i have installed many bodykits on my cars and friends, every urethane kit i ahve worked with fit almost perfectly withought much work, but fiberglass kits are a nightmare, i will never install another as long as i live

so what am i getting myself into on this one guys....its my first time installing and im doing it with a friend who has some knowledge of it...so any help would be great

i called it is fiberglass (but hella strong they showed me a pic of the guys twisting it up and it didnt crack lol) course i might not do that to my kit...might run it over a few times to make it fit my car lol but not twist it..hahaa

Dark Syde Racer · #10 10-31-2002, 04:47 PM

and do you guys think its ugly...i think its a diff kit (not many i have seen especially around here)...whats your opinion on the kit

dfarres · #11 10-31-2002, 05:36 PM

It's ok.... I wouldn't buy it, but that's me. If u like it, it shouldn't matter. It's just kinda boxey IMO.

slammed89civic · #12 10-31-2002, 05:49 PM

i thin it looks decent, it is a kit i havent seen many times, i dont think its too boxy....our cars are pretty boxy to began with, so a boxy bumper doesnt matter, the wings west bumper is boxy as hell...but everyone including myself has it........im personally going with the "kombat" front bumper (in the mail as we speak) ...that bumper is SICK

i think the kit looks nice, but it does have 2 spots for exhaust in the rear bumper, which kinda sux.

Dark Syde Racer · #14 10-31-2002, 06:55 PM

well i am running my license plate on the driver side exhaust area and dumping my exhaust out the pass. side so shouldnt matter too much...i talked to the company that makes it and said i do need to drill the holes but all in all it match's up pretty good..they said not many customers have complaints about it..so thats a good thing i guess...how much time do you think it should take to put this kit on...
