I am fitting a body kit that i got from andy's auto sport and i have a problem with it. The new side skirt has a 1" gap when it tryes to meet up with the front quarter pannel. i was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on what i can do to fix this

hehehe sell the kit! Sorry man, but ive just heard of nothing but problems for the Andy's kit. Your best solution is take it to a shop and get them to try and fix it. Like I said, I would not recommend that kit simply because the moudlings on it are almost always off by quite a degree

Hope you know how to do fiberglass work b'c my side panels had to get that gap filled in on both sides. It's like they had to "make" the side panels. Without fiberglassing it to fill that gap, it' won't fit. I seriously don't know wtf their thinking to keep selling that kit without fixing that.

no,its not just Andy's,ANY body kit you order,Ive yet to here of any perfect fitting body kit,yes even AED,some ppl that locally have them but don't go online because they don't like all the figthing between all the companies and the proud owners,they said they had some work done to get it to fit.EVERY kit is gonna have fitment issues,some just tend to have more sometimes,like I said b4 in another post,each kit comes out of the mold different.Getting a body kit is a serious project to take if your not prepaired for the worst possible outcome,meaning having a crap load of work done to get it to fit,its an eye soar to the person paying to have it fixed but to the body shop people its $$$ and if you know how to do everything yourself then you get satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Like i told people i have the aas kit and it sucks because of all the mods you have to do and the quality of it. i had to cut and add fiberglass to every pice nothing fit right i dont know who made the mold but they sure did suck at it. Wait tell you have to re paint it and all the air finaly comes out of the fiberglass it was fun ;) id sell it get a GT kit then the SC/t kit
