Default HELP HELP LOL kevlar or cf

okay the car is a custom painted turquoise that came with the car when i bought.

im going to start my build thread soon. but to start it off so i have some more wheel options (really want some 18x10's or 17x10's in the rear lol), im gonna need to decide on body work.

what i like:

J's racing widebody (most expensive) if anyone knows where to get it cheaper then 6k with carbon bits say so!

Apr's widebody minus the exhaust area on the rear bumper, id remove that and throw a gt300 diffuser and flush as i could.

Amuse widebody althought im not sure i like it as much as before, everyone has it now. since its a ebay kit now too.

Spoons kit: is neat maybe not wide enuff but the front bumper makes my wiener go soft, i just think id rather have a differant from bumper for sure.
Mugens widebody i can get in carbon for just under 4k or 2k in frp. front and rear bumper looks a lil weird but i think with some canards and rear diffuser maybe how its painted on the carbon it would look slick.

NOW FOR THE HOOD, TRUNK, HARDTOP, WING, CANARDS, INTERIOR PARTS ETC......
the dilemma is some how in my head i think that the kevlar would look pretty good with the paint color.seeing as how i could get a twil kevlar top, twil kevlar gforce hood, and twil kevlar flared trunk, wing etc for the same price as carbon. but i know carbon is a safe bet but not as differant.

hardtop:
I could go with the mugen style hardtop, in cf, kevlar twil, or blue cf(i really like the idea of the hardtop being blue cf and everything else just cf maybe the rear diffuser blue cf too.).

hood:
g-force 1 or the drift style althought i think the flusher looking drift style hood looks the best and is more functional with vmount.
drift hood isnt as good for a street car

trunk:
since decided to stick with the mugen style hardtop for price and functional easy use of trunk, althought a shine fiberglass spoon style is only 2500 with hardware.
part of the reason is the mugen style flared trunk, i think its kinda neat especially with a bys carbon or kevlar wing attached replacing thrid brake light.

Wing:

BYS cf or kevlar.

id later through a raised functional wing on maybe a j's or apr wing in conjuntion with the bys.


interior
parts i like the way kevlar looks inside the car, mine has black interior.




benfits or kevlar? probably none with these parts lol other then looks.

most of the cf or kevlar parts are from cwest, now ive heard differant things about their fitment but the price is okay.


these are some of my ideas. plus im not sure if i just want to leave cf n stuff raw or paint it. i like the color of my new car though. i plan to go with mag blue wheels of some sort or have some powder coated to that with the lighter color should look nice.


follow my build thread, should be posted soon.

I say either APR or J's widebody, and all the other stuff in carbon. Also, you might want to do a little more research before buying from aerokits.net (Chaser) there absolutely nothing good anyone can say about them. Horrible customer service, horrible fitting products, if you get a bad fitting part (which is all of their parts pretty much including their hardtops) they will not refund you or exchange it, it just won't happen even if they "say" they will. They even stole a forum members side strakes to make molds of them and never gave them back, and refuses to pay for the lost items. Check out the 5 or 6 bad feedback threads just on this forum, not including the bad feedback on most car forums.

Just a heads up, i'm speaking from personal expeience as well. I will never get another part from them even if they had good fitting parts, which they don't.

To be a sponsor here is not cheap at all, and as long as they are paying s2ki to be a vendor they can pretty much do as they please. The Admins and moderators are fully aware of all of their issues and discussed it, and pretty much won't do anything as of right now. They also just lost their "better" sales rep since he couldnt take it, there have been like 5 different sales reps within 5 months it seems like. So yeah, pretty ridiculous. I can tell you that VIS tops and Spyder562's mugen style hardtops fit really well and are decently priced too. I would honestly go with Spyders since it comes with better seals/hardware, and his are lighter. He can also get you nice parts from Seibon and such if I remember right, and you can get your choice of carbon hood, trunk, ect.. from him also.
