Carmate quality question

[Snow White34]

As some of you have had dealings with Carmate, I just wanted to ask about the quality of the kits.

I am thinking of getting the NS style lip for my R34. I wouldn't require it to be painted as I have someone that would be doing that for me.

I just wanted to know about how they fit and if there is a lot of work involved in making them fit properly (ie no gaps, etc).

Has anyone had any problems with kits bought from them??

I would look around theres heaps of kits for 34's and that one is dog ugly.

carmate owes me $100.00

carmate don't make the kits as per Jetspeed, i believe they import from HK or Taiwan. i purchased a top secret copy front bar from them (as seen in my avatar):

-fitting was good

-paint match was ok

-front bar quality was good

-but the design of the bar wasn't spot on : it sits a little too high for my liking so im getting it "modified" again. basically cut and dropped and extending the bar inwards so it sits flush up against my i/c.

below is my East Bear front lip that i originally got with the car. it will bolt onto a stock r34 front bar. its in 2 pieces at the moment because it sits rather low, repairable, you can have it for $100.00. possibly the best looking front i've ever seen on an r34. its a pity we live in australia and they have speed bumps and gutters everywhere.

ive been to carmate a few times, and on one occasion i was there, the staff walked up to my car, disregarded me, and started talking about the bodykit i had on my car, they were discussing how they could copy this part copy that part blah blah.

then guess what, they started talking photos of the sideskirts...(i never came back there), oh, once for stickers.. ahah.

i wouldnt recommend them...(i can p.m you details about the spraypainting there, not good)..

cheers
