Would you trust this body kit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475

I looked on their site and it looks decent, but they seem like they could be damaged and such. The dealers site is http://www.autobahnmotorsports.com/

Anyone work with them before?

all body kits can be damaged, you just have to try extra hard not to hit curbs and such. i don't really like the addon look to the front part, but the rest of it looks pretty good.

Do yourselves a favor, if you buy a body kit don't buy cheap crap, such as bomex etc....


Don't get fiberglass, its way to fragile. Buy a wingswest kit ( if they make one for the FC), they are plastic, they bend and flex.

Taken from auction:

Shipping is Free! WOW ! Are you sure? Yes, 100 % Free shipping to all U.S. 48 states except Hawaii and Alaska.

Handling charge, box , packaging, and insurance of $ 49 applied when you proceed to check out under ebay insurance section

Man they must think they are slick lol..yea free shipping but $49 for handling...just for that stupid trick I wouldnt even buy from them.

Uuhhh...shipped a body kit lately? Shipping for that **** runs anywhere from $100-175. $49 is just a chip towards actual shipping cost. I wouldn't bitch one bit about that.

Most sellers of bodykits charge a handling fee. You don't think those BIG *** 60"x24"x24" boxes are FREE, do you?

alias bomex isn't cheap crap io think they make arguably some of the nicest parts for the FC and wings west sucks just buy a honda and get a wings west kit and you can just blend right in with the rest.

it is erebuni's OLD kit. I bought the new erebuni kit from autobahn from ebay! It got delivered real fast and completely in tact... I just thougt I would let you know that if you want the kit, you do save quite a lot buying through them on ebay. You go to their on line store and it is $150 shipping, you end up saving close to $100 for that kit. I saved $85 for the style 11...

It looks like hes got good feedback, I'd trust it....
Actually... I probably wouldn't trust it... cause that body kit is all sorts of ugly.
