Default R34 conversion

I know not to many people on this forum are excited about changing their factory bumper covers.
I have decided to change mine to an R34 front Blitz low rise side skirts and Blitz rear bumper
Here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=350092500760

On the auction it is showing a diffrent rear bumper cover, i didnt like it to well, so they are gonna send me the Blitz rear bumper cover instead of the one pictured. They recieved payment yesterday, so as soon as i get the kit in i will take pic's before and after the install.

JK. Its your car. im not a fan of that stuff at all. you wont be happy with a few things off the bat. one it wont fit if it is fiberglass and it will crack alot over time and look really bad

i did all of my body work so it cost next to nothing... but i molded all of it in, and that was the only way i could make it look right... there was a lot of bondo and fiberglass in the cracks lol

even with a garantee. It may fit in the bolt up points but 99% of the fiberglass kits you need to kit in have and reglass them to make them fit the way they are supposed to (esspecailly side skirts they are usually to long)

well you have to drill your own hole in the fiberglass ones... but either way they either stick out or are wavy, or still have a gap in the seams... ebay is definitely not the way to go for body kits
