^^ sup bro, nice car!

update: so i dropped off the car today morning and everything that i am not happy with-will be fixed! the owner was very nice about it and was a man of his words! going to pick her up on fri, will post pics with no rivets

lastly, i have a question re: the mesh install - so the body shop guy was tellin me that because my mesh is plastic (as opposed to metal) it keeps "folding" and doesnt look too clean, as a workaround he put some glue on the corners to keep it "straight" edges of the vents have accumulated some chunks of glue and i am getting that fixed as well. i was wondering what all have you done to keep the mesh from wrinkling/folding up? any ideas he said we could install a metal mesh instead (wont cost much) and paint it black. but i have read that leads to paint chipping problems and more than likely i will have to get re-painted later on. plz help!

don't install wire mesh. the plastic is better.

heat it up (leave it in the sun or use a hair dryer) and put some heavy books on it to flatten it out.

he's talking abt the wave when its getting installed, but it will be fine, as they never come out perfect and its unnoticeable when its on the car

have them get adhesive and glue 2-3" long wires around the front bumper opening on the inside and then have then place the grill over the opening putting the wires thru the holes that they are close to and simply fold them over,

note: it wont be perfectly flat, but it will look un-wavy and flat when the bumper is on, look at my pix below, my grill isnt perfectly flat but looks so unless you remove bumper and look straight down at it and then u will see a wave

hope al works out this time around man

Joe

Wow those rivets should NOT be there! There are plastic snap clips that hold the side skirts on. Also if it's a real IMPUL kit the side skirts are ABS not fiberglass.
Mine fit great before I had the car shipped to Canada for a show, damn car carrier!

Take it back and have them take them out. Any bodyshop should know that it does not look good.
