I have yet to see a body kit that IMPROVES upon the look of a P5 or MP3. Not a single one.

, ive noticed some kits can look horrid on certain applications but with the right stuff it can look hot, i mean look at the one on the website for accolade it looks tough, whereas the blue sedan its been thrown on looks cr@p coz its so open...

The rest of the kit, is hot i like the rear and the side skirts but i think they need to go back to the drawing table on the front... at least resize those gaps, it needs more body and less mesh

If that thing drive up behind me I think my car would actuallyget faster because it'd be scared to death of that bumper. It's hideous.

Well, life lesson, a good deal is worth what you pay for it. $1200 body kit junk. Every peice has some issuse or another. Guess jumping the gunn \ takin a risk is not always the best thing.
After looking over the kit it is just not a feasable amount of money can fix the issuses. The front bumper has poor fittment with the points behind the headlights, the peaks of the points face in towards the the car instaed of remaining flush with the lights. The OEM grillt that is suppose to fit, well, i guess if you figure that one size fits all, i meen frick i could stick a mazda 5 grill in there.
The Rear, well, lines up fine, if you are in japan, but here in canada it does not fit over the rebar that is manditory by LAW.. Hmmm.. not working their...
Now the side skits well they will maybe work, but the will still require a good chunck of repairs as they fibre glass work was only reasobale at best and has pits cracks and chips all over the kit. But don't get me wrong, every peice could be modified to fit, for a sum of money, a body shop told me it would be about 1500-2000 to fix all the errors and fittment issuse, before painting. Just dirty pool.
Well, i got hosed, but hey i guess some compaines have to make their money some how. Now if i only had the energy to fight.. hmm it is time for the angry letters to come out.
Hmmm....

excuse my threadjacking but is that an FD next to your car? If so that owner sucks for putting a door handle on the sheet metal moved from the stock bpillar doorhandle, the weather stripping doesn't even line up now.Kwijebo-=P5=- said:
