will a levin bodykit fit on a trueno?

Postby Defective » Thu Jun 07, 2007 5:28 pm

as above really....

im looking for a kit for my AE111, but all the kit makers seem to make them for levins, no mention of trueno's...

to my untrained eye there seems to be sweet f all in the the way of differences between the two... so im thinking that it should be all good to chuck the bits on.... but....

im reckon sideskirts and endcaps/rear bumper should be easy, but is there a diference in the front end? seems like some levins may have different shaped headlight?

you can make anything fit, might just need slight modification where light meets grill section. Ones pointed, ones round. Mines for a trueno I think, but after a small amount of work you wouldn't know.

I think you'll find it's a little more involved. Nevertheless, we are still NZ agents for TOM'S and can cost one for you. However I think you'll be horryfied at the cost. (over 3k without the rear spoiler)
I have a 2nd hand BOMEX front for AE111 Trueno here which we'd let go for $400 plus freight.
