civic or accord? i used to have them on my accord. who did you buy them through and what seems to be the problem? are the fiberglass or plastic. most kits need to be adjusted and modifyd to fit eventhough they are said to be a direct bolt-on.

it is a 96 civic hatch and the vent on the back hits the pinch weld under the door. do you have to cut that off or what?

yea, your going to want to trim that down in the back, i usually wrap a piece of masking tape around the fiberglass where im cutting first and cut through the tape, that way fiberglass particles are flaying everywhere. then i use a dremel with a cut off wheel on it. take your time cutting it and keep the speed on the dremel on setting 2 or 3, if you try to go too fast with the cut off wheels they will break and fly into your face and that hurts.

95% of all bodykits don't fit, they all require some sort of bodywork. The cheaper the kit the worse it will fit. Even good expensive kits will warp by the time it reaches your doorstep.

IMO that is the biggest negative about cars. Sure you can keep you stock ones but a lot (not all) of stock bumpers look like ass too.

nah, man dont go gettin all grinder happy on me now, your gunna want to trim down the inside of the SIDE SKIRT, where the vent is. the inside of that vent should be a good 2" wide or 1.5" but your gunna want to trim that down to about 3/4" of 1/2".
