Which MS-Style kit?

I'm trying to get the MS Style Urethane kit but I do not know which one I should purchase from. Let me know which one you would do and why, and if anyone have done business with any of these companies, let me know. Thanks!

There I have to pick up the kit from a local greyhound station? I don't understand that one.

I e-mailed these guys before and he said that they've never had anyone really complain about fitment. Will be around $900+ after shipping to CA.

Don't understand why this one is so expensive...

When you say a lot of work, can you give some indication what you had to do? Filler, trimming, etc?

Also, ballpark, what is the cost of fitting and paint for this kit (seeing as you have done it).

Thanks

sorry.

it needed trimming and filling im for sure on. im not too sure on details but my bodyshop said it was a pain in the butt. THe kit bleed and required a lot of work on the clearcoat. Fitment was ok in the front, clearcorners were off, that needed to be fixed. Sides are decent when trimmed. Rear fits good besides i cant explain where, but it sticks out unless you trim and glue it. I bought a ings front and its painted now. the bodyshop guy loved this kit and said it was very easy to deal with. more work = more cost. i spent 1500 on fit and paint. went to one of the best guys in chicago.

hope this helps. i learned it was better to get the real deal, cost a couple hundred more and you will be satified. i remember seeing people in cali getting paint jobs for 600-800, so maybe its regional on cost. orginally mine was suppose to cost 900, but it was so bad it went that high. i had a couple of quotes from different places also.

Great information. Shows that the more expensive kits don't end up that more expensive I guess.

I bought mine from rotary extreme when someone clipped my front end. The urethane front nose sucks period. If I had to guess Stevie Wonder pulled mine form the mold. The left and right blinkers don't fit right even with some serious trimming, filling, sanding, screaming. I can push my index finger on any part of the bumper and it will push in. The texture even with a great paint job is wavy due to flimsy construction. No grills (I knew thisd though). This waste of time cost me around 400$ (no deductable). My body shop advised me to send it back but I asked them to do what they could since I got tired of waiting on down time. I wouldn't but a single thing from this company soley based of this experience. I should have sent it back. Instead my front bumper will be a MS bumper from retail plus what I wasted on Rotary Extreme. Seriously disappointed. I'm not even going to listen to "mines fine!" No way, there's been way too many ppl with the same problem... WYSIWYG
