Default Looking for vendor recommendations

I've been considering buying a body kit and before i end up spending the money I would wondering if people had recommendations where to buy. I'm always looking for a good deal on stuff due to being on a budget (raising my real kid before my 4 wheeled kid lol). Andy's Auto Sport and Car Body Kit Store seem to have the best prices but the reviews are slightly sketchy. Has anyone had experience with either? I'm looking at the AIT SRS Style body kit if that helps anything. Thanks in advance.

I checked. I only found the side skirts. And even then it seemed as if it was gonna be more expensive.

If I may, unless you're an experienced body man, I wouldn't look for a bargain on a body kit. The "X STYLE" stuff is crap. Most of them use original parts as a "buck" or "plug" to make a mold, then more shoddy work on making the part.

Go to any car show & examine the fitment first hand. The cheap ones have a production tolerance variation of +/- a hammer handle.

Just stopping by to mention $$$$ spent on looks could easily be spent on functional upgrades that will add value and enjoyment to the driving experience.

And that, folks, earns Zelduh the my350Z.com "Line of the Week" award! Snort!
