i don't care about the rear of sides, wich i have read are total sh!t, but i've read several posts on the front that go both ways good and bad.
for those of you that actually have it installed, what is your opinion on quality and worksmanship.
i do not want or intend for this post to become a place for people to vent about the kaotic\andys thing. just looking for some honest opinions.
thanks

The kit is being discussed hereWhat would lead people to believe that the quality of the front would be any different than the sides/rear? It's going to take a lot of prep work to make it look good.

If you're gonna spend the money on a non-SE bumper, you might as well get an SVT set. They may be hard to find and a little expensive, but it would be well worth it imo. I'm thinkin' bout doin that myself as my front is scratched from a gravel pile and the back already has touch-up paint from when I got it from Sheb. Chrysler. The estimate I got for prep and paint from the Ford Dealership on my bumper and hood was $850  For just a couple hundred more I could come up with the full SVT kit and have it painted and installed.  I'm still tryin to decide what to do there, but if you want different bumpers, go with the SVT.

banking on the svt rear and sides, however i'm planning something a "little different" than what everyone else has for the front, involving a stock bumper some fiberglass and who knows what else, but i do know that i'm designiong it to go with the look of the svt skirts and rear.

Ive had to put a few Andy's kits on cars and paint them...trust me you cant afford to keep fixing the POS when it keeps blowing out due to all teh bad quality glass and air pockets that keep popping and breaking open. If you want to pay a good $300 or better to fix and paint a few times a year..plus the inital install of more than $500..then by all means put the bumper on your car..In a logical sense...it doesnt add up to dump all your hard earned cash on fixing a crap product.
