Which body kit??

[Stu_Fraser]

Think the time has come to do some body mods, but im still undecided what to go for http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/down.gif

Its a choice of the following:

1) Vielside skirts/spats with top secret bumper and TRD wing http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/buttrock.gif

or

2) OEM skirts and spats and either a Whifbitz or Ridox front bumper with TRD wing http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

So what does everyone reckon, TBH i think either would be good, its just i keep changing my mind depending on the mood im in. One day i prefer the more standard look then the next ive completely changed my mind http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/shocked.gif

Well thats quite a hard one to answer as styling tends to be quite personal.

But i do like the Ridox kit http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Pleeeeeeaaase, don't get the Veilside kit.

[Dave3man]

I was going to say dont get Veilside skirts as they're everywhere http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Dave3man]

And i dont mean just supras have them http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Stu_Fraser]

I am swaying more towards the standard look, and the ridox kit is really sweet http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Im really liking this:

Yep, very subtle and neat.

How about the top secret wide body kit? http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Now that is very wide.
My opinion - Ridox bumper, oem skirts & spats & keep the std wing.

And Very Expensive http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

i mixed the OEM skirts with the Veilside spats, thought the OEM spats were a bit too short at the back. front end wise is very personal, Top Secret one is good, so's the Do Luck ones - look better with FMICs though.

[Stu_Fraser]

Yeah i like the look of your car Ro....... and I know what you mean about certain front ends looking better with a FMIC. Think i may just stick some oem skirts and spats on then get a FMIC, then this will give me more time to decide on the front http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Do luck bumper on Ebay. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=72206&item=7975135816&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

I prefer the Ridox kit, less common and very stylish http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[dunk shaw]

Think a big factor is quality as there are some very thin wont last very long kits etc out there.
Cant say im a massive fan of Veilside kits either but its a differant look from mine so im happy.
If you want advice on a widebody then dont do it, wait till one comes for sale and youll save a fortune http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I had Blitz side skirts (very expensive ?700) with Bomex front (?500) which didnt look bad together until i mashed the bumper.
Sorry no pickies

how did you mash the bumper dunk? mines got a chunk missing from a car park http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[Stu_Fraser]

Thats another thing about changing the front, i dont want anything too low that will smash off the ground at every opportunity http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I had a big tail out slide in the wet where a load of diesel had been spilt on a 90 degree righthander, luckily the car didnt go straight on through a fence but just slid down the road totally sideways but just caught a small grass bank which ripped a whole chunk off the bumper.
Too mashed to economically fix it.
Several cars went off there on the same evening, most ended up head on into a deep ditch so it could have been worse.

If your still undicided on the Front Stu, I would just go for the OEM side skirts and the veilside rear spats which do as "Kopite" says look better than the OEM ones which have the "stubby" tails. You should also go for the blended option which looks great. Thats how my car used to be before the TRD widebody kit.

Drop me a line and I will price the parts up for you including fitting, blending and spraying.

Blimey Dunk, I hope you managed to sue someone for that.

Stu, the Ridox kit does look nice and from what I've seen in the past, Envy's work is probably gonna be the best quality you're gonna get.

[dunk shaw]

I got off lightly and not a clue who had dumped the diesel, i guess it was a just filled up job and left cap off, it was on the exit of luckily only a 40mph ish 90 right and nothing coming the other way, not good if youd been on a m/bike.
I must have slid sideways for over 100 ft, it felt like ice no grip at all.

It only just caught the grass as well but the corner of bumper exploded.

bloody hell! i've hit diesel before as well, it's proper scary! i hate drivin past petrol stations!!
and Kev - I HAVE A NAME!!! http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
deffo agree with gettin the kit blended though, i was in 2 minds whether to get it done, decided what the hell and did it - no regrets! http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
