Here's a question: Why get the body kit + lips + side skirts anyways? They certainly don't add Horsepower.,,

fast and the furious yoo.

Body kits are ghey.

Best bet is to join a forum for your specific car. They'll let you know which kit is the best. I always have my items shipped to UPS store in the US and go pick it up.

Otherwise get them shipped via postal service, much cheaper than UPS as they can add massive brokerage fees. Most places will fudge the amount so your rates will be lower if you just ask.

Good luck.

Bodykits are not necessarily 'ghey'.

One reason I can see people adding it is because they are bored with thier car and adding a bodykit can refresh that 'new car' feeling without actually having to buy a new car. It can allow the owner to love thier car all over again.

The OP never mention what car or what style of bodykit. The Veilside Combat style kits that are agressive..yes, those are plain stupid. A subtle bodykit that makes people look twice at whether the car has a kit or not..is much better.

Take the 1st generation Acura TSX for example. The OEM bodykit for that car isn't overly agressive yet it add some 'ooomph' to the style.

true, but some are real slick. I'll post a pick latter if i can of mine. I'm not into the aggressive look. Sounds horrible for younger guys but i get a lot of complimants from the 25-50 crowd.

Bodykits, lips and skirts can be done tasteful too and I'm sure everyone knows it is not done for performance. Just to make your car a little different than OEM. It's just too bad so many people take it a bit to far and do stupid things when it comes to modding their cars. Whatever you do, don't put a stupid rear wing. Once I saw a honda civic hatchback with one installed on the top of his car. Reminded me of one of those shopping carts with a tall pole cause I could see the guy circle around the parking lot looking for a parking spot

What kind of car is this for? I have a friend of mine who sells fibre glass replicas for VW/Audi and he also has access to other molds too.

rfd as you can see, is not really the "best" place to ask about body skirts, since everything is about saving money here.

Your best bet is to join the specific forum of the make of your car, then check out where everyone's getting their kits, and possibly join in on group buys.

*btw i support kits all the way

don't understand why ppl post questions now-a-days and not provide us
any futher backgrounds? are ppl embarass to tell others what they drive but
at the same time expect perfect answers?

at lease let us know the year of the car, make, model, what type of style you want? OEM looking, ultra flaring, sleeper, etc....

j/ a little rant....


anywayz, if you have like Acura, Honda, Mazda .....
NextMOD is pretty well known and has good reputation w/ body kits (Authentic and/or replica), quality wise and price wise.... and
they are local too. IMO..
