T4NK Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 HI Guys im looking at ordering a kent style kit from www.bodykitskingdom.com.au and i have been told by the owner that it is a direct bolt on with no mods needed to the kit. Does anyone have any experence with this kit and able to confirm that this is correct, i dont want this to end up in a $3000 blow out if its not a direct bolt on.

No replica body kits will be direct bolt-on. You should invest more on a reputable professional shop to fit and paint the body kit, then you should be fine. They are about the same price as Carmate, so I am guessing they are pretty similar in terms of quality. Good luck.

T4NK Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Do you think i should just replace the front bar and leave the stock skirts and rear? im also going to drop it on BC coils The KS kit on carmate is like $500 more then body kits kingdom Edited June 24, 2011 by T4NK Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/368831-wwwbodykitskingdomcomau/#findComment-5881008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VNS 24 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Do you think i should just replace the front bar and leave the stock skirts and rear? im also going to drop it on BC coils Definitely not! They won't match anymore. Better off with a full kit. If you want to drop it really low and worry about scrapping alot, just get a lip kit.

T4NK Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I have lots of scrapes and stone chips over the front bar so it needs a respray and it looks like someone has brushed the back bar there is some fine scratches like a metal brush has been used to clean it just under the skylune lable on the back bar so i need to have resprays done to clean it up so i figured the kit would be a good idea, are you able to point me to any good kit sellers that have direct bolt ons? PS The scrapes where not my fault, there when i bought it and i had a truck run over a hub cap crush it and spray it out over my car on the F3 (i was mad) Edited June 24, 2011 by T4NK Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/368831-wwwbodykitskingdomcomau/#findComment-5881025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareem (_L8RSXY_) ordered his genuine Kenstyle full body kit from there. It costed him about AU$5500 4-5 years ago. It should be cheaper now.

T4NK Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) could not find anything in there product range for the V even tried under infiniti. I think i might just have to suck it up and take the splash with this kit for $850 bucks, i can test fit front bumper and skirts ezy enough myself its the rear bar im worried about, im gona try to get a money back deal if it does not fit directly.

Much needed to get fitment right? I got a vented bonnet of Paul and it fit perfect ! (once i had sanded the edges and the D bar that locks the bonnet down was too small so i had to file the FRP around it so it could lock down) but looks great. You do need to do a fair bit of prep before painting as there are pin holes and areas that need scraping out and filling and then re-prime and your good to go!

T4NK Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 The front and rear was great nothing needed to be done went right on, the skirts didnt fit at all, he was as suprised as me i think that they where a bad set that i got the brackets where they attach to the car seem to be bend and out of shape i think it was pulled from the mould and bent or something like that, he has offerd a swap or my money back so fingers crossed its just a bad set and i can get the skirts on soon to.

R6n350GT Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 i was looking at getting the carbon vented hood from paul, you think it will have the same issues? I got the FRP one. Apart from the D-shackle being too short (you can measure yours and email him and ask for the CF measurement) and see what he says. The vent angles were not 100% perfect so i did some sanding, just ask for photos of the vents and see the angles. Not sure if CF has same problem as FRP but it had pin holes and areas that needed filling.. If not then as long as the D-shackle thing is right size it will fit perfect, and if you happy with the vent angles then you will be very happy!!! Ill post some pics once its painted.
