Is it for real... If it is I would buy one in a heart beat...!! I wonder just because I could never find one any other place... If you know who makes a wide body kit please let me know!! I am getting my christmas bonus and it should be around 2500 bucks and I would buy one so fast

 

This site http://www.body-kitz.com/ shows a body kit that appears to be the same as what you linked. They also have numerous others as well. Check it out

 

Thanks I will def check it out!!

 

i wish i had a 1500 to drop on that...i love taht kit...sigh

 

Nice kit but I would be very cautious on ebay. He stated that the kit is something like reinforced fiberglass.

You should always get a polyurethane body kit, not fiberglass.

 

I've seen the xB in the pics on the freeway many times. Gotta be very cautious with eBay though.

 

Yea,,, I like the Snyper Wide Body Kit it looks pretty sick but instead of the fender flares I would get Carbon Fiber Fender Flares, along with a CF Hood and a bBist CF Type II Spoiler, that would be sick!! I am going to get this stuff a.s.a.p.!!

If I do i will buy it on body-kitz.com... Does anybody know if it is fiberglass or polyeurethane? Thanks...

 

It's fiberglass on that site too.

I wouldn't recomend fiberglass because the first hard thing you hit or rub on will crack it. Polyurethane is what your stock bumber is made of and it can bend and will almost never crack.

I have the type II spoiler in CF, but I dont think steve is making it in CF anymore, just fiberglass.

Also with any widebody kit you wouldnt be able to get CF fender Flared because Widebody kits come with new fenders. Thats what maked it widebody.

Unless you could fabricate the widebody fender in CF, but I suppose that would cost a lot.

 

This kit is listed as glass on the body-kitz site as well. Seems alot of kits are glass. the K1 style (bought off E-bay...the real deal??...who knows) lip kit I installed yesterday is glass. i dont really see anything wrong with a glass kit as long as it is made well and fits properly. Indeed if it doesn't it is easier to modify the glass kit so it does fit than it is to mod a plastic kit. Glass kits are more prone to damage than plastics...I suggest not hitting things with them. My lip kit was mediocre in fitment all except the front bumper lip which was well made and fit well. The Side skirts and rear bumper lip took a total of 8 hours of modification, bodywork and fitment in order for them to mount well and look right (involved using both my factory side skirts and rear bumper lip pieces for mounting...so much for saving those for possible later reinstall:/). I would be really scared of something like the widebody kit linked above. if it is crap, what are the costs of returning it. Are there restocking fees?? How much is 2 way shipping. Often you can spend $100's just looking at some guys trash in order to return it. Always a risk. Even riskier with an ebay auction. I have looked at maybe 40 kits for different cars over the years and have only ever seen 2 that really were bolt on nice (almost). They were a JDM conversion nose for some acura a long time ago and a factory Ford supplied saleen kit for a Mustang. These both took some work to really make they fit excellently but were very nice overall (the Saleen kit took about 4-5 hours of minor mods for fitment and gave truble in the paint department due to high levels of release agent in the surface...paint doesn't like that). All the rest varied from mediocre (like my lip kit) to pure garbage that owners returned as great expense. One kid spent $3200 for a bolt on JDM nose conversion for his Integra. The hood looked like paper machete molded by a 5 year old, the side airdams were worse as was the rear bumper lower overlay. He could have returned it and only spent $750 in shipping and restocking fees for the trouble Instead we threw away the hood and the skirts and used the included core support fenders and front bumper along with a CF hood and other skirts purchased elsewhere. Big money that should have been included in the kit he bought. Moral of the story is, know what the return terms are (and if they are bad be even more suspect) and be very suspect of any body kit unless you have seen it and talked to the installer to see what it took to make it that way.

 

Yeah, Ive sworn off body kits, so much trouble and money.

Although I hear NSPTommys Fab Kit fits like a glove, thats the only kit I would put on my car.

 

The 2 widebody kits of which you speak dont include fenders proper. They include flares that would need to be attached and moulded (or maybe doublesstick taped (snyper) to the existing steel fenders and 1/4 panels. Moulding glass to steel is yet another pitfall of body kits. Different expansion characteristics of the steel and glassand urethane can cause all those hours of custom body work to fail Better to stay with pieces that can be bolted or doublestick taped in place so they can be removed later if need be, and seams between will allow some expansion etc without cracking moulded bodywork.

thats where i get bodykits

 

AIT Racing makes that kit. I bought their cf hood a while ago and I love it and the quality is top notch. I'm also buying their cf wing in a few months, they seem like a fairly decent company as far as I'm concerned, definately better than those cheapy kits you find on ebay.

 

What is there link?

Try there. They have the goods...

 

just get a clear bra on the front bumper to protect from pitting
