can you give a little more details on what work? like cutting of the actual kit?

[IDM]

But if you fill th holes smooth would you be able to bolt on real MT pods later?
BTW, love these build threads Vlad.

Looks great so far. I like the way the doors look filled in.

yes, like cutting, making it fit, fabricating mounting hardware, etc..etc..

gonna be sick :up:

anyway, more pics from today -

trunk and the hood are painted





pass side side skirt is 75% there, still more work required



Eddie built me a little mounting tab to attach the side skirt to the body





bodywork continues on driver's side



driver's side skirt is getting banged to fit

It's a good thing you are a professional, competent bodyshop, like Ary suggests for his kit installs.

i don't understand how sourcing a real m-tech 2 kit would be harder and more expensive than having your body guys spend countless hours trying to get the junk knock-off kit to fit right.

including the decision to ditch the side pods altogether...the skirts look like they will stick out too far and not line up with the doors since they were designed to sit flush with the pods.

I like to go a different route ;)

different feels a lot like the shortcut route. :D

[speedblind]

I've been waiting for a professional, unbiased opinion of these kits. Looks like reality is pretty much in line with my expectations.

[jasonsnoddy]

I went thru so many resorations already, these cars look like pile of shit while you work on them, but then they become beauties at the end
