Not a fan personally of the J's kit, but looks good
Rears seem to fit well. Didn't know J's had fitment issues though.

Generally speaking, aftermarket parts whether authentic JDM or not, only come close to fitting correctly. There's always tolerances in the manufacturing process so it's hard to gauge how close it'll come to fitting "perfectly". If you want it to be as good as possible, having someone "fit" the bumpers to your car would be the best option. That's pretty standard, IMO.

yep this! put on my fenders and they fit really well with the gaps all lining up. but the flares like skyler said, don't line up and leave gaps on the quarter panel. but, nothing a good body man can't take care of.

love the kit Chris! about time we have some more modded cars in Houston. and don't be afraid to whore pics of your car

I think top secret would be cool. not a whole lot of people one, own that diffuser, and two rock it.
