ON Widebody kits: what to look for etc.

I am in the market for a decent widebody kit, such as the kemp-style from mariah, but I am wary as to what is good in value vs. cost of product. possibly someone has a list of comparable manufacturers, or this thread could be a decent composite...

blackdragonauto.com should give you a hint of different styles, as far as pricing and what other options there are, idk, but there's plenty of threads around.

black dragon has darn near everything, except for what i am looking- sorry longing for... they do have good $ on items from seals,trim,weatherstrip,bushings,body etc., but they don't have extreme bodykits unless you want 'foreigner sing-along' inspired louvers. mariah.com has the best i've seen and pretty much what I am looking for (GTO kit) but I am in the KINGSTON, ONTARIO area and not in ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA which is a major difference in partsourcing. From Toronto to Ottawa, I haven't found anything outside of your basic stick-on bolt-on shop selling honda wings...

this is my Question rephrased for those that just wanna up their post count...

I have never personally seen any decent kits other that one in a wrecking yard 7 years ago that was toast. It was Mariah-looking, all fibreglass (not sic eh?...) and seemed sturdy enough. I want to know, if there are companies to avoid due to poor quality, or difficulty of assembly etc.

I would like to find a used kit, maybe even a whole car with one on it, in ONTARIO

...Canada..
