The transparancy of the product does NOT denote that it's a poor product. Transparancy simply means that the product does not have enough white pigmentation in the gelcoat (note I say pigmentation because it's just color, it doesn't mean there's not enough gel coat, just not enough color).
PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF prior to making assumptions.
Please tell you body shop they are the biggest *** reamers in the world, and next time to use vaseline prior to going up the back end of customers. Put blame where blame should be put.

is it possible that you got a bad mold? my friend is in no way a professional and yet he got his fiberglass ks rear to go on without any problems. the only reasons i can think of for this is that either you got a bad mold (if greddysetgo and klumzyee do in fact use the same mold) or they both use different molds. how else can you explain my friend's perfect fitting ks rear vs your not-so-perfect rear?

okay, so let's say that greddysetgo and klumzyee get it from the same manufacturer and mold...perhaps klumzyee filters his kits and doesnt allow the poor fitting ones to be sold? i'm just trying to figure out why my friend's ks rear and your ks rear are so different if in fact they are from the same manu/mold. now, if you bought the ks rear straight from klumzyee, i could understand...but i know klumzyee would take care of it...
note: (1) i'm posing serious questions and not flaming you. (2) ive never done business with danny so i cant comment on him and his business but ive met him and hes a nice guy (3) ive done business with eric and he made sure i was happy with my product. i told him i would let him know asap if my skirts didnt fit (i was at the shop when they were fitting them - btw, the shop was VERY impressed with how well the skirts fit that they gave me some money back because they didnt have to do as much work as they though to fit them).

Stop sugar coating your **** poor product and man up. I saw dan's kit and it was complete crap. Damn thing had a freakin hole in it!! You have done nothing (literally, you have ignored his repeated attempts to get a hold of you) to rectify this and amicably resolve this matter with dan. Instead you have decided to attack him...through a different screen name nonetheless. Pffffft.
You want to talk about different definitions, your definition of "a pretty good kit" is laughable.
Take your bush league product off these boards and STFU

how about this
you want to make me a happy customer and prove that your kit isnt crap why dont you send me a complete new one and ill have it put on the car and see how that one fits.
its not that the kit was so thin its all the air pockets that were underneath the gelcoat. i still have bubbles coming up and the kit has been sanded preped and painted over 5 times already

For $200 bucks, you could have made an angry customer happy and this would have been put to bed. Instead, you stood strong (ie. hiding behind the cloak of the internet to ignore every attempt dan made to contact you) and I hope this thread comes up in every search to prospective buyers of your products. You only have yourself to blame in making this issue a mountain out of the proverbial molehill.
Enjoy...........

So watch-out for bumps and steep driveways. Lucky for me, Im on air-suspension, raising the bumper manually, helps me protect the bodykit. ......... Good luck
FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Plastic.
Fiberglass is the fiber portion of FRP. We say fiberglass as it's less cryptic than FRP.
Resin is the "Plastic" in the FRP. Without resin, a sheet of fiberglass cloth cannot take shape. The fiberglass gives structural strength/integrity to the "plastic" (resin). One without the other would be incomplete.
Everyone got it? Fiberglass is FRP. FRP is fiberglass. PFRP is still fiberglass. It is simply a different mixture of resin (most likely they use a vinylester resin rather than polyester. I don't want to get into this matter right now...too much to explain.) Companies like Ing's +1 use the term PFRP to describe the vinylester based products they sell. Theoretically, this stuff is more flexible than regular FRP - well atleast it is advertised to be. I invite people with Hybrid Aero / AKA PFRP to try and twist their products as they are advertised to be able to do...What you will find is that they are NOT flexible- why not you ask? I don't know, but suspect it to be a chemical mixture that is still not flexible enough in the cured state.
There. That is the REAL explanation of FRP, PFRP, and fiberglass.

This guy's main gripe is quality about being able to see light through it. That is a moot point as it is simply coloring of the gelcoat. His other problem is that he got charged $$$$$ from his body shop for the prep. I could have referred him to a shop in Florida (Jacksonville or Gainsville) that could have done the job just as well with a quoted 3 hours prep MAX per piece with the same outcome. How do I know? I've sent numerous cars out to these places and the outcome is always good.
Let me tell you what the problem is. Everyone has their own definition of perfect and good fitment. I highly suspect that California shops and other areas that have done body kits will tell you that these kits fit well and while other shops that don't do a lot of frp body kits for imports and the such will tell you straight out that this is the worst kit they've seen on the planet. Take it from someone who's seen it all, this is a pretty good kit.
