    Wasted Day

    Well I spend all day installing a new from clip on my 06 today.
    It was a total waste. It would NOT fit correctly. I called and taked to the place I ordered it from. I sent them picture of the body not lining up. The are going to look into it and deside on what they are going to do.









    If I can not get it worked out I might just put on 07 clip on.

    Do you guys know if the above will fit an 06 it looks like it will.

    as a rule of thumb all bodykits will require modding...some more then others

    i believe here is a lip as well for he 9g...not sure where to get it though

    I would not have minded some modding, bur it was about 5/16" to 3/8" to narrow on each side.

    those aftermarket companies sure do a great job of half assing shit and ripping people off.

    That's a big gap right there. I hope the people you ordered it from can make a solution if not return it to them. Goodluck.

    I was able to get it bent into place and line up and this happened.

    This is what they say"Accurate Fitment (Money-Back Guaranteed)". I talked to them and they wanted pictures. I am not going to post where it got it from or the brand untill we get it worked out.

    Sorry to hear about that fitment, I hope you at least get a refund for it. I don't know what kind of funds you have but you could always get a shop to do it and let them worry about it.......I hate when I spend a lot of money on something and still have to start chopping it up.......reminds me of my injen intake fiasco.......hope you get it straightened out.

    bring it to a bodyshop. they can make it fit and look good. honestly, FG bodykits are not meant to be installed by home mechanics... they almost never fit perfect and need modification (there are exceptions of course but they usually cost MUCH more).
