question for ww rs kit or urethane body kit owners

i got my ww rs kit today and i just had a few questions cuz im new to body kits. ill try and explain this, and if you guys still dont get it, ill take some pics. ok, the front lip is kinda straight for the front of the bumper and then on each side it kinda turns to hug the front bumper, to like follow the curve. one side curves enough so it hugs the bumper good on that side but the other side ( passenger side) doesnt curve enough so it kinda flares out. im thinkin you just kinda curve it back into place cuz my rear lip is a little out of place aswell. the thing is with the front lip, it looks like it was kinda made that way cuz the plastic running along side it doesnt show any stretch or anything.

another thing i noticed was on my rear lip. theres a little indent. kinda like if you push your finger on the kit, thats what it looks like. its not big but you can notice it if you look close. is there a way to fix that or the body shop will probably take care of that?

like i said, im new to body kits so help me out here. Thanx

Leave the kit out in the sun for a while, the shape should take it's place. If not try to get it soaked in some hot water.

The body shop should be able to smooth out the dent.

what do you mean you jacked it up in the spot? like you kinda put it on and you jacked up the middle part to keep it in place and left it in the sun?

its kinda cold over here. but maybe the sun might help. i actually left the piece bent into place on my rug using the wall and a box to try and fold it back together. but it seems the piece was designed with that flare. like theres the wall that shows, then theres like other kinda wall piece that goes on the bottom that kinda keeps it in place. hard to explain but when i bend the flared piece back in, that wall piece like goes up or down, it wont stay straight.
but i guess the body place will be able to take care of it.

i was wondering if its supposed to be really really rubbery. its pretty damn rubbery and my brothers friend said urethanes not supposed to be like that? but i think hes wrong. just to make sure, is there ways to make sure its a real wings west kit?

and another question is, how was the exhaust clearence? did it clear ok? and what about the people with aftermarket exhausts, how did you manage that?? i guess you have to lower you exhaust by extending the muffler but i just want a lot of clearence and i dont like the idea of my exhaust hanging low and not how its originally designed. what did you guys do?

thanx for all your replys

Correct. Copying their logo exactly would be major copyright violation. Make sure it doesn't say Wings East.
