Help me pick a body kit. PLEASE!

I really want a body kit but I dont know which ones are good quality. I am looking for both bumpers and side skirts. I was interested in the Lancer Walker kit, but I heard that it is a ****ty fit. I am not very computer inclined so any direct links would be mighty helpfull.

Thanks alot.

Peace.

ebay has the kit for sure. or if you want www.extremedimensions.com sells the kit as well. just to let you know a memeber on this site has the kit. he said it was a total pain in the @ss to put the kit on. fitment was poor, and the quality was really bad. i think he said they had to re-fiberglass the whole kit. i know from experience (couple buddy's ordered some kits) that extemedimensions has $hitty fitment. sideskirts are way to big or short, and the bumpers are made really bad. i would understand if the kits were dirt cheap like say maybe $400-$500 shipped. but they run around $700-$850 PLUS shipping. thats alot of money considering your going to have to do MAD prep work to the kit.

this is the EVO 7 kit from import trenz. (importtrenz.com) the fitment is perfect i'd say. it is made out of fiberglass. This is the version 1 and IT is coming out with a version 2. the difference between the two is the lip portion ( 2 may have a thicker longer lip than 1). but the most important thing is...V.1 requires that the front steel reinforcement bar to be removed and V.2 doesn't. this is like a 5mph bull**** test requirement. contact import trenz @ 562-948-2900 and ask for Henry. Tell him that Tony sent you and he'll hook you up with a deal. this kit is only the front end conversion so it consist of the hood and front fascia. if you want side skirts...they also sell the kenstyle skirts too.

accolade also came out with an evo 7 kit but their's looks a little sloppy. their company reputation is too the shiets too. ( they take months to send your order and they have more defects.)

hope this helps you decide.

fitment and quality, I'd say go with the Kaminari kit. its practically OEM. (the dealership sells that kit)

Looks wise, you cant beat the Evo7 kit.
