I have the R33 kit from ebay and the fitment sucked!!!! the back end was twisted so bad that I had to mold it in to make it fit. It was the same deal w/ the side skirts.

Mine was from westcoast spoilers. The front fit allright untill I put the lower lip on it. The lip was twisted too and it twisted the rest of the front end out.

Buddy of mine got the 34 kit from ebay. Nothing fit, parts were chipped, and the skirts were 2 " short. Be very careful who you buy from on ebay.

always look at feedback. and if you are buying a unused kit from an individual chances are they bought it and dont like the fitment. if you are going with big kit peices like r33 then spend an extra 100$ and get it from a reputible dealer. its worth it in the longrun. you can find a urethane r33 kit then the fitment will be alot better than glass. plus its easier to mold and fit.


or maybe i dont know what the hell i am talking about. body kits are whack imo! unless done right and if you are worried about saving a couple of bucks it prolly wont look right. full kits require alot of work or a shop for that show look. it usually looks like it is going to fall off. go with a lip kit
