How is the Apex kit so cheap?

How can body-kit.com seriously offer the full apex kit, w/ hood, grill and spoiler for 850 including shipping?? it feels so sketchy.. but seems like the deal of a life time..

dont buy it from body-kit.com it will take years for the kit to reach you and when it does it might not be thr right one. go to www.sharkracing.com they will sell the same kit but it's stateside so the shipping is a lot quicker.

from persnal experience, i'd have to say, you get what you pay for. i had the apex kit and i will say that i will never buy another fiberglass kit from ABK. they make the kits too thin and fragile. if you purchase from them, make sure its that HPP plastic material (havent really heard anything bad about it). the fiberglass kits are too fragile and the fitment isnt even good. good luck getting one that fits good.

Plus, Accolade claims to base their prices on availability of the kits so the prices tend to fluctuate. Keep watching that price tag and see if it goes higher.

Guess I am the first that loves it :P. Apex body kit is nice, don't drive like an ***, and it will last you, race your car and treat your car like a piece of dirt, it gets back at you :P. That's all, as long as you do not drive like an idiot fiber will last you a long time. Know where to drive, and how to drive in those areas and you'll be okay.

Yeah.. i'm hearin everyone.. There is a real price diff between sharkracing and body-kit.com right now tho.. The kit is HPP Plastic too. sharkracing gives half the package and charges 1100.. i mean, if 850 includes shipping and i'm not in a hurry, any other reason for worrying?

my mistake, Sharkracing is offering the hood, grill, and spoiler... the price is 1200 plus shipping..

is it worth it to pay 350 plus shipping more to get it from the US over body-kit.com??

i order from sharkracing and their quality is SUperBAd... it took them 7monthsfor it to get here< and every time i called they were in some type of meeting... evo5 spoiler with a LED when i got it, it was a evo6 .... then i had to pay for restocking fee's because of their mistake!! i also order a front bumper-not only is it overpriced but it was paper thin and i had to get it refiberglassed...

Your car in the registery says: "Apex Body Kit 2000 USD"

If you paid 2000USD, then they probably gave you triple the thickness of fiberglass.. Or you got ripped off
