let me tell ya. People who make them usually just throw them together and dont care about anything but getting that money. Best thing to do is buy from a very credible company or a dealer. stock items are usually high quality and fit with no problem.

c thats why i got shark racing cuz everyone said they were a good company i am gonna call them in the morning and see what they say, i think/hope there is a warrenty from them on this cuz i am kinda pissed off bout it

wow that sucks. i'm not much of a body guy but.... did they prep the kit right? another question too, why did it take so long for you to get your bodykit? that seems really long.

they didnt prep it good enough the prob just used scotch brite and painted it

also if its bubbling they have to re do it if its a decent shop thats an autherized dealer for say ppg paint mine bublled first time cuse all they did was scuff it with sbrite and primed 2 coats and painted 1 coat looked great for about a month but rocks hit it and it would crack and peal i complained enough and got my insurance company involved since they paid for it ( car had been hit ) and i had it repainted + all the lil areas that were crap sanding filled and fixed the correct way and its been 3+months now and it only has a few crackes from where i have had big *** bugs or lil rocks hit it but not pealing. They also prob didnt bake it before painting it to get rid of any air bubbles in it. just some info....

thats what i'm thinking too because one of my buddies got his corolla bodykit painted in a short period of time (fast prepping cause he needed the car back asap), and it came out pretty good at first. but shortly after the paint started bubbling because of the poor and fast prep work.

so now i know what not to have done what do i have done??

yo alex, you should go back to the body shop and ***** about the crappy half *** job they did b/c it's bubblin up and **** b/c they didn't prep it right and have them redo it. if they don't do anything about it, threaten to file a report w/ the better business bureau
