I'm the one who complained about spending $1500 at the body shop on top of the $1295 body kit price. When I received the kit, it was pitted all over the place, had a few gouges in it, and the 'SALEEN' lettering on the back bumper cover was not looking good - the outline was not sharp at all in places. It also did not fit all that well on the car and required a lot of massaging with a heat gun. My good friend is buddies with the shop owner and I have had other work done there and trust them. It took 20 hours of labor @ $68/hr to get the job done, so with the materials and the rest it was $1500 on top of the kit price.
I don't know if they pick out all the best parts to put on their production cars and then send the crap out to aftermarket customers, but that's how it seems to me.
