Default Re: Does anyone have the APC kit installed?

I just got that kit installed on my PT.
I like the looks of it as well, but I did not like the sideskirts so I did not have them paint them or install them. I knew about the APC Stuff being crap, but it was all I could afford plus the insurance paid for some of it.
The front fit fine. the rear did not, I think a little cutting here and there would have made it fit better, but the body shop had already painted it and had it placed on the bumper before I saw it.
as you can see from the closeup pics it is ripped at both corners where it meets the wheelwell. It just does not reach far enough around. I like the look of the kit.

I like that! Going for a new look so I think that is it. Did it come with those reverse lights?

there are other good kits out there. If you are going to spend 1000+ buying and painting, get a better quality kit.
If you pay 600 for a bumper fender job, it should not have fit like that.

The reverse lights are in fact the stock lights still installed in the stock bumper, just through a hole in the APC bumper cover.
I have talked to a few people who installed this kit, everyone complained about the side skirts and the front or rear not fitting correctly. I would have to say thats the reason its on sale everywhere because no one wants it due to this. Granted if I got it for free and apro body shop puts it on and I could get them to address some issues then I wouldnt say no.
