hey boys, im from sydney and need a new front for my calais. i bought one of these fibremaster kits for $350 and they said it will take 2-3 weeks. i am going to put it straight on the car and paint it, so when its done ill get pics.

that last pic looked sick! nice work! so whats the deal with the panel beater? you reckon he couldn't do it ... or couldn't be bothered. Cos if only fibre master can put em on, its no good for us non sydneyans!

na man any1 can put them on, its just i didnt have access to my car while it was getting repairs, and to put it shortly my pannelbeaters did not have the skills of ur average pannelbeaters. its just screws in, not hard at all
