Default C-Series Cervini Auto body kits, anyone familiar?

Has any one bought and installed a C-series cervini body kit? I just wanted to know if the installation is difficult. also my color car is unique... actually most 5.0 magazines I look don't have mods for my color car. So my question is, how do I get ground effects for my car painted the right color?

the kit is great the problem will be the match of paint. the color will be close if you pait by color code but not perfect. i sprayed part last year and repainted whole car in spring to match perfect.

so pretty much if i order a body kit i might as well repaint my entire car? Wow, that's no good., anyways what about instalation? Easy or difficult, i am a rookie at body kits.

What do you know about molding? example, i have a V6, but i would like to put dual exhaust... instead of buying a new bumper, mold my old bumper to fit the new exhaust system... Good, Bad or the Ugly?

I spent some time as a salesman and did several Cervini C-500's for various customers. If the paint shop uses the correct color codes, the match should be perfect. The only difference will be if your car is older and the paint has faded, then you might see a liitle difference (all paint fades with time even if you can't really tell by looking at it from day to day). The kit itself is one of the most difficult to complete. If you don't prep the parts correctly, the paint will start peeling off, or at best will crack and chip very easily.

Here's a picture of one I had built. You can see the bumper matches the rest of the car perfectly I think (color Alloy)

I have the Cervinis kit and love it! It has nice fit and finish and the mold release they use takes some prep to get off to get ready for prime and paint.Other than that very smotth and east kit to install! I feel it is best left to someone that has installed these kits before but it is not that hard. I helped and friend that has been doing this forever and helped keep the costs down. It took three weeks start to finish.

Is the paint code for my color car on the door sticker or in my manual? thanks for the tips, I will have a friend help me with the body kit, not sure which one I will order yet. When I do i will post a picture of the kit. By the way nice cars both of you, the kits definitely look good on your cars.
