Hey guys i am thinking of getting a makeover for my car R33 GTSt S1.... i am planning on getting a front and rear bar but the question is where to get one with good quality...everywhere i been looking is all fiberglass kits where as i seen a few plastic black ones around...where should i be looking????? i am interested in one that is NOT fiberglass and that looks good..

This question has been asked before, so try searching for it. From memory, I don't think there are any aftermarket plastic bodykits, but good luck looking anyway.

Agree. Powerplayimports can get you that kind of stuff from Japan but again its gonna be expensive.

thanks guys i did a bit of research and your right.....it does have to come from overseas.....i tried jetspeed as well they told me the same thing.....the cheapest one i found was $2000 for just the front bar....damn i wish sydney would have some sort of importer of these kits so it would be cheaper.....but any way it looks like i might just have to go fiberglass i just hope it doesn't break in a few months

Most OEM bars are actually made of PU (polyurethane) and although there are advantages like shock absorption there are a few downsides. For instance polyurethane can be harder to repair, moulds are more complex and cost more which increases part cost, harder to modify for fitting. The hardest part of selling bodykits for R33's is that series 1 and 2 are slightly different in the front end which makes trying to design a bar that fits both challenging to say the least. This might sound like a sales pitch as I sell fibreglass bodykits, however I have numerous PU suppliers but both styles available and cost has led us to selling fibreglass. I believe that bodykits are very cheap these days. Some people are still charging excess of $1000 for very average fitting kits which fit just as good as the dirt cheap ones. Having said that though, buyers need to be aware that every car is different and might have previous damage that can affect fitment.
