Check out ImportShark.com they've got a really good selection. I got a great price for my Zefiro Kit from Mike C there.

You could also post in his vendors forum, but ordering through the site might be better.

Just remember, you typically get what you pay for.

when it comes to body kits for our cars, when you pay cheap for a kit, the quality is just as cheap

go Zefiro.

or wait til Flyryde finishes their full kit. They already have a front bumper. check out their forum here

I would go with F2Evo bumper and all, by FlyRyde!

It should be ready in the close future, if not already.
Top looks - and unique (for now nana.gif ) , Top quality, Great price.

And the car will still be drivable, not too low.

I ordered a body kit from ebay for my 98 tib......with shipping it was just under 500....front bumber....side skirts.....and a piece that goes on the lower part of the rear bumper......i wasnt sure i would like the piece on the stock bumper......but once it was on it looks great......it was also one of the best fitting kits i have installed.....and i do a few of them (body shop).If you like i can look up vendor for you.....they sell a lot of kits on ebay.

Yeah, 90% of ebay bodykits are HORRIBLE when it comes to fitting. I've heard of kits being as much as 3-5 INCHES too long or short.
EC Customs bought TWO of them, and still didn't end up with one complete good fitting kit.
I would not take a chance with an ebay bodykit..also, your budget needs to be about $1500-2000 to cover: price of kit, shipping, fitting, mounting, and paint.

don't buy a kit and drive around with it unpainted please...and no wood screws because you tried to mount it yourself. it just looks retarded.

You either...

A. Got a Wings West kit, which is polyurethane and just a lip kit with skirts.
B. Got a imported lip kit from Korea in good shape that someone wanted to get rid of.

I'd like to see the auction for it or the name of the folks you bought it from on ebay.

FACT IS, we do not promote the sale or encourage folks to buy ripoff kits here on this site. Makes us all look bad.

Got pics of the kit?


And for the love of god folks, there's a SPELL CHECK BUILT INTO THE FORUMS, use it!!!

This is the kit... i had no issues with it. front bumPer is a 2 piece which is nice....if you ever hit the road kill....much easier to replace just the bottom of the bumPer than the whole piece.....any more questions feel free to ask!
