Talking FINALLY pics of my Shine auto kit!!!

Just got back my car yesterday and here are some pics of the shine auto kit i purchased, the front bumper is autoexe replica. Fitment was really good for a knockoff btw.

let me know what you think....



EDIT: Total cost of the kit (including parts, shipping, paint and labor) only cost about 1400..........Suck on that can go cheap and get great fitment

It did come with side marker fittings and they were the worst fitting issue about the kit, I got them to fit in place and when I went to talk to the guy at the body shop he said he could either fit them perfect and smooth without much trouble or just simply take them out and fill it in with fiberglass.

I just really like the idea of no sider markers




and I would love a drop but I live in Ky so there are a few spots that I would bottom out at

Yeah that is the problem with the replica. The corners don't fit at all. That's why I had to cut mine to fit a little better.

Definitely get a grille to fill in that hole in the bumper to make it look much better.

so what with that gap between bumper and hood close to the right headlight? looks sort of like the bumper edge is a little higher than the hood for a few inches?

Ive got a black mesh grille in there already and yeah the side markers where **** so after messing with it for a while I took it to the shop and he said he can either get them flush or fill them in with fiberglass and from the pictures you can see which I chose . I love the front end of my car so much better now without those amber side markers

Cool word choice.

Fitment looks reasonable. Post more pics of hood / bumper gap and bumper / headlight gaps and we'll see. Personally, I am partial to the side markers, but if they don't fit they don't fit.

I did get them to fit but they were just a little pushed out still, all that needed done was a little more shaving by someone who actually works on cars instead of me. As far as the side markers go a few people have said they really like the clean look and others are partial to the side markers, oh well to each his own.

And ill try to get some more pictures on here soon but who knows when cuz the weather is kinda bipolar right now
