BigBenz, that doesnt look as bad as I thought it would with the kit removed and the wing left on. Actually think it looks a little more badass from the back. did you use anything to fill in the holes?

i didnt use anything to fill the holes, and like i said . The holes are not a problem. You hardly ever see them. But im never looking. I might have them filled one day but its last todo on my list.( very long list)

So I removied the kit. wasnt hard at all.

The holes are a problem to me though. Its not so much even the holes its the bumps where the holes are. On pewter the holes arent all that noticable and Im gonna get some bondo or something, fill them in, and paint them with touchup.

ANyone ever do this, or have any advice?

body kits dont necessarily look bad but since you only have like half of it on the car looks kinda twisted... :S

remove the rest of it or put the rest of it back on, dont go halfway

if youre gonna lower it without changing the wheels then dont keep the kit on it... if you want wheels then the whole body kit is fine
