No its not a kit i picked the tips i thought would look good with the T/A and cut the side skirts to match the tips, then painted them after the cuts. I wanted to do the Roush tips but i knew i would get some crap from ls1tech.

I cut a channel under the car to make them fit and i welded the tips to the frame of the car and used a stailess flex hose to make up for it.

That looks great! Woah! i just noticed the exhaust, that looks nice!! very custom, BUT now you have the empty looking valence, in the rear, maybe fill the empty parts to achieve a better look in the rear, like the Camaros came stock....OR maybe even replace the rear bumper with a formula one....
