Ok, so heres the low down, i got the auto exec stuff, went to get it painted. From the start, the Lip Spoiler didn't look right! there was two bubbles on the bottom, as if someone had placed it on something hot and it melted. Also It looked as if someone had poured something over the top and then tried to wipe it off. Now that is the way i received it. I
thought that perhaps it was just some coating for shipping but when i took it to get painted they told me it need to be fully sanded and that it was of "inferior quality". Also the grill when it was preped and then painted came out with hundreds of tiny holes in it. I was told that it was a manufacturing defect in the fibre glass. The grill now has to be re-preped sanded, bondo put in the holes and then repainted and cured. Now we actually sell body shop equipment so i know that it was not the application, I just don't think that Auto Exec is as cracked up as it should be. Very disappointed. The friend painting it for me will fix it and it will look as good as new, but for someone that just shelled out that type of cash and then has to get it all repreped just to get it painted. Auto Exec would be a crazy expensive kit.
My two cents. I don't think people are concerned about replicating the kit because it would turn out to be far superior than the ones from Japan. In my eyes Auto Exec is Crap and i would condone anyone buying it, however it does look good, quality is shit!
