Best fitting aftermarket body kit.

Recently was rear ended and it looks like an after market kit will be cheaper than OEM replacement parts. Figure I might as well make it look a little nicer since someone was nice enough to wreck a mint original car for me.

Anyway I'd like to know what you all think the best fitting kit is out there. Not really looking for a wide body or anything to extreme. But which manufacturer has the hands down best engineered kit for the money.

Are there any kits that require no body work/blending for the seamless look?


Thanks.

All body kits will need to be fitted to the car. Its just how much fitting/bondo/fiberglass you need. Generally Mariah and BD have great bodykits from what I hear.

I know nothing is a "direct bolt on" but that is exactly my point. Which requires the least amount of work.... I can do body work but I really do hate it so the less blocking, filling, etc... the better!
thanks...

hmmmm....I know the racing beat kits fit really well...with the least amount gaps so on so forth...but what would really look clean is a lip kit...carbon fiber...you can buy the sheets and cut them out yourself...
