Kit is sold... Sorry.
Intook the tips off and may sell them to buy different ones. I really like them though... 3m tape is all off now. Definately getting used to it without kit! Lots of bolt ons are en route since the kit sold...

I'm in the small minority that likes the kit but I have one so I'm biased. They look nice in red but I will probably replace the front bits with a lip that goes around the entire front.

How much did you sell the kit for???

My Camaro had the RS kit... Took that off as soon as I could. Had a shop fill in those holes. They did a pretty shitty job but whatever. Now get a CME & that thing will look even cleaner!

Well theres only one hole in the rocker panel that bugs me, I put a temporary patch on it with bondo and touch up paint... The couple in the bumpers i just used plastic push rivets which suprisingly look factory... Also as a temporary hold over. I'm planning to fix and paint them myself, in the midst of buying some more equipment. I do have experience with body/paint so... The only one that bugs me is the one in the rocker... People recommend welding it... Do I put a piece of steel there cut to fit, weld it, then grind?
