all my pics are too big what is the best way to shrink them down without distorting them?

There might be other ways, but I figure you will need a program like Fireworks, or Photoshop to edit the picture. If you have one of those, or a program which gives you the following option, give it a try... Look somewhere for an option to resize the picture (search in help for the program you have). I resized mine to 12 inches wide, which is pretty good for the internet. If you shrink them down, they shouldnt distort. I think they will only distort if you make them larger.

That's hot-sauce.. I don't know if body kits are the same concept as OEM or AM parts from a seller, where they have to be glazed or sealed before you can wax and polish the parts? I know that when I got my new hood (OEM factory) I had to wait to put a sealant on before waxing it etc, to avoid scratching the hell out of it.

Alright, cool. Thank you for your help. I had no idea about that. I am going to call my detailer and ask him about it, I am sure he has dealt with this type of body modification before.

Yeah, except for the rear which had 4 of the factory srews put throught it. It is a lot more secure than it sounds. Now that is has been a couple of days, all the gaps sealed up well and all of the parts on there really tight. (I went around and tugged on everything to see it it was loose before I wash it). Not a chance in hell.

Surprised me to say the least, I guess whatever works.
