Not to him, And that is all that matters.
Shows just how little you do know... The kit is not a bolt on kit. It requires an extensive amount of fiberglass work.. Nothing about the kit is a simple "bolt on". He has spent weeks worth of labor to get that car looking like that. My advice, Pick up a wrench once in a wile and maybe you will gain some respect for those that do.

I've rebuilt engines, transmissions, carbs and and replaced more water pumps, clutches, cams, heads, rear ends, starters, exhaust systems, ball joints, u-joints than I care to remember.

Now, can't we all get along?
We C4 owners need to ban together. It's Fall and there are roads full of leaves just waiting to get sucked into our radiators.
