HI Guys im looking at ordering a kent style kit from www.bodykitskingdom.com.au and i have been told by the owner that it is a direct bolt on with no mods needed to the kit. Does anyone have any experence with this kit and able to confirm that this is correct, i dont want this to end up in a $3000 blow out if its not a direct bolt on.

No replica body kits will be direct bolt-on. You should invest more on a reputable professional shop to fit and paint the body kit, then you should be fine.

They are about the same price as Carmate, so I am guessing they are pretty similar in terms of quality.

Good luck.

Definitely not! They won't match anymore. Better off with a full kit.

If you want to drop it really low and worry about scrapping alot, just get a lip kit.

I have lots of scrapes and stone chips over the front bar so it needs a respray and it looks like someone has brushed the back bar there is some fine scratches like a metal brush has been used to clean it just under the skylune lable on the back bar so i need to have resprays done to clean it up so i figured the kit would be a good idea, are you able to point me to any good kit sellers that have direct bolt ons?

PS

The scrapes where not my fault, there when i bought it and i had a truck run over a hub cap crush it and spray it out over my car on the F3 (i was mad)

Try HK Top Racing.

Kareem (_L8RSXY_) ordered his genuine Kenstyle full body kit from there. It costed him about AU$5500 4-5 years ago. It should be cheaper now.

OK kits done and on pics below, the skirts where a sham didn't fit may be defective out of the mold, getting them looked and and my money back on them, the OEM skirts are level with the new front and rear it looks good.

Much needed to get fitment right?

I got a vented bonnet of Paul and it fit perfect ! (once i had sanded the edges and the D bar that locks the bonnet down was too small so i had to file the FRP around it so it could lock down) but looks great. You do need to do a fair bit of prep before painting as there are pin holes and areas that need scraping out and filling and then re-prime and your good to go!

The front and rear was great nothing needed to be done went right on, the skirts didnt fit at all, he was as suprised as me i think that they where a bad set that i got the brackets where they attach to the car seem to be bend and out of shape i think it was pulled from the mould and bent or something like that, he has offerd a swap or my money back so fingers crossed its just a bad set and i can get the skirts on soon to.

I got the FRP one.

Apart from the D-shackle being too short (you can measure yours and email him and ask for the CF measurement) and see what he says.

The vent angles were not 100% perfect so i did some sanding, just ask for photos of the vents and see the angles.

Not sure if CF has same problem as FRP but it had pin holes and areas that needed filling.. If not then as long as the D-shackle thing is right size it will fit perfect, and if you happy with the vent angles then you will be very happy!!! Ill post some pics once its painted.

Oh CF is fine, no sanding, you just gotta hope it fits perfect. maybe a little cutting but its cleared so you cant sand it.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
