Help on Body Kits...

Does anyone have a preference on where or who to get a body kit from? I have one in mind, and I need a good deal. Thanks.

What body kit are you looking at getting? That would probably help a bit.

Evolutionm.net comes with a search button free of charge. This is OEM equipment, non aftermarket so this search button can be used by you too!

Accolade is the only place I can think of to get that kit through but I wouldnt recommend them to anyone. In my honest opinion I like this body kit.

Why wouldn't you recommend them? Have you heard bad stuff? Just wondering. What is the name of that kit you do like? I went to the link, and I saw the pics, just wondering what it's called

I have dealt with accolade and their products are not that great, they are very poorly made in my honest opinion, Im not at home to post pics but I will later. The body kit I showed you was a kaminari body kit. Its polyurethane instead of fiber glass holds up much better.

good recommendation evodreamer. i'm not a huge body kit person myself, but if i were to do one, it would be a kaminari kit...hands down. unek02, even though it may seem like you are spending more initially for a kaminari kit...by the time your body shop does repairs on the cracks that may (ahem) exist on a fiberglass kit due to shipping (cough cough), and then they fight with that kit b/c of fitment issues...you'll most likely be paying them more than you would for a kaminari kit which is sure to fit well and not crack.

good luck

You could always get the CF bumper from RRM, if you want to stand out, that'll do way more than any other kit out there.

so y'all think that I should just get like, a cf bumper, and maybe cf hood, stuff like that, rather than a body kit? do you think that is more sophisticated?

In my honest opinion carbon fiber bumpers just dont look right......Probably get flammed but I have seen evos with them and I just dont like they look so wrong.
