Guys,

I am thinking on getting body kit from Fibre Creation for my 'line. What do you guys think about the kits made from them? anyone has it? Hows the quality? Are the kits fit the car nicely (without going through big drama/major modification during fitting) Any comments are welcome.

Cheers,

No no and no, head over to www.teamjetspeed.com.au

A bodykit makes or breaks a car, if the bodykit is bad quality it stands out so bad. Spend the extra money on a trusted kit supplier ,not a kit made in china and very cheaply imported.

Thanks for the comments guys

appreciate it very much.

I have just rang one of teamjetspeed dealer and they said the kits from teamjetspeed are made in China. So it wont make much different from those from fibrecreation then. They all from China afterall.

I think I would rather spend more to get a higher quality kits from japan at this stage after having read and heard about those china kits that wont fit (even if it fits, its not a good fit)

But yeah...thanks very much guys for the comments...

Are you kidding me... jetspeed kits? You guys need glasses...

Ive ordered 2 jetspeed kits in my time one for a 32 one for a 33 both were over 20mm out on one side of the front bar, wouldnt meet up to the rear lights properly and the wider front guards didnt even go CLOSE to fitting, even when you bubbled them out, contorted them and tried to make the holes line up.

When I enquired about returning them for a refund or replacement I was told because they were sold through an on-seller i had buckleys to none of getting any of my money back or an exchange kit.

I'll NEVER EVER buy nor recommend a jetspeed kit again.

Oh and before someone drops the old "you mustnt have fitted it properly" comment, both kits were fitted by a panel beater from a respected company on the gold coast by the name of max butts automotive who said he had never seen a kit that far out before.

My battle for a refund/exchange went so far as to take pictures of it fitted and send them to the onseller and to seek legal advice which was never acted upon because it would have just been a waste of money in my solicitors opinion.

Not all jestpeed kits are consistant in different states.

All i know is that the NSW jetspeed makes there kits on site in australia and that they are good.

And the guys in vic SA are just resellers or using the jetspeed name.

Anyway i still reckon the DMD kits are the best you can get for the money.

well said...

being a composite technician myself i see all sorts of wrong things done with fitting bodykits but JETSPEED take the cake... they put a kit on a 32 GTST that come in and it was so out of line i still couldn't fix it... they looped at least 15 zippy's together and pinned the bottom of the bar back on ea side, when the owner was shown he was not happy... but said he only paid $550 for the kit.. i guess you get what you pay for.... if anyone is putting a kit on there car my recommendations buy original kits from japan they fit perfect as they haven't been flop moulded 3 times before there put on your car, you may pay a few more $$$ but well worth it in the end....

Im used to fixing kits that are very terrible, take the time you can pretty much make anything fit. You just have to find a tradesman that is passionate about his work.

Fiberglass is so easy to work with , theres not alot you cant do with it if you know what you are doing.

At the end of the day these are aftermarket parts, they are not bolt on.

Bodykits are suck a touchy subject, Im really getting tired of companys selling absoloute rubbish and they know there products are of shit quality.

Its up to you guys to stand up and contact the right people to deal with these companys.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
