Looks a lot like the Veilside V3 kit.

is it legit? Yes. Is that buddy club 2 widebody? Yes.

The price is low is because no one buys it. they have to move inventory.

not feeling these parts of the kit:



the reason its cheaper is probably because its only 4 pieces whereas a lot of widebodies are 6-8 pieces.

I installed a Buddy Club 2 front bumper, and with the stock suspension, the bottom edge is 4.5" off the ground. Very, very low. I've already creamed this thing once on a low berm in a parking lot and had to have it fixed.

FYI....I like the look of the nose, but the product itself is very low quality. The fit was horrible and in some places, the fiberglass was like tissue paper. 30+ hours of labor, some fiberglass and filler and I made the thing respectable. If you're going to give this kit to a body shop to do, I hope you have deep pockets.

i like the front bumper of the kit...and thats it. the sides are ok, and the rear is a cleaner version of the v3...but the entire setup is overplayed.

the bumper is better looking than the veilside.

Is buddyclub2 a knockoff of the real buddy club? I saw it says 'made in the USA' so I'm thinking it's not really the same as the Japanese company Buddy Club
