supramkivcork Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Prepare for an onsalught of abuse if you're planning to fit that bumper. Knight racer on here have reasonable prices on their kits. I bought my ts style front bumper off them with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3LL Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 dont for gods sake fit a veilside bumper. stay stock and get a nice diffuser for the front. looks ten times better and its far more practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 yeah but i need side skirts and spats regardless, so im still looking for a decent kit manufacturer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraJames Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 One simple work from me on body kit parts from Ebay..... DONT Have had dealing with a few places, bought 2 different style (Do-Luck & Blitz) bumpers from different companies on Ebay, and both ended up in the bin. They always state "some professional fitting" may be required, I took both bumpers to a very good bodyshop and both were not even close to fitting, I mean like 4 inches out in places. Could not get my money back and the bumpers ended up in a skip..!! There is always front bumpers coming up for sale on here, and at least you can see they actually fit on the car and will be cheaper. There are not many good fitting replica kits out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Good advice from James there Nearly all of the ebay stuff will cost a large amount of money to get fitted right and the finish will still be far from perfect even with a good body shop (been there done that as have hundreds of people on here). If you're going for aftermarket kit it tends to be more cost effective to use genuine parts as they mostly have an excellent fit and finish. Your bodyshop choice will be the key though. Be careful, very careful who you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 the bumper and skirts i would like are top secret, i might just reg the body work done on the stock stuff for now and plan the kit at a later time, as im only going back to 199 silver anyway matching shouldnt be a problem later http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/carsforsale/forumpics/96%20supra%20single2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Nic or whifbitz can supply bodykits. If your getting a full respray then i would have the kit on the car first, especially if its the stock silver. It seems to be a bit hit and miss with the match if not fired from the same batch in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexJames Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My kit is from Ebay... and its about an inch to big on the top... and about half an inch to small by the lights... nothing a little bit of modifications cant fix... but then I brought cheap so I could fit it myself... I didnt expect it to fit .... its good advice here, Id listen to it unless u wanna spend ages fitting it like me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
