i read the threads, i know how bodykits copies are hard to fit and stuff , but why is this kit so cheap ? and is it too good to be true or should i go ahead and buy it

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-95-96-97...1QQcmdZViewItem

what about something like this one ( lil bit pricier )

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-99-Toyot...1QQcmdZViewItem

on the first one they get all their money for it off shipping. personally i wouldn't get either. i like the skirts on the 404 kit but that's it. but if you like it then go for it.
Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)

I was reading somewhere that the verts are a little different as in reagards to skirts. I like the second one. Ill make sure you ask them and have it in writing, that it will definetely fit a vert....

are you wanting to get the full 404 kit? Like front, skirts, bumper peices?

watch out for that back bumper... Your gonna havta customize it to fit... Coupes/Convertible's backs are bigger then the hatchback. Keep in mind that most kits out there are meant for the hatchback, so anything you wanna do is gonna require modification.

Its not an easy task... I had to do it on my vert... kindasad.gif

Either u pay cheap for the kit and pay extra to get it installed, or u pay extra for the body kit and pay less to get it installed. Your choice.

I would pay more for the kit its self so it will last longer and in case you hit something it wont break as easily as a cheap kit.

If you hit anything with a fiberglass bumper it will most likely crack either way.

I've also been wondering the same thing as NaderG. Where's a good place to buy a 404 kit? Also, are all the cheap ones going to be fiberglass? Urethane and other materials are normally quite a bit more expensive right? When you all say cheap equals bad fitment, just how bad do you mean? I'll be doing my own work, so I'm not too scared of I little bit of fitting and molding and shaving or whatever. But when I hear things about 1" short side skirts that's getting a little much.... rolleyes.gif

yea i mean if you were to hit a cerb for instince with a ****tty bumper it will crack off the screwes and fall off,but if u have a nice expensive bumper it wont tear off just scratch it depending on ur speed.

What about a c-one rear bumper , would that fit a convertible ? anybody suggest any similar things ? picking things drive me insaine

all the car types are the same (coupe vert and hatch) all have the same front. so any bumper that will go on the coupe will go on the other 2, only thing u have to worry about is the rear end and thats only between the hatch and the other 2.

to my knowledge all the bodies are the same excluding the rear quarters and the bumpers and what not. Basicly everything infront of your door handle is the same.

So how should i should shop for my rear lip/bumper ?
devilsden97
#26
with your eyes?.....


if u look at a coupe and a vert (convertable) u can see they have visibly different tailights from the Hatch. Hense the shape of the rear bumper is different.

^dont jack others threads, if your interested in something or have a question about another topic, plz post it up somewhere else, but make sure to SEARCH so that it hasnt been brought up before.

i figure those rims either dont sell well, or they are discontinued.

ok , back to my rear bumper delima ! so i can see that tailights are different , but most kit selling websites or companies dont really specifiy that the kits fits a Vert , so should i buy anyway and have someon modify it or is there something else to do ? , and take it easy on me with the sarcasm i am just a beginer !
