body kit fittment question

[Chuckt]

i got my buddy club kit in the mail and its an awesome kit, but its a little wide on each side and if i flex it in, it will fit perfectly, but im wondering if it will be fine to flex the kit to fit. Or should i make it so it fits pefectly without flexing it any? I think it will be fine ot leave it how it is and bolt it on, but im just making sure since ive never done it before. thanks

Is it fiberglass? If so, then your body shop will need to make it fit properly before mounting and painting. If you just flex it in, you will see cracking in the paint before long and probably cracking in the kit also.

I put in the main 5 bolts (the ones under the esge of the hood) today and it fits much better. Its only about 1/4-1/2 inch on each side so im not to worried about the paint spidering up on me. Ill post some pics later

The kits will flex a little. It may last for years like that, or it may crack the next day. There's no promises on kits. Just flex it, or cut and reglass it.
