bodykit work?

i have a ms replica made of urethane and the fit is perty good... i have heard people say u can take kits to body shops to make them fit better? i was wondring what exactly do bodyshops do to make them fit better? and NO i will not get the real thing becuz i already have this one and 1500 buks for a bumper is outrageous
(i already know someone will say that)

My autobahn had some gaps on the side. I had them fill it with body to seal them up to fit like oem then had it painted. That was $600 only because i knew the guy. Since you say your kit fits pretty good i don't think you will have a huge cost behind getting it painted and fitted but there are many people who has exceeded 1500 just trying to get a replica to fit. Good luck dude.

^yeah...but what a sweet sig! That turned out great.

I would just make sure you go to a body shop you can trust. Replica kits can be worth the money if the kit's good. I agree that $1500 for a bumper is a little crazy. Good luck and post pics when it's done!
