What do you guys think of this kit, I like it, its a rip of off the Veilside kit, but Erebuni makes it so much cheaper its sellin for $581 (so its about a grand cheaper than the veilside)

Thats an ugly bodykit... destroys the FD! I would suggest maybe c-west? Or even the 99' spec kits are nice also... without the wing of course! There are nice bodykits out there for the FD!
alright I like this one better.... (without the rear bumper...... I'm gonna leave that stock with some 99 tail lights, maybe the re amemiya tail light cover, and a diffuser)

That is a c-west body kit... to be honest, personal opinion I guess, but if your going to get a kit, get it or don't. I dislike our people have front bumpers and that it or just sideskirts or something... get everything or nothing. But like the bodykit... 99' tail lights go well with anything
I would just stick with the 99' spec tail lights, don't worry about the re amemiya cover.
Dennis,

Save your 500 dollars and invest it towards some OEM side skirts and updated lights for your front bumper. Take a look at Rage's car. It's a fine example of a clean and customized stock bodied car with tasteful aftermrket accents. granted, he has splurged by importing wheels, seats and installing an N1 hood, but the same basic effect can be acheived quite affordably. You don't need to squander your money on a kit that is gauranteed to fit like ***, require 2-3K to paint properly and look cheap. Tweak out what you have, accent it then start saving up for some new (tasteful) wheels.

just do some searching in the threads an you will find some beautiful kits for the fd. dont be cheap on your decision, you get what you pay for. you dont want to have to do a bunch of fiberglass work to make the kit fit just cause you wanted to save a couple bucks. it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a couple of layers of fiberglass on the backside of the kit to make it stronger, or use some fumed silica with fiberglass resin. it is a little cleaner and easier to use just add it to the resin and paint it on.
Not to mention the fact that what you try to save buying a cheaper bodykit you will proabably end up spending twice as much at the bodyshop trying to get it to fit straight or for that fact even look half decent.
Only my opinion thou is: 99 spec front, oem sideskirt, RE rear diffuser & 99 spec rear lights. Cant go wrong with that.

If I owned an FD, I'd only go one of two ways. I'd either go 99 Spec or Burnout. If you haven't seen the burnout kit, search it, it's the best kit I've seen for the FD ever

I agree with KJL Designs opinion. Sometimes when you go the cheaper route for parts for your car, you'll end up paying for it later on. Fitment issues means more work at the bodyshop. I had the 3 piece wing from Erebuni, that I decided not to go with, because I felt it did not look right. The wing itself needed a lot of prep work before it could be painted. I went with the stock wing. When I got that, it was smooth, with no problems, which equaled cheaper bodywork. There are cases where you can get good deals on parts, but for this car its worth saving up the money to get good quality body kit parts. If you choose a kit that really takes away from the lines of the 7, thats your choice. Personally I like a simple look, something that accents the car. If the kit that I wanted for my car was to expensive and I knew I would never be able to afford it, I would probably keep it stock rather then destroy it by putting a cheap kit on it. Just my opinion.
Alright, I mean you guys do make sence, why put **** on a car if you can make it beautiful, I'm not trying to sound cheap or nething, cuz if I like someth8in I'll buy it.. I have the money, but I checked out the shineautoproject group buy section and actually found 2 kits I really really like, and I will buy with in a month or so hopefully be4 it gets butt *** cold here in chicago... and they are either the burnout kit or the Sanai works kit, need help deciding which one tho...

It's actually kind of funny considering you went from loving the erebuni/veilside kit to then considering the C-west kit, then moved on to a 99 spec look, and now you're trying to settle for the Sanai or Burnout all within a matter of days. It really doesn't seem like you can make any decisions for yourself and keep changing your mind according to what everyone on this forum is saying.
Lame, IMO.
Man that Eurobuni/veil side kit looks like a Cat Fish!!! Eurobuni is absolute CRAP. Take it from someone who has worked with fiberglass. Those guys are just like every other Ebay Fiberglass kit. they use junk materials and to speed things up they add lots of hardner which makes the resin brittle. they cut corners and make their bumpers thin and don't use any fabric backing.
Might I suggest the 99 spec bumper and a sleek set of feed side skirts to complement the front lip.
Check out my fiberglass fenders I made. Lighter and stronger than the factory fenders. I stood on one while it was on the ground flat. Plus no air vent seam.
