Bodykits : Good fit? ANY?

Just a question I see no answers too, well, STRAIGHT answers. Are there any body kits that will basically "bolt-on"? As in..no custom body work needed?

in general if you want them to fit perfectly, then they'll have to be the real deal, not the knockoffs. Which means lots of money, like several thousand.

Sometimes when you buy a knockoff body kit, it costs more to make the kit fit than the actual kit.

NO.
There is no such thing as a "bolt-on", no-body-work body kit.
If there is such a thing, it'll look exactly like that...bolted on, not part of the car.

As to the comment of "YES" and, "AGREED", could you elaborate? The kits I was looking at were Bomex, GP sports, FC2000, and Knightsports. Corksport only lists that they sell the front bumper, but CAN get the whole Knightsports kit in. I just don't want to have to do tons of expensive molding, after spending upwards of $5,000 for the kit..

In general, you will always need to trim & adjust panels to make them fit right. That can include enlarging or drilling mounting holes, trimming on the edges, etc...

They always need painting... unless your ricer Honda Guy and just like the "ugle bondo look" on your bodykit.
