Bodykits

[_MRR33]

Hey,

I was just wondering is fitting a bodykit onto a R33 GTS-T hard to do?

Any tips on doing it, would be great!

Meaning? Diffrent company's have a diffrent fit or..?

It's a Veiside Copy that I am getting off someone, he orderd it from Sydney but now needs to sell it, arrives in Brisbane on Friday.

Copies usually require some trimming and will be much harder to fit than if you bought a real Veilside kit.

Ah alright, thanks for that. What sort of trimming will be needed, any examples?

Like he said, it depends on the quality of the kit.

All copies will most likely need some sort of mods to fit. Mine was relatively easy to fit, but its still not perfect close up.

Some kits require you to trim your front bar reinforcement as well. Not sure if the veilside does. Mine didnt.

copied or flopped kits will require a bit of a trim, simple answer fibreglass shrinks .... thats all i ment its simple just need to fit it to the car, when your happy with it then you can paint it..

yeah I just spent the weekend with a mate fitting part of my kit to get it ready for weekend, $600 vertex copy for the 32, required a fair bit of chopping and cutting to get the side skirts on and a bit for the front bar as well. Mainly just the intercooler pipping got in the way for the front bar.

now I just need to get the rear bar fitted then I can spray it

but the point is, if you are getting a copy of a kit, dont expectit to just bolt straight on with no problems..

and you might find some rust under your old kit.. like I did

reciprocating saw and die grinder are the best for these copy kits
