Just wondering if anyone has bought their body kits on e-bay ? if so, how was your experience, how did it fit, quality, shipping, so on . . . just want some input before I make a decision.

Thanx

majority of them are knock off kits (not original manufacturer) and they do not fit well. most of the time heavy modification to your car and/or the kit is necessary for it to fit right. yes they are cheap but they do have issues. you get what you pay for..

i got an ebay kit, all fibergalss kits need major modification before they fit right. you have to cut down the whole lip from where the mold overlapped and make them fit around your head/taillights. side skirts are a pretty easy install, rear bumper on our cars is about an hour job and front bumper is about a 2-2 1/2 hour job. side skirts i say about an hour to get both fitted perfectly. really the only major tool you need is a grinder, i found thats the easiest way to cut down the fiberglass.this is all from somebody who had never insatlled a body kit before. cheack my visulas to see it. not a hard thing to do. only regret is i would have went polyurathene. thats just becasue im low. but i'll manage. and it took about 3 weeks for them to deliver my kit.

basically tools needed are grinder(i used one with 3 inch disk), drill, (you will need 3 diffrent sized bits one for the bolts that hold the rear bumper, one for the screws that hold the bumper to the fenders/quarters, and one for the clips in the radiator support) whats ever sized sockets to get the bumpers off i believe 7mm and 14mm but don't hold me to that. a flat head screw driver, and a marker to mark where you have to cut and drill.

i had bought a "gtp" kit from bodykits.com which was pretty good fitment.. the body shop still had to make modification to it but overall was a good fit they said. I recommend checking into them before you buy from ebay. That way if they have a issue...you can just contact that business.

thanks for your input dragon. seems like a bit of work, but isn't that the fun part of modding !! (not really) anyways, your kit seeems to flow pretty good, pic with evo hood looks like the fitment near headlight is off a little, but I believe that is expected with any after market parts. I will check out bodykits.com. My only problem is I want the buddy club sides and back and the buddy club 2 front. any opinions on this set up, haven't seen it yet soo ... agian, thanks for all your input. I think I'll keep searching before buying from e-bay.
