Default buddy club body kit problems!!!

i went to put my kit on today and i had alot of problems. the side skirts need to be molded a little so that they fit tight to the car. the rear bumper is not for my car.
and the front bumper didnt seem to want to go on properly. it looked like it was sitting too far forward. it looked like the front support was blocking the bumper from sitting properly. the top of the bumper where the grill is didnt sit near the hole that it should fit into.
does anyone know if you have to modify the front bumper support for the kit to fit right.
thanks for any input.

its it real or fake??? - If its real they go on with few problems - if its fake which it seems to be by the way describe it - to get the front to fit you would have to remove the front beam which is sucide - take it back from whoever you bought it from or sell it - I know everyone likes the way kits look but there a big headache - stick with lips and dump it

I have a Buddy Club front end, fiberglass. The only thing I did was remove the styraphome (sp) piece in front, and it fit fine.

yeah, remove the sterofoam thing. also the crash beam maybe in the way. with my wings west avenger front. the instructions say to either bend the beams back a bit or cut some of it off for a perfect fit.

all you have to do to make the front fit is to just trim the kit
