Message	Has anyone else had a really hard time trying to install a Wings West Body Kit on their car? I've had a hell of time trying to get my mine to fit right. Either the body kit is just difficult to install or the body shop I took it to are just idiots. The front bumper looks terrible... it doesn't line up with the fenders or the center panel... also around the foglights I have a huge gap because the bumper isn't pushed in far enough. They even trimmed my front bumper metal support bar and the fitment still looks terrible. Is there a difference between the Wings West body kit and the Erebuni body kit? Because they look exactly the same. I've also noticed the Erebuni is cheaper.
