Default Body Kit Sites...

I searched around for S2k Body kits and such. I usuall see 6-700 for a front bumer but nothing lower than $500. Then i came to this site >BodyKitSite

They had full body kits for $500 and simple front bumber/rear bumber/side skirts for $150-250.
They say their kits are make from Duraflex.
If you scroll through all the pages you will see what kind of prices im talking about.

Is this site legit? Or are the kits just garbage. Ive never heard of this Duraflex stuff and it seems to be much cheaper then kits ive seen. If you search the site there is a video about it...


Thanks

if you want a quality piece, pay the money for it.

i'd be suspicous about the price too. But the duraflex commercial on youtube seems to convincing otherwise.

When you buy cheap kits like that they are often produced using poor molds. Fitment tends to be really off requiring a lot of money in modification, prep work etc... In the end you may end up spending even more money than if you bought a high quality tried and true JDM bumper. With that being said, I think you should do some research and find the look you want for the car and talk to other members that have the kit your interested in installed, and get their impressions. Even some JDM pieces have not so good fitment. Trust me, it's already tough enough to find a decent body shop to install quality stuff correctly. There is a reason you see some cars driving down the free way with their kits flapping in the wind. Good luck bro... S2000 unfortunately is not a cheap car to mod, but man is it addicting

You get what you pay for. anytime you mod with body parts,look forward to alot of work to make them look and fit right. from people i've talk to, very little aftermarket body kits are perfect. from what i've experienced with mine, iwould have to agree. but if done right, the results are worth it. happy modding!

why don't you purchase a cheap front bumper for less than $200 and see how much work it is. Looks like it is somewhere in so-cal seeing the (909) area code.
