HELP! Need a great fitting Body Kit

hi guys ive been wondering has anyone put a really great fitting body kit on their Ralliart?, my rrm rear bumper was a terrible fit, and a real peace of crap and i want to get a new kit, the side skirts from rrm dont even fit the ralliart so everyone dont even bother with them, any suggestions and personal experience on great fiting body kits for the RA would help me soooo much, thanks guys

From everything I've read here, as far as reviews, the only great fitting body kit is the OEM body kit.

just remember you normally get what you pay for... those fiberglass body kits are TERRIBLE... 5 times out of 10 they need serious modification adding and trimming fiberglass the other 5 out of 10 don't fit AT ALL. Stay OEM if you don't have money for fitment issues

+1. Money was not an issue for me and with all the money i put into it, it still wasnt perfect. Thats why im returning to oem. Your better getting something else to make the front look better such as lips or CF hoods. Oem is the way to go and i will never purchase another body kit.

I have a CF wind splitter and it seems to get comments and attention...i just added it to my stock Ralliart lip kit...However, Accolade has a new front lip out...it has air vents on each side and it looks nice...i don't think there would be too many fitment issues..

I have the RRM kit and personally needed to sand it a little and do a few monor things to it. NO KIT will EVER be perfect soooo goood luck on that one. Mine will be perfect before I get it painted but I still get complinments from every one it.

Now for the park of my post . That spilter must be a universal becuase it doesnt even go with the flow of the front end. I am making my own for the FRONT and REAR of my body kit.

The Evo 8 kit is a very old design, and its JDM spec, everyone knows that our fitment after this was excellent and the quality was top notch from Toms Kit on wards, this was around late 05, early 06.

I bought the full Evo 8 Accolade bodykit for my car and it is by far one of the best made kits I have ever come across there are no waves or ripples in the kit at all and while we have not yet completely fitted it to the car due to still get my car legally complinanced for the turbo(damn licensing department taking forever to process) we have fitted up the sideskirts and they fitted up perfectly and look fantastic... all bodykits will need to be sanded back does not matter who makes them... what I liked the most about the Accolade kit was to how thick and strong the kit felt it is not a light weight kit and fiberglass is meant to feel heavier than ABS as for how the rest of the kit fits I can not give you a definate answer to that but the few parts that we have put on there has not been a problem
