I was thinking about getting this kit cause it's really cheap on the internet right now. Does anybody have this kit or know about it? I know most kits have to be slightly modified for perfect fitment. Just looking for some answers before I order it. Thanks.

IMO...it looks too much like an SRT-4 Neon. Also, if you do get this kit...please do forced induction. It's not going to look all that great without either some mesh wire, or turbo piping in there.

true, thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind.

Yea, the giant empty holes on the sides are actually for a fog light kit. They sell them separately.

I can't say I'm a fan of that kit. The front doesn't flow quite right. How much cheaper is that kit than say the five axis?

Just from looking at a few websites its about $300-400 cheaper than the five axis kit. It's on ebay though for really cheap. $420!!!

i have been down this road before. Yes the kit will be cheaper but 9 times out of 10 the fitment will suck so bad. So you will end up paying a body man the extra money that you saved to make the bumpers fit and they will have to spend a few hours working the bumpers just because the quality just usally sucks that bad

dont buy a kit if its that cheap.10 out 10 it will not fit rite at all unless u r going to mold it in...i had a front bumper i had to do for a member over here ,the front bumper was cut 1 inch shorter on one side under the headlight,i had to cut the top part of the oem bumper and mold onto the bottom part of the fiber glass bumper...hell no will i ever do that again..imope(in my own personal experince)

imope, that might catch on now to everyone saying that.....remeber i started it first!!!!l..lol

Cheap kits give cheap results... Save up and purchase a quality urethane kit that was actually designed for your car. Will give you better results and less headache in the end.

thanks for all the advice guys. I'll keep all of this in mind. Yea, it's true you get what you pay for. I figured that out when I bought a $45 CAI from ebay. Had to modify the air flow sensor hole to get it to fit right.

so where should we look for a good body kit? other than a kaminari?

and I'm talking body kit, not a lip kit.
