Those are all knock off products. The original kit is made by a company called ABFLUG. Please research using our search function. Or check out the thread that's called 'all body-kits' or something like that.

There's many options to choose from.

also keep in mind - knock off companies have a tendency to FIT LIKE **** - so be careful w/your purchases.

2 tips in your body kit searchings. they are nicknames for real companies.

abflug = ABFUGLY
veilside = FAILSIDE

proceed carefully.

You may want to look into getting body kits from the REAL people who created them.

Buying those low quality knock offs isn't really the best idea. Sure, the prices may seem cheap to begin with, but you pay for for it in the end when your body shop has to work WAY too long trying to fix the crappy quality.

Also, buy the parts that will make YOU happy.

Enjoy!

AITRacing, Extreme Dimension, etc, theres a ton of knock off kits out there on the market. Just a rule of thumb but most kits that are genuine are roughly around the $2000 retail range, some a bit more some a bit less, so if you find a whole kit for like $500ish, assume its a knock off.

Some people like VeilSide on the 8, some people don't.

Thank you.

They did make the LIP kit.. the V1.. thats a WIN in most books. And the D1GT can be pulled off.... CHRISM pulled it off with "the beast"

**** off, Veilside kit is legit. I think both of their kits look great, you have to see them in person. I use to hate it, till I saw it in person.

This one in these pics, not so much.

relax you guys.

It seems the OP doesn't have the same taste as most of us. That or he just hasn't really warmed up to his options.

Alex: this should help your search.

the veilside lip kit is pretty nice. ce28n's car (is that his name) looks really nice with it. and the blue rims he has compliments it really well.

ce43095830498538 or whatever, has one of the sexiest 8's ever. Those powercoated Volk's are ridic. And I love that Veilside kit accept those "side skirt" things I'm not too crazy about.

500 POSTS! :D

thanks atilla... the kit is months away from actually happening but im doing my research now, never done 1 before.

my 7s body is all stock, so I have no experience doing this. the only thing Ive done with body us replace my hood on the 7 cuz it had an incident with tree limb, needless to say the tree limb was burned horribley burned for it

I'm pretty sure his sn spells out Carson but with numbers instead - c41420n or something lol...


Anyways, to keep up with this off-topicness, I'm a big fan of the veilside lip kit for our car, front, sides, & rears, I love it.

The other kit has it's time and place and can be pulled off well, but I can also see why many refer to it as failside...
