got my kit painted #136162 Mar 26, 6:03pm Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 89 ohio hucke150 Member hucke150 Member Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 89 ohio finally got my kit painted, i did the pre fit and all that, took it to the paint shop and they charged me $500. not to bad considering they had to fix 3 cracks in the gel coat. though it is the veilside ff gt, you still may have cracks when it comes off of ups.anyways to the people that have the vs ff gt front end, i am not taking the plastic under paneling off, ive reinforced it, so its solid and wont shake around but will the plastic edge show through the main opening of the front end? or will it sit below the opening so you dont see the plastic edge?
