i mean its basically risk free lol...im going to go out on a limb and say its the poison wide-body kit

 

Yes that does appear to be the poison wide body, i believe is also the Min garage kit?

It supposedly an extreamly bad fit though.

But $29 why not?

 

get it...good deal..lol

 

is this how you got so many posts? :3_winkthu

 

min garage or poison

 

who cares if it is 29 bucks when it cost 4k to install

 

so very true...many people have had to spend so much more than they paid for installing cheap ebay kits

but hey, I'm sure you could turn around and sell it on ebay and make a profit :3_winkthu in case things dont work out

 

thats what im saying risk free. its about a 2 hr drive from my house.. Id like to call them but im in japan and its like midnight back in the states lol... id have to rent a truck to pick it up... You sure about the poison wide style?

 

i have 0 experence with kits so id have to take it into a shop to fit and install...

 

pocket change, i say get it.

 

whats the avg $ for a shop to fit/paint /install one of these suckers?

 

im guessing 2 grand like warrior said

 

2k minimum. Most shops probably wont even touch it because it is of such poor quality. A better estimate is 3-4k+

 

how can you tell the quality by just looking @ it?

 

because im not a noob, and that kit and all of its copies are crap

 

I am a noob....and I agree

 

no, im asking for knowledge... like if i go up to it how can i tell if its bad quality?

 

we told you. That kit is crap.

 

kick and see if it breaks....if no break...your good to go....if break...get the hell out of there as fast as you can

 

all wide body kits are expensive as hell to install right because you have to mold/bondo the new fenders and quarters in, so basically you have to repaint nearly the entire car... completely badass looking if its done right, horrible if its done wrong, and to be honest, i could never justify spending 4k+ on bodykit/work on a 6k car....

and thats not even touching the fact that that specific one may have warpage issues, etc and you wont really know that until you fit it up really

 

its BAD bc it has taken several member thousands of $$$$ to make the kit even fit correctly let alone paint and prep work and random reinforcement that is typically needed on install.

My kit cost $1K to paint myself... and the fitment was perfect. Imagine paying a body guy $75hr for an extra week to two weeks worth of work just getting seems to line up correctly.

Its not worth it....

40hrs x $75/hr = more than I would want to spend on a kit that will just end up back where it first got installed due to the poor quality fiberglass/mold in the 1st place.

 

true true, a friend of the family works at a body shop so it might be worth my 2 hr drive and -$30

 

If you enjoy 2 hours of driving to purchase junk. You can probably find a local landfill closer.

We are all trying to help you. The kit is trash. Plain and simple. It will costs thousands to install, and hundreds if not thousands per year for upkeep.

 

....on a side note you could always buy it and flip it for some cash locally, i mean the retail on those are way more than 29$

 

29 dollars is a steal

 

if its a no go ill just look for a good quality kit online

 

where is a good quality place to buy one online if the ebay ones are garbage

 

our sponsor section...

If you think they are over priced... PM me your email and ill send you pictures of why its worth spending the extra money....

 

honestly dude heres a plan.
buy the kit. on a day off take off some of the body panels on your tib and line up the new body kit to see how off it is/how much holding needs to be done/etc. If you dont feel like putting the moeny into it after you tried lining it up. Re-sell it locally for $250. $220 profit sounds good minus gas to pick it up.

 

I was thinking of buying this kit at one time too, until I found out the things that these guys with the know are trying to tell you now. I ended up with a Carart kit through Mike at Import Shark and have never been happier with the quality.

 

put it this way... I have the zefiro gt widebody kit... one of the best fitting best quality kits for our car... its almost $2k shipped and all... I was getting the average estimate for around $4500 to have it painted and installed from most body shops... and thats with this being one of the best fitting kits... I cant imagine how much that would be to install... that is THE worst fitting kit made... not only that, most guys have a lot of trouble getting the wheels to look right once the kit is installed... everyone always has there wheels way to sunk in and say for some reason its hard to get them flush with the fenders (not sure why) but guys have installed this kit but I just cant even imagine what kind of estimates you'd get for that thing... just my .02 cents

 

a friend of mine has this on his car, he bought it that way, it looks very ricer-ish, he scrapes everything with it and he has 19'' rims and stock suspension.. the kit sits wayy too low and the sides(quarterpanels) dont flow well with the car and its lines. /thread

 

agree with most of the above, its cheap and will cost u hella $ to put on
it looks like fun to install... while its cheap , its just crap and will cost alot in the end..
