MSA Suzuka Body Kit
Ok, So I am getting some money back this year on taxes. I have been looking at body kits.
I found this Ings Lx look a like “MSA Suzuka Body Kit “.

I was wondering if anyone has ever bought this kit? If so, where there an issues with it.
Thanks,
C

Well...
my personal experience was that just in front of the rear wheels (where the skirt meets the body) required more finesse to get it flush with the body. This took quite a bit of work but my shop eventually got it done.
Edit: This should help you guys out. Here are some pix just after I got my kit on in April of last year.

risky, are the sides and rear held on with double sided tape and scews at the end?
Have you had any problems with them pealing off? How long have you had the kit installed?

on with both. No issues with the kit moving. I have had it on since April of 2007. Weather wise in Toronto it is incredbily hawt/humid in the summer (no kit sag) and bitter cold in Feb in the winter. The kit has been the same since day 1 as the shop I used did a really good job.
Hopefully that helps.

Thanks, what I needed to know!
I have the kit sitting in my garage. Every shop in my area says in a texas redneck accent "Naww man that ain't gunna hold for sh$t"

I was thinking of going with the LX front lip and the Greddy sides, http://intensepower.com/grsisk35.html
What do you guys think? Oh BTW, what would be the downside of buying FRP sides as to Urethane? Would they break as often as FRP front lips?
LOL

But when you hit it with frp, the frp AND the paint gets messed up too. And urethane is heavier, no?
Anyways, so what do you guys think of MSA front lip + greddy sides?
