Don't see why not. I don't see what the big deal with the height is though. There are alot of kits out there that the sides sit lower than the front. I think the almighty MS kit does too.

But most likely you would have to get a custom lip spoiler made for it if that's what you wanted to do. Or just get the front bumper without the sides. Then it will be lower.

Either way looks good IMO

Oh man that sucks. Unfortunately he's the only one that carries them. No replicas either.

UK

I was tempted to ask but ive found a company who do like a forward service same idea as yours but its there actual buisness but that would mean id pay $200 or so for it to be sent to them then a fee of $60-100 plus shipping to the UK + customs will get involved and charge anywhere upto 20% value . and after reading the posts ive realised its not a perfect fit and will need bodyshop work and with the prices over here (got quoted for the bumper and skirts to be sprayed not fitted $3000.
I may just get a legit Ings kit shame as noone has the Tsunami over here.

Thanks anyway

I used a 2 part urethane repair epoxy, but everyone else just left it.



I used flexable, looks like that. Good for use instead of bondo. I used alot of it on the "ears" at the point where the hood meets the lights. I was looking for the best fit possible though, and it took me forever to get right. I'm not a bodyman by no means, but I did everything myself, except the clear.

On the 3rd pic, right where the fender folds in and out, I removed the factory
white plastic snap in, and put a body screw plastic clip( dont really know what to call it )

I also bonded a strip of alminium at the corner, but Ive noticed it falling off, so Ill sperglue it on at the begining of spring.

Got my bumper on ready for spraying and its a decent fit but im having trouble with the side clips it doesnt seem to wanna stay in I think du to its rubber like nature and it gets very flexi when warm so I was wondering how others have got round this.
