Hi all

I've got a R32 gts-4 it has a jet speed FINAL KONNEXION Body-Kit but I don't like the look of the side skirts . I've looked around and found a set that I like on carmate.com. Has any got them or other kits from them what do you think and how do they fit?

ive delt with jetspeed and carmate

jetspeed sent me the wrong parts, took me 4months to get my money back, they didnt even send the correct sum of cash back to me, they sent LESS, and i couldnt be bothered arguing after 4months.

carmates body kits came to me, damaged, didnt fit, like it was off a completely different car,i took to them, they tried to fix it and f**ked it up, which i had to wait a week for them to refibreglass it, i could of fixed it my self, but when i pay for something to fit on a car, i expect it to.

i wont be buying anything off them again lol

i havnt delt with carmate...but alot of ppl say they are good...and some....(like above) say they are absolutely rubbish.

if i was u i would call them up and make em garentee perfection in their products.

better yet fax them a contract stating they will pay for all damaged goods which u aint at fault for. get them to sign it...and fax a copy back to u.

wat can u lose huh:)

I bought a 32gtr copy for my gtst from Carmate. Guys were really friendly. Had to do some minor adjustments here and there but all in all i was happy with the way it turned out. Only 300bucks, you get what you pay for and for what i wanted at the time it was perfect.

I got a 400R front bar from them. It fit nicely although had to be cut out so that the intercooler piping would fit. This isnt poor quality of the bar - its just the design of my piping. I'm happy with the quality, its relatively strong, and hasnt cracked up in some particularly harsh conditions.

Bodykits are a touch and go thing, they are fiberglass and come out of moulds. The moulds do suffer from wear and tear.

I have brought many products from carmate for both myself and clients and I have never had a problem.

Bodykits are not a direct bolt on product theres always some kind of modifying.

It took 8 kilos of resin to fit my all the gear to my car, but it was my car.

My advice to you guys, unless you know what you are doing have your kit fitted professionaly and let them buy the kit! They should know who are distrubuting good kits.

If anyone has problems with kits please pm I will help solve your problems.

yup. and if you can't, thats wrong. a kit should be made to fit the car it is intended for perfectly. no if's but's or maybes.

maybe they should call the copy kits 'almost bodykits'. Seems not many people ever get perfect copy kits or maybe its just those who don't get a good kit end up venting their frustration on here / ns etc.

I purchased a front lip from CarMate... didn't really care about the quality or the fitment as we would've "made it fit"...

I needed it purely to protect my OEM front bar from anymore driveway damage - the OK product I received was a bonus.

Gotta say, I agree.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
