thanks man As for the sides not lining up... well there not perfect but not really that far off either, There is two main problems with it lining up. (1) The sideskirt isn't quite long enuf, at first I thought this to be only about a 1/2 inch difference but it is actually about 2 inches as you can see in the newest photos of the sideskirt (the open section on the back of the sideskirt, behind the scoop). (2) the angle of the scoop is slightly off.. the front top of the scoop section wants to point off away from the car instead of resting flush. A 3rd but minor problem was that on the front of the sideskirt it came over the door, If you compare the photo of just the sideskirt on either page 1 or 2 of this topic to the photos I posted last, you will see that there is some missing where the front of the door is, took about 3mins to fix this with a dremel diamond cutting disc. here is how I am currently addressing the 1st two problems: (1) as you can see from the photos I had to cut the sideskirt and move it over some, unseen in any of these photos is a mold I made prior to cutting of that section of the sideskirt. This way I will be able to make a 3 inch wide replica of that section that will be trimmed down and fitted into the open part and then glassed in and smoothed out so it appears like it never was cut. I orgionally thought to cut the sideskirt in the center, but decided against this as I wanted to keep the skirt as straight as possible and knew I would have to do alot of work already around the scoop section so figured I would do it there, I also wanted the scoop as far foward as possible.. closest to the front of the vehicle as I could, cutting behind the scoop allows me to do that, where cutting the center of the sideskirt would of moved the scoop farther back and in my opinion would of looked funny. (2) This is the harder of the two problems I have, I have to break the fiber glass to make it work here by cutting the scoop in places so It can bend to the shape of the car and fit flush, if you look at the top photo of the last 3 I posted you will see one of these breaks. Once I can move the top section around to make it sit as flush as possible I will tape/adheare it down and do small amounts of fiberglass on the outside to keep it in place, once that has hardened I will fiberglass the inside (unseen) part of the sideskirt for strength and will smooth down the outside to make it look smooth and show no signs of breaks. as for cutting of the fenders: I wont have to cut the fenders for any of this but am really leaning towards cutting the front of the fenders when I install the front. I want my front to remain modular (can be easily removed). I want to hook fastners to the inside of the fenders so you can just reach up there and unhook the sides of the front bumper and will do simialar things under the hood so the front can be removed in a matter of mins in case I need to tow the car or get it up a really steep incline as for the front grafting: Ya I will post on that when it comes to that.. doing the sides first so I can get the hieght of everything.. the sides dont really have alot of room for moving up and down and I want to get the kit as close to the same height all around as possible, and the best way to do that is to do the sides 1st and then match up the front and rear as I have more room to play on them. I also think the sides are going to be the hardest of the whole projects so... I'll get them outta the way 1st
