I'll probly get flamed but....
 
Now I know about 80% of the things that come off of eBay is junk. But I came across this lip kit for about 250 shipped. I know "you get what you pay for" but I figure for only 250 bucks why not try. Who knows maybe i'll get lucky. I have bought a lip off of eBay for my old del sol for like 80 dollars and it fit pretty good. If anybody else has tried it let me know http://iphone.ebay.com/Pages/ViewIte...496355&emvcc=0


Btw if link doesn't work I'll fix it when I get home from work

The link for those who are not on an iPhone is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=310220496355

:D:

As for the kit, I dunno... to be honest, the pics look like it is already sagging but it may be just bad photography.

It's ebay. I'd be insanely wary. But if you are willing to lose the money testing it out, then go for it.

Just don't expect greatness and I think you will be fine.

pretty sure some guys have tried this kit out and it was just about unworkable

I believe thejew89 has this kit, maybe send him a message. Here's a pic from his profile:

Thanks. From the distance that don't look tooo bad. Does anyone know what brand this is a copy of?

Aipex8 06-02-2010 04:06 PM

sides and rear are INGS, and the front is based on the Burnout kit, but not an exact replica.

You should get this kit, and then take it to that body shop that totally ruined that guys 350Z with drywall screws and crappy paint.....anyone have a link to that thread?

08blue6r 06-02-2010 06:01 PM

ive read that thread....but what does that have to do with what i asked??

Atilla 06-02-2010 06:08 PM

sweet mother of God...please don't.

If the picture of the actual products look like they're sagging there's a good chance that the product will probably SAG. I mean shit, the side skirts in the picture look like they're suffering from depression.

From the ebay link - the front is a knock off of the KDV Burnout Kit II, The sides are a knock off of the Shit In A Bag bodykit(aka, unknown), and the rears are knock off fairings from the Ings +1 kit. The kit looks like something i made after too many drinks on a friday...tbh


My suggestion: Save your money - if you're going to purchase knock offs - i recommend googling Shine Autoproject. Ken has supplied more than a few forum members on this board as well as other forums. I currently own their version of the kdv burnout II kit too. Fitment was almost spot on (9/10 on most places) and pretty durable.

Otherwise - save your money and purchase the real thing.

08blue6r 06-02-2010 06:17 PM

haha. well, it doesnt look as decent as it did on the iphone at work...i really like the look of the lips. ill look up shine. what is a good sideskirt and rear that would look ok with it?

Atilla 06-02-2010 06:33 PM

If you like simple - just get the full burnout II kit.

If you wanna go for style points you could always try checkin' out the bodykit's thread in the exterior forums. Lot's of useful info.

08blue6r 06-02-2010 07:57 PM

thanks for the info...im now savin up for the full burnout II kit.

limpbozkit 07-05-2011 12:48 AM

THREAD RESURRECTION! Has anyone on this forum ordered this kit? It's still available on ebay so there has to be people buying them? I'm just curious about the rear flares that mount by where the exhaust exits the rear bumper.

Holy crap, i thought it was only a month old until you posted and the 11 in the date popped out at me. Jeeesh.

I thought the Jew's looked pretty decent, but I'm pretty sure I remember him saying he had major fitment issues.
