FITMENT GUIDE

Every part on ShiftCartel is fitment-verified. Here's how to confirm the right part for your exact vehicle before you order.

GUARANTEED FITMENT — If a part doesn't fit the vehicle it was listed for, we cover return shipping and send the correct part at no charge.

HOW TO VERIFY FITMENT

01

Identify Your Vehicle

Start with your exact Year, Make, Model, and Trim. Even small differences — like a base vs. Sport trim — can affect fitment. Check your door jamb sticker or registration for the exact spec.

02

Match the Part Number

Every product page on ShiftCartel shows a fitment table. Enter your vehicle in the fitment checker and look for the green ✓ badge. If you see a yellow ⚠ badge, read the notes — minor modifications may be required.

03

Verify Submodel & Package

Some packages (e.g., Technology Package, Performance Package) add different suspension geometry or brake sizes. Always cross-reference your VIN decoder output against the part's fitment notes.

04

Check Clearances

For suspension, brakes, and wheels, measure your existing clearances before ordering. Coilovers require measuring spring perch height; big brake kits require caliper-to-wheel clearance of at least 5 mm.

05

Confirm with a Creator

Browse builds in The Garage that match your vehicle. Creators tag every part they actually installed — that's real-world fitment confirmation, not just a catalog match.
