how acceptable is it to have to modify, dereml, drill parts on your car to make it fit or to get it to work?

would not not buy a car because of this?
do you like to do this?

do you expect a national level competition kit to have to be finished by hand?

My view...

I hate any requirements to modify a kit, I expect a car kit to be perfect out of the box, once you start hacking away they end up looking 'amateur-ville'. A good kit should be perfect before being sold to paying customers... Yokomo have this sorted, from my experience all parts are always very professionally finished.
