Pick your poison, you can go cheap, think you're saving money, till you paint/body guy hits you with the bill. OR you can buy a quality kit, from a reputable source. Granted you'll pay more for the aero, but in the end, you'll pay less because your body man doesn't have to make some side skirts fit, that are a copy of a mold, that was a copy of a shitty mold, that was copy of a legit mold. You pay the body man more, and it will STILL look like shit, due to the low quality of the mold, ripples, over spray, way too thick in places.

Quality kits are usually first mold made, as in, it's the original "tooling" if you will, so 90% of the time, the surfaces are smooth, and well prepped for your body man. Also, the quality kits tend NOT to be too thick in places, and tend to fit more like OEM (but still needing a little work).


or you can be like 80% of the other shithead kids out there, buy the ebay kit for 5 hundo shipped, rattle can it within 20 shades of your car color, zip tie the entire kit on, then go post on facebook how your "racecar" is "legit", till you hit your firt speedbump, and that shitty "FRP" shatters into 50.72 peices.


carbon kevlar? are you fucking retarded? GTFO.

do what you want.
Aight. It looks like I'll spend a bit more on a nicer kit. Anybody know anything about KBD body kits?
