had a drive of a couple of cars we installed the copies of my kit on... and they're not exactly what you'd call streetable. at the end of the day if I put the kit on my car I wouldn't be able to thrash it around like I do now, and I'd hate to be forced to baby it around for fear of ruining it.

Probably OK for a show car that'll sit n look pretty or a drift car with a workshop/sponsor backing that can afford to throw it around... but for me the impracticality kinda won in the end.

ugh... we sell the copies of the kit for $3500, fitting and painting really depends on how much prep work you want done... if its a matter of doing it ghetto (bog and rivets) then it'd be cheap... but the way we do it is to take the panel back to metal to allow the fibreglass to bond better, then prep and paint.

here's one we're doing atm:

the owner originally went to some bodyshop that did a really shocking job of it... when we got it there were more ripples on that kit than a pond on a rainy afternoon... so a lot of time was spent getting it smooth and ready for paint. Its a little different in that its getting an R34 front... but he's using the R32 wide guards, rad support and front bumper... which looks a little wierd as the R34's front is usually a lot higher than an R32... but hey, what the customer wants, the customer gets.

sure... the black one's finished, and sporting 10" wide 18" gold VS-XX's. The pics are at the workshop, so I'll post some pics up when I'm there next. It should be at autosmellon as its being built up as a show car.

oh and the kit in the pics is now sold :thanks: keep thinking I should've just put it on my car :domokun:

we do em at the workshop using the original lever assembly, relocated, so you can still release the fuel flap from inside the car. some people go ghetto n leave it off, and others leave the original one on with a step in from the wider guard to show that its a widebody.

i have 12" wide wheels on the rear on mine and could easily fit 13s, i no fitting a gtst to kit to a gtr will bump them out bit more but 3"s, iv always wonder why that is,

u got any suggestions funkymonkey
