Autobahn Body from Shine!!

After long time of research!!!

My car finally getting changed this week. also weather is getting better here,

Many ppl questioned about moulding on Shine kits..

Just really minimal body work needed side marker areas and rest part was

pretty much direct fit.

side skirts also fit fine without any moulding.

shine kit plus TEIN FLEX with EDFC

paid about 1300 for installation fee.

Wish me luck on this set up in MA...(many puthalls and shiitty road)

Im picking up my car this friday!

I'll upload mucho pictures then!

I just got mine from Shine Auto from last week too! Fitment is close to perfect, one of the best replica making companies out there.

haha nice nice!! yeah i was pretty surprised too.

i was pretty worried about fiberglass material(duraflex kinda..) but

guess there is definitly different between fiberglass and hybrid PFR(?)

I know it doesn have as good quality as genuine autobahn parts but

sure it would look as awesome as the genuine one lol

My car was involved in an accident so instead of going with OEM, I just bought the Autobahn kit for it instead. Unfortunately, Shine Auto don't have the rear bumper to the Autobahn...

The front bumper is very low to the ground so be very careful when driving up or down an elevated entrance. I have the MS sides and it's an inch or more lower than the autobahn front. My car got stranded during that huge snow storm we had several months ago because my bumper was plowing all the snow.

You also have to make sure that the shop does a good job of prepping the material for painting. After having mine for a little over a year spider cracks have started to appear just in front of the headlights.

Thanks for good advises!

yeah.. i was worried about that too.

the shop is pretty well known around central mass.

I'll def. keep that advice in mind though.
