just remember, you may have to chop metal off your front bar.

Dont cut that front radiator support at all!!! Its there for a reason, there was a big thread on Bodgy kits with cut front supports, go look it up and you will soon change your mind

i was probaly the first R33 that Jetspeed ever put a kit on.

This was a while ago, i wasnt happy with the results and their professionalism (i.e lack of).

Things mite have changed since then, but i doubt it.

Got it for my Lancer GSR, you can kinda see it in my avatar..

Carmate are the distributor's to almost all car places that sell these bonnets..

i thought JetSpeed supplies their kits to Carmate

I was only talking about the carbon fibre bonnets....

you are correct, nothing has changed

on the other hand, I got my CF bonnet from carmate also, top blokes really helpful.. even tho they said they had one in stock and didn't and I had to wait 2 weeks (box was labelled CF and it was fibreglass) it's top quality.. They import most of their stuff.

- negatory

[<<<aZn_RoMeO>>>]

huh?

isn't it?

i kno stuff like Wings & Bonnet Jetspeed doesn't supply becoz they import themselves as well.

But what about Front bars, n side skirts n stuff? Doesn't Jetspeed make it for em?

[CONAN]

carmate bodykits are spray painted by a friend of mine, and im just warning ya, its one helluva bodgy job that he does..

its a backyard thingo..

i guess carmate cuts sum cost that way?

[<<<aZn_RoMeO>>>]

u mean the primer? or the actuall paint?

Has anyone bought bodykits from jetspeed or carmate off the shelf n bring home to do u'rself? is it just me that their stuff is realli crap? u have the sand and file down lumps, fill in holes, sand down again then prime Again! but then still, most of the time it doesn't fit properly. Anyone else with this problem?

jetspeed didnt do any of the prep work on my kit, it was done by someone else, and they did a very good job and took alot of care. They also hate Jetspeed.

My kit sagged, was gaps....later i realised why they refused to give me a Jetspeed sticker (i didnt know shit at the time), they didnt want there bad workmanship displayed for all to see.

The kits dont kit properly because they are made poorly to start with.

Jetspeed make this particular rear bar for hondas, any honda, and from the many MANY cars in my area that have that rear bar, it looks like its One Size Fits all job.

Not uncommong for gaps measuring in INCHES, but this may also have something to do with the buyer and how cheap they are.
