Personally, i wouldnt trust them as far as i could throw them
umm..the seller not the bodykit..it probably weighs a few pounds
and if you do get one of these there one thing they dont say..you better have an S5
or have some S5 mouldings..because both those have the S5 side mouldings..and on an S4 it would most likely look like ***

if i do end up getting this FC then ill probably get this kit and hope for the best. the price isnt too cheap and ive went through ALL of their comments and it seems like in the past they had communication issues but seem to have cleared it up

well fitment is going to be an issue, but if you have a decent body shop in your area they can handle it, but its going to cost you

Hey Shae. I don't know how easy it will be to do that, and I read on their auction and they dont claim responsability if they break durring shipping. FRP is known for doing that...

they would have some sort of responsibility, unless they want to get their asses beat.

if you or a friends can lay fiberglass and make it fit, then this would prob be a good way to save some money.

thats the company i went with and i bought the gp kit, its hand made and is pretty damn good. i have a few lil bubles but over all its great for the price. the fitment is almost perfect. its abou 1/4 an inch off in the front and has a lil bowing out problem in the rear but its GREAT.

the skirts fit perfect. the body kit went right up.
i just had to make Z shaped brackets to pull in the front bumper at the wheel well.

also you might have to cut your lower front fender where the kit wraps around

^ you can see it bows out a tiny bit below gas tank. i need to re-adjust

over all that company goes with a good maker and the kit turns out pretty darn good

all in all . go with the company areo_designs, they got me my kit in 10 days and there costomer servise is great. i missed the window to buy my kit for 350, they reposted it for 450. i called them up and asked them to repost it for the price i saw, they put one right back on ebay for me for 320 and i bought it from them

it will take alittle bit to get it aligned right but other then that it fit perfectly.. i just didnt take the time ..

yeah you just use existing holes. a sharpy pen . 3m tape. and a drill..

use new bolts with wide washers to remove stress at the point of the body kit.

use self boring sheet metal screws on the side skirts after drilling a hole in the fiber glass so it doesnt crack. and you might be wise to use a zip tie at the wheel well on the front bumper so you wont crack that corner if you bump something.... i go threw alot of zip ties . if not i'd crack the kit =X


rofl.. goes for any kit

i got the gps bodykit off ebay and it was pretty bad i felt the flat surfaces and i could have road a jet ski on the thing..i put bodo on the whole kit and had to sand it all just to get it to feel good it took alot of time to get to look good and fitment took a long time too

87rx7girl

who did you get it from? was it the same seller as the gp he posted?

RotaryAE86

hmmm, these kits seem to be hit and miss, maybe he got a miss?
