I finally got my body kit painted and installed. I 'm having mixed reactions to it though. I like it and all, but after waiting almost four months, I was hoping for a little better quality. For the most part it fits well. The vent cutouts on the hood were crappy though but they look a little better after the body shop tried to fix them. The rear bumper fitment was a ***** on top of the fact that there is no place specifically for the license plate so we had to drill into the bumper. The other problem with it is that the exhaust cutout is about 6 inches to the left of where it should be so I have to get my exhaust rerouted. The kit itself has some defects but that can probably be expected with fiberglass. All that aside though, I am mostly happy with the way it looks and it looks a hell of a lot better than big scratches down the side and a fender completely dented in. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think.

 

Here are the pics.
I still need to get it lowered and the windows tinted. Those mods as well as my intercooled turbo are upcoming.

My car is kinda dirty b/c it just rained and was still misting a little as I was taking the pictures.

 

What kind of kit is that?

 

nice work... how much did that **** run you???

 

I think the kit looks pretty tight dude, imo

 

looks like apex or zenon

 

I was thinking the Apex 1...................

 

Paint the eyelids...and is the rear bumper look abnormally big? Is it me or is it the picture?

 

I think it is a little large, but not too much more than stock. Also, I forgot to have him paint the eyelids so they're just on there as they are for now.

It's the Evo 3/Apex from SharkRacing which I doubt I'll ever order from again. It cost $1000 for the kit and I'm not sure on the install b/c I had some other body work done to take care of my accident and some hail damage so insurance basically paid for all of it.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate all the feedback and I'll try to post some more when I get it lowered and turboed.

 

Think about changing the color of the mesh up front to black, I really like the rear bumper. It will look better when the exhaust tip is visible!!

 

looks nice man .. *just a thought* paint the mesh of the ralliart grill black... overall nice car man..

 

don't like the rear at all, expecially with the licence plate light there. Cut all that **** out and you'll have a difuser kinda. Also paint the kit grills yellow to match the ralli art grill

 

hmmm...............nah.....
the grille's nice...but not the paint job...

my .02

 

oh and....lower it already!

 

The paint job on the whole car? or just the mesh on the grill?
It was black and I had him repaint it, but I didn't make myself clear on what exactly I wanted painted. But after driving it around looking all crappy and then not having it for a couple weeks I was just glad to have it back.
As far as the license plate goes, I had planned on getting one that is a lighted frame and that way there wouldn't be a big light sticking out. I would've went without the light for a while but knowing my luck I would've gotten pulled over the first day.
