AIT racing body kits... low quality..
Just got Velocity body kits from AIT Racing.. Product is not satisfy at all!!! pretty bad front rear bumper need too much prep work. My body shop sure can bondo and sand it but does all fiberglass body kit need to bondo b4 installation(my first ever bodykit pls let me no, if this is normal!!)
my body shop told me to buy duraflex, BIG MISTAKE! duraflex is fiber "reinforce polymer" not just fiber, bought this from ground dynamic they only carry fiberglass velocity kit
What should i do??

wow, please restate that in somewhat understandable language,,,
As per "what should I do?"
judging from going to Ground Dynamics site,,, DONT BUY REPLICAS if you not willing to deal with shitty *** fitment,,, every kit on the site is a knock off....

my bad,
1) Should i return it, and purchase duraflex? Since its made from fiber reinforce polymer, more flexible. but I guess duraflex will have shitty fitment too
2) the bumper is so bad that it look like refurbish to me....Does fiberglass body kits require lot of prep work? Sanding is a must! but to resurface with bondo and sand it again.
"quality and price" are always together high quality=high price, low quality=low price.. Nothing is cheap and good
thank u

Not true I have the shine sideskirts and its Duraflex it all comes down to the quality of the molds... duraflex is way different than glass,,, glass is realy rigid, and duraflex has a flexible plastic feel to it,,,

shine makes their kits in Hybrid frp this is the same material that many manufacturers such as voltex, accolade, varis, cwest, chargespeed use.. but its certainly not duraflex.

Tis true' Duraflex is a marketing ploy by extremedimensions, in itself it is not a separate material, shine does not sell extreme d. duraflex which is junk.

thank u for your reply...well the reason for me to purchase bodykits now is because my 8 hit a stupid driver cut in front of me. Initial estimate was $5200, but the dealer just told me a bad new..they think my 8 may b total lost will see what the insurance will do tomorrow.
well for now i have a good reason to return this body kit, if they will fix my 8 then i'll buy something authentic like u guys said
