since it has the molding that also wraps around a few inches on the inside of the wheel well. either one side will fit and not the other. if you get one side in the wheel well. wrap it around the back . the other side will not stick down since you cant get that tab in the wheel well and sticks out 1 inch. then if u put it on in the middle first. then it will be sticking out a half inch atleat on each side.





right by the wheel that peice there.



Edit: not to mention that the damn wire mesh scratches your freaking car when putting it on too.

I have the same problem with mine. I got no instructions with the valance. I didn't know if it was to go above or below the peak on the bumper. I tried below first and it left a 1/2 inch gap on the wrap arounds and the tape wouldn't stick. I pulled it back off and removed all the tape from the valance which is a royal pain in the a$$. I put new tape on and sanded the car bumper with some sandpaper, wiped it down with prep sol, heated the tape and put valance on the bumper cover above the peak. I drilled a hole in the wrap around and screwed valance into that. It's 98% better now then at first. I'll try and live with it.

I have had no problems, and thats my car your used in your explaination! There is an incorrect statement above. The kit WILL fit the LS with sport package. I know, cuz' mine does. You will have to remove the mud flaps, which means cutting them off. Perhaps that is the problem you are having.

Body kits are not backyard garage projects. They require professional painting and fitting. If you are going to spend 600 on the kit, spend another 600 to have it correctly and professionally done.

I was thinking the same thing.

sneaky_- same peice as the one i got from you just a pain lol.

fljohn- is there anyway you can get close up pics of the kit in the wheel well? Cuz that seems to be the most trouble. and does it go directly above the line? or a lil higher then that ( if you know what i mean lol )

halfcent- ya that is your car ( sweet car btw) but i just need a pic of the kit on a car to point out where abouts it is. so props on your car and credit to halfcent.
