In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Originally posted by STU: I have had the kit now for about three weeks. out of group buy. I was in the group buy. It is now just getting prep for paint, I talk to my body man and he thinks that this is the worse kit he has every sean.
front bumper have folds in and it is three seperate molds stuck together, 4 hours of sanding and getting all pissed off it looks good. not on car yet so don't no. well keep you updated.
Rear bumper looks great, again brakets being made to fit also not on car yet.
Side skirts S@#T I was thinking about just burning them but he said that he would do his best to make them work, Air bubbles every where.
I am going over to see him later today see how he is doing, hope okay. I will let you guys know, but I would also like to say all the trouble that evryone is going through, it is not worth it. I know its $600-700 bucks. if we all get our money back then great, getting the kit DONT DO IT...

When Kaotic was selling the kits:
Originally posted by SVT ST PETE: ~ The kit is well below average in worksmanship and quality.
My kit looks like you molded it together and took a utility knife and sawzall to it to cut it out. I'm going to have to spend extra money to have a shop fill these excessive cuts. What should be straight lines look like waves?..because it was cut by hand.
On the front bumper, it looks like you cracked or broke it and instead of fixing it, you just sanded it down and made it smooth. It leaves a big gap and I have to get a shop to fix that.
~ We were told that these body kits would be "direct bolt on" - false.
Why aren't these kits direct bolt on?
1. The rear bumper bolts on yes. But there are no holes and moutning points for it to mount to the body of the car next to the wheels. It will require more money and fabrication to get the rear bumper mounted.
2. The side skirts are ridiculous and a joke. They don't bolt on. You will have to drill them onto your door sills. They also stick out about 3 inches away from the car and look like running boards. This is a car - not an SUV.
I can't believe the condition my kit arrived in. It's pathetic. If you ship out any more kits that look anything like mine, you guys are doing a real hack job on these kits and ripping people off.
Considering the time it has taken for this kit to be produced, I would expect a top-notch, high quality, direct bolt-on kit.
This kit was not worth the almost 2 years and $750+ I paid for it. I regret it without a doubt.
PS - I will take and post pics if anyone wants to see the "workmanship".
EDIT: Pics taken in the dark (sorry):
IMHO, TRASH.

Nope.
There isn't more than a very small handful of kits period.

That KAOTIC thread got so long and...chaotic...that I didn't even bother reading any more of it. That's some serious crap that guy dealt out. Fugg that! $750 for some hand cut, poorly wrapped and waaaaay over due piece of crap?!?!
