I'm iffy on my kit decision again, I did want teh ings-1 longnose kit, but now I'm thinking about this or Do-luck, though I hate the front of the Veilside, looks like it should be in starwars. The Do-Luck Wide body looks quite tempting. Are tehre any differences in the bumpers or sides between coupe and roadster? I'm wondering how this Do-luck would look on a roadster.

If you want aggressive look then Veilside or JP. If you want less aggressive look then Do-Luck (if you dont' mind the waiting)

The Veilside is a nice kit, I am looking for an aggressive kit to represent whats gonna be under the hood. If that Invader is good quality thats not a bad price, I might look into that. $1169 for a widebody kit isn't too shabby. Just wondering how that would look on a roadster, I'v only seen it on coupes. The BuddyclubII doesn't look too bad either, similar front w/o the 4 foglight cutouts. *pullshairout*

Those cars shown on that link all have original veilside. so dont use those as reference. The fakes dont come with the gas cap on the fenders (which you cannot order seperate) nor does it include the rear diffusers on the rear bumper.

Also what does it mean by Grade B quality fiberglass?

Are you going with Authentic or Replica? if replica, contact Homer at: gsbodykits@hotmail.com

He will mix V3 front/rear and V2 side for you. The whole kit would run you less than $500. I'm not sure about the Fitment on Front and rear but side fit GOOD.

If authentic, talk to Darren at Intensepower.com

I'll probably go authentic after reading what swifty said. Gonna make sure this car is done right since I'm hoping to have it last me a long time.

There is a replica kit that does come with the gas cap and rear diffusers. I'm having it fitted Thursday so if you want i'll let you know how the fit is and get pics. I have no idea who it is made by though

Hmm, any way to find out who its made by? I wouldn't mind finding a replica that is made with everything, but if the Invader Isn't and no clue as to who does I'll stick with the Authentic.

You could ask the person on eBay i bought it from *chuckles* His name is autonautics. Came with front, sides, rear, over fenders, and spoiler. Personally i was the first to buy the kit from him and shipping was a nightmare. But i figured for the price it was worth the risks. 4 months now and i'm just now getting it fitted tomorrow. He's told me he's since switched who he ships through. I'll attempt to figure out who it's made by if you're interested after i see how the fitting goes tomorrow though.

I'v never purchased anything on Ebay, heh i don't even have a CC. Guess its about time I get one. It'll be another month before i even get to order any parts or my car and I'm kinda wondering if I should wait and see if there are any changes with the 07's or wait till the 07's hit and get me an 06 ZR with a nice knocked down price since color is no longer important now that I'v decided I want to do a custom paint job when I get my kit and finish talking about what I'm gonna do performance wise.
