actually i was never able to get the GB togeather, there were alot of people who wanted it, but werent able to pay at that time for it, if i remember right the GB would have brought the cost down to 300 instead of its original 400 (with 8 people).

i however lucked out and bought it off manny for an incredable 200 bucks. i have it in my garage and it looks incredable, cant wait for good weather to install it, if youd like i can link you to some pics i have of it.

it does have its problems though, the fit around the headlights is supposedly not the greatest and needs a little refiberglassing. the kit is surprisingly thin even for a fiberglass bodykit, i will need to reinforce it with tigerfur. and lastly the lip goes all the way back to the wheelwell causing it to lay ontop of the fender. this leaves you 2 options, cut the wheelwell and mold the kit on, or overlay it on the wheelwell as is and figure out a way for it not to mess up the paint on the fender IE pad it with a rubber or something... im opting for #2 because unfortunatly i lack a winter car, and i dont want to drive with the kit on through the snow up here in MI.

this kit is well worth the money however, i love the look of it. OH and also you need to buy supra style turnsignals to fit the side vents, theyre about 40 bucks off procarparts.com

any good bodyshop that specializes with fiberglass should make it fit reasonably well, no doubt its going to run a little higher on the installation bill however. i will be able to give exact #s this march on cost and what EXACTLY will be done on mine.
