Okay called Sarona and found out this kit does not come with brackets it uses either rivits or bolts. They also could not fit the fenders on. It turns out even though this body shop does great jobs with reagular **** for carz. They know jack about after market. I asked the guy if he has done something like this before and they said once or twice. They tell me this after having my car for a week and a half. Scum Bags!!!!! The only reason i ever went there is because they did my 2 people I know who got into bad accidents and my friends sisters IS after some1 tried to steal it 3 times. Hey lesson learned but I am fu_cking ****ed. I mean come on you can't tell me this when you get the kit you wait a week and a half what a mess. How am I gonna pick everything up know.

Thanks for the info my friend knows a body shop where they did his car, so i called them and they said they can do it but they got to look at it first. They deal with aftermarket parts. If they fail I will give ur place a call. Incidently how much did the job cost u?

there are no brackets for that kit,,,,that shop just doesnt have any skills....to make the back fit u take off all the brackets taht came with the stock bumper,,,,and then u drill holes where the trunk lid comes down and u put in the pop lock things that came with the stock bumper...and mount it there,,,,and for the back...and then 2 mount it near the fender well....u have to drill a hole it it so u can get the screw up in2 the orginal spot....
its really easy 2 do...all u have to do is drill holes and screw it in2 where the OEM bumper was....if that shop cant do it tell them they suc ***
and the front is hella easy....just goes where the stock 1 bolted up...just gotta make holes and screw it in....
sides...those should be self explanatory...just drill holes and rivet it in
hope that helps some....if u cant find some1 2 do it...drive down to TX and ill do it for u..hehe

My bodyshop has solved all the fitment issue on Sarona/Kombat/ViS/Ninja kit.
1. Find a good bodyshop first
2. if the bumper doesn't fit or flare out too much on the side, tell them to cut off the side and rebuild it.
3. If the sideskirts are too short, tell the bodyshop to cut in half, and rebuild another half.
That's how my body shop did it.
100% fitment now, really great looking.
If you live in Seattle area, you can come to Vancouver, coz lots of Seattle ppl go to my body shop to do body kits, coz they are experts.
