custom or off the shelf?
off the shelf, just have a look online, find one you want, and order it... any trained monkey should be able to fit it without much effort, although I'd get a paint and panel place to do it while they're matching the paint for it.

Some off the shelf kits are pretty crap, and would baffle alot of monkeys.

As a general rule, the less you pay for the kit, the more you'll pay to fit it.

considering geniune veilside is technically "off the shelf"... not all of it is cheap :D.

You get what you pay for.

Why do you want a bodykit anyway :P

cos i hate the one i have plus now that i have taken the spoiler off the ass end looks too high off the ground and needs to look lower that and the front kit has millions of stone chips the scratch on the front right side from when i bought it and i hate the round fog lamps so i figured hey just get a new kit and ya dont have to worry bout it anymore as for the side skirts i hate the fact that they crawl up towards the back

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yes you would be correct in one thing anyone can put a Kit on but not anyone can do a good job of it!! Most Kit's aren't just a matter of bolting them up alot are wrapped, twisted, don't line up etc.. So if you want a decent job done then pay's to go some where decent and pay the money..

Look at it this way, a genuine kit (toms velside etc) will be expensive, but should be a prety darn good fit, buy a cheepy you will pay a shit load for molding etc, and custom is well expensive...

Personally i'd go to Christchurch or somewhere to get it done as Dunedin places (of which there probably aren't many at all) don't seem to last long and probably wouldn't do as good a job as other places. :?

I wasn't aiming at you Holly :roll: ..
And if you read your post it sound like your asking WHERE to get a Kit from as most replies are where to get them from :wink:
If you want a good job done on getting a Kit fitted go see Dave at ABFX
he done Chris's Wide Body Civic and done a bloody good job.. He has done alot of Kit fitting and Customizing..

I've only ever come across decent ones that fit "right out of the box", and I was the monkey I was referring to :)
