Default C-West Kit Fitment

I just got my C-West Kit, bought it from a local shop. The front end and SIde Skirts looks like it would line up properly but the rear lip. I test fitted it, and I had to kinda force and bend it to fit properly. Did you have the same problem???? - DarvinM

the sides of mine had to be adjusted at the portion right in front of the doors. the rears have small gaps near the rear part of the pieces. Another guy in my area has the kit and had the same fitment issues I believe.

There should be no fitment problems with the Cwest kit. All 3 of the Cwest kits here went on with no problem and perfect fitment on each and everyone of them. The bodyshops did no custom work when installing (my kit) and I was there the entire time of installation. Hopefully you guys didn't buy run off kits (quality is poor and they are heavier). There are a lot of run off kits out there. The authentic Cwest kit retails for $1600 + $200 for the canards plus shipping. So the real kit alone will run you over $2000 with shipping for the real deal. Granted some of our cars are sponsored and can get the kit for a lot less. If you didn't pay anywhere near these prices then you probably bought the Cwest style kit not the actual kit or a used kit.. Not really a big deal (the style kit) once its painted. They look the same to me just the fitment was off. You had to bend this and that to get proper fitment. Remember the real Cwest kit comes in black and has the Cwest copyright engraved on the front bumper.
