What should I do?
My 8 frustrates the hell out of me. I bought this 8 a little more than 2 monthes ago, I bought by looking at pictures online.. Which was a bad idea, because I wouldn't have bought it if I had noticed all the flaws.. I had no knowledge on body kits or anything really when I bought it. I also wasn't the one who picked it up, my dad did.. and he thought it looked "amazing", I thought it needed work once I saw it up close.
-My front bumper has lots of gaps.
-My side skirt on my driver side looks very poor compared to the passenger side, has gaps.
-The side light on my drivers side(the light that goes from the headlight to the front wheel) is missing its lens.
-There is also a crack in the front bumper, minor, but still annoying.
After getting a little more knowledge on the 8's body kits, I've come to conclusion I have a replica MS body kit, which would be why it doesn't fit well. It agitates me very much to have all these flaws in my 8. I just should have inspected the car better.. made a big mistake by having my dad buy it. I was 17 at the time, however. The previous owner should have done it right..
What should I do? Invest in a new bumper? Keep the side skirts, but have the driver side put on better? I want my car to look good. I don't want to pay out the ***, of course, but if I have to for it to be done correctly.. I shall start saving.

The side skirts can be fitted properly pretty easy. replica's are hit or miss. I have seem some fit very well and other fit horribly. personally I would try and find a used authentic MS front bumper and get it fitted and painted but it will be hard to match with that paint scheme.

Another thing I was looking into was a Tsunami kit. I see 2 available on Ebay. They are 1 grand, which isn't cheap.. plus that doesn't include shipping.. Idk, so many options.. I guess I'll just have to sit on it and think. In the mean time, I should learn to drive my car like a beast I think, then I'll worry more on making it look perfect
