Default Bad body kits..

I got a body kit through Cyrius Image on nebraska through aerotrends,well my car went to my paint guy to get the kit installed and every blemish taken out of the car...This guy is really good and thank god he did my car or else my shit would be fucked up because the body kit was so poorly manufactured that it was a bitch even for someone who devotes 105% of their time and effort to perfection...so the moral to the story is that aerotrends sells a bunk ass product (it was either their work or andy's auto sport) and with aerotrends,when i first bought the kit i called them to see if it was even the right kit and they wouldnt reply,so i sent them pictures of how it wasnt molded properly and they wouldnt respond to that either...so the moral of the story is,that cyrius image goes overkill with making a profit off of you (over priced shitty body kit which i was charged 670 and they left the reciept in the box from aerotrends for a price of around 350 for the full kit) and that aerotrends knows they fucked up and wont face it.If anyone else has had or is having problems with either of these places,lemme know.better yet,let everyone know.

Ive never seen a body kit come in that fit properly. They all need work to get them on right.

Over charged you? shoulda shopped around...

I agree. Body kits usually never fit perfectly right out of the box. And $600 isn't too bad for a name brand kit, you'll easily pay $400 for a crap ass generic knock off on eBay and then have to pay another $150 just to ship it. And if you think your kit fit bad, you should see how some of those come.

That should tell you something...gaudy/cheap aftermarket body kits don't belong on cars.

Most fiberglass kits need some work to fit most of them need alot. Urethane kits cost more, but they do fit.
