Whoa, nasty kits!!!

[mattzneon]

Whoa, check this out...
If you go on Ebay and search "Dodge Neon Body Kit" you'll get quite a few results... There are a few body kits on there for roughly $425-$475. That sounds great if you ask me... But I asked a question about one of the kits on Ebay... Here is their Reply...

Hello,

Just thought Id let you know, I have a kit from this seller, you can check their feedback. The only reason it is a positive is because they requested me to do so, as part of their return agreement. They get you to give them positive feedback, talk to you a coule of times about how to return it, and then never talk to you again. The kit is the biggest piece of crap you can imagine. I have taken it to numerous body shops and they all want over $1500 to fix it before they paint it. Its so thin its cracked in 3 places. You can see through it in the light. It is covered in small scratches. There is a ton of rosin and virtually no fiberglass because it is sprayed, not hand laid. And it sure as hell is not 4-5 layers like they state on their ad. It also does not fit at all. I mean it's terrible. They are not the manufacturer. They are some kids who put up some auctions, and are selling kits from some other website and never even see what they are selling. MBMotorsports is their sup!
plier. If you are thinking "But they have a lot of good feedback"! Its because they have done the same thing to others. They say they will return the kit if you give them good feedback first. Trust me. I have no reason to lie. You can check out my feedback if you want. Learn from my $545 mistake. They ahve also been suspended from ebay before. Kinda funny how often they change their ID.

Here is their ID history:

Dude this is depressing I am having real issues with finding a bodykit. Help! These places on the net are a trip... with shipping and quality. There are no pro shops here in Dallas.

[mattzneon]

Hmmm...
Well I find that hard to believe there are no pro-shops in Dallas... That is a big ass city! But hey, none here in the VA either, just a sniper or two. Heh.
Well I know what'chu mean... Shippin' and all. That one company is $425 + $130 shipped... Not bad price at all! I'ma dig into their quality further... I seriously do not think it can be that bad, c'mon now... The buddy club? That kit is notorious! LoL!

Matt

[mattzneon]

Alright...
I emailed a few of that person's buyers... They, for the most part, agree. They say the kits are alright, but nothin' special and that they are somewhat thin...
So options... Save up a bit more money and go with a nicer kit (i.e. xenon or wings west, they're polyurathane) or buy his stuff. Hmmm... Might save up some more unless someone else has more options.

I know... if it's not the price it's the quality. I don't know... I kinda want something different. Everybody has a WW or Xenon kit and they are not the greatest looking kits out there. I might end up with a fiberglass kit just because i want something different. perhaps i will do the sides in either the WW or xenon that seems to be the most fragile area on my car... my drive way has taken out my splash guards.

[mattzneon]

Exactly mami!
I like the rear and the sides... They are hot!! The front, I may end up goin' fiberglass. If I crack it, oh well, i get a new one. LoL! I think I may end up goin' with that inexpensive kit on Ebay... The character I described above. I emailed several of the people he has made sales to and i've seen mostly good responses on him... So, I think I may do that.
I've the money right now for the kit, but I'ma wait 'till I get some other things covered... i.e. insurance! LoL!
