To be honest I don't know anybody who has been able to bolt the peices right on.

Just lots of fine tuning, shimming, perhaps some cutting.

Right you are. LOTS of , quot;Nah, it has to go this way, no that way...no no no...you JUST HAD ITquot;

: Direct bolt on is NOT what this is. Lots of tweaking and re-adjusting. It's WELL Worth it though.

Wouldnt it be cheaper to sell the one you have and buy a newer one considering the money you put in it to make it look newer?? :confused:

Re: Upgrading C4 Body Style...
Maybe it would be a better idea to go to find the GM parts on e-bay or something? I guess it would be easier if you used real parts than aftermarket parts. Am I right?

C5 West is a lot of work for the body kit.

The kit is actually a piece of chit! I would recomend everybody stay away from these.
