I just ordered the cuda kit for my 97 tib and was wondering if it had any good reviews on it, let me know, or if there are cons on it.

Well my friend, you might wanna look around, several folks here have some SERIOUS issues with the folks that make that kit, Shark Racing.

I mean TEAM Shark Racing.

Damnit, I mean Evo Fusion. Or is it Evo Fusion USA this week?

Spiido?

Anyways, they are notorious for BAD shipping and customer service practices, and they also have been known to send out some substandard products. The kit looks allright, but most here stay away from anything those/that company sells.

I've yet to see good fitment from a Gen1 cuda kit. Even the "Show Cars" have average fitment... Sorry.

I used to like this kit a lot. It's definitely unique.

Did you order from shark-racing? Hopefully you will get your stuff soon man!!!

keep us informed of the progress.

Moving this to exterior!

Importshark.com is a great site, but that product is still made by SR/Evo f***up/Team SR, whatever this week.

Best of luck.

^ All the Cuda kits come from SR... At least service is meant to be good at Importshark.

Here are some pics of the fitment issues I was on about...




If you're doing your car up for show, see if you can get the body-shop to do something about the gap around the headlights... Not very nice, IMHO.

EDIT* RedZ is too quick for me!

Fitment definitely isn't the best.... any shop could fix it though.
