hey sup guys...
i was browsing a site a friend told me he was going to get a body kit from, and while i was there i checked for rx body kits, and all i could say is WOW... these guys have FULL carbon fiber body kits for 1750, GTC fronts for $300.. and whatnot!!!

Bro...you're makin it awful tough for anyone to comment here, since no one knows what website you're talking about...

But as a general rule of thumb, you get what you pay for.

Lots of ppl on the forum have experience w/ $200 bumpers and sideskirts, etc... and needless to say, they ended up paying the difference between the normal price and what they payed in just getting them to fit right...

so fitment, as well as quality of material all come w/ their price

last thing...im real curious how you can prep a carbon fiber bumper to fit properly... cuz you can't exactly shave/cut/sand carbon fiber, can you??

well, i know that these knock offs are prone to breaking and all, but those guys are huge.... they have body kits for almost every car around... and not only b/kits.
Thats why i posted this... cause they really seem to do quite a good job with their stuff.

in addition.... they have body kits for the 7 i've never seen before... weird!

souroull

they even claim that they have a true vertical lambo door kit.... hmmm
anyone ever head/bought from these guys before?

neofreak

or go from a more reputable source like importfan:
front: 249
sides: 199
back: none?

but anyway, i've heard good and bad about extremedimensions... search for it and you'll see

souroull

Umm...im hoping Louis was being sarcastic... Ppl on the forum have mentioned time and time again how their parts from Importfan had major fitment issues...

again..you get what you pay for

I'm not tryin to judge you bro...but seeing that you've hardly got any posts, im guessing you're new to the whole FD scene? If so, lemme give you a lil advice that I learned REAL quick -- the hard way, might I add

If you cut corners trying to keep costs down w/ your FD, YOU WILL PAY. DEARLY. Seriously man. That doesn't mean go buy the most expensive thing only lol...we're all broke as it is. But spending the extra dough on *quality* parts is waayyy worth it...both immediately and in the long run

Having said that, if you still want a quality kit and not worry about fitment issues, I would stick to these 2 companies

1) RotaryExtreme... (www.rotaryextreme.com) which makes prob. the best fiberglass replicas you can buy. period.

2) VIS Racing (www.visracing.com). Go under japanese aero fashion, go to the FD, and I believe it's called the Magnum kit (what they call their GTC replica). But don't buy their fiberglass kit. Special order the polyfiber one (it's as light as fiberglass, but sooo much more durable and flexible like urethane). You gotta request it by phone. You will be shocked at how competitive their prices are...and will not be disappointed

That's just my $0.02

i bought a Mazdaspeed GTC front bumper from imoprt fan. The fitiment wasent all that bad. I needed to sand it a bit to get the hood to close properly, but that was it. for $250 ($359 to my door) it is a great front end and i have no complaints.
