Chas, go to DTC Designs in Fords (right next to Perth Amboy)
they do all kinds of fiber glass jobs. Anything custom, they will help you out, although I dunno for the price quote. Still worth a try, plus its close to us. Friend of mine works there. His name is Mark and he owns the shop. Tell him that Dennis with black protege reffered you. Maybe he'll give you a price drop. Also mention the other price quote from other shop.

Holy Crap, What a Kick In The Junk!
**** it, Sell it and leave it alone. It's simply not worth it unless you have a major woddie for this kit...

Buddy Club 2 wouldn't do anything? Damn, On their website, under the description of the kit they state:
"[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Full four-piece bodykit made with hand-laid fiberglass. Guaranteed OEM fitment."
Are you sure it's an authentic Buddy Club 2? Does it have their id plate on it?
Kinda worried. I just ordered a Buddy Club 2 kit directly from Buddy Club 2.

So far I have not heard of any place that gave a damn about their own Guaranteed OEM fitment policies. Theres always the "well has your car been in accident, or has the car been altered in any way," excuses. They can always state that there maybe a need to have a professional install the kit for best fitment, it'll be in the fine fine print somewhere on the website. Well dahhh because the professional will mold it on for you at a price, and then it'll fit like OEM.
This goes all the same for any aftermarket products. You got to bite the bullet and be prepared to lay some $$$ to get it right.
I think wingswest does the same thing, they say OEM Fitment but they'll also say there maybe a need for a professional to fit and install the kit. Those two things should not be in the same sentence nor the same site. Businesses always try to save themselves from law suits and warranty issues.

If you even skim through it they are not responsible for any fitment issues. But yet they say when you look up the kit for the protege, it'll say OEM fitment.
