Skyline Body Kit

WHO'S HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SKYLINE BODYKIT INSTALL? ANY ONE HAD FITMENT ISSUES? MY BODY SHOP IS TELLING ME THAT ITS NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD FIT. SMALL GAPS ON THE SIDE SKIRTS, AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT TRY OUT THE BUMPERS. A BIGGER HEADACHE THEN EXPECTED. ANY HELP OR SUGGESTION.

its not worth it man. If u get the urethane from wickedbodykits

its perfect i guess.. Plus its cheaper. What the h elll. Im stuck with a fiberglass kit that doesnt even fit!


I think greg should give is a urethane kit for all the headaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u have to get it molded otherwise it wont fit right or at all. The skyline kits were made with....from bums,, from dumb r etards who cant measure how the stock bumper looks like..

check out cardomain page to see my problems that i had. I dont understand why people still elect to purchase $hit like this. But i guess as long as people continue to buy it then nothing will be done to change the quality of the product.

ok, wow this is kind of funny. When i got my new bumper from greg, I went to put the bumper on my self with friends and we had some problems gitting the bumper to fit. The problems we had however was that the bumper was so "tight", almost a perfect fit, that there was no room for give when trying to get the bumper put on. We almost gave up and sent the kit to the body shop. After a little maneuvering, we got the kit on. The fit on my car is actually perfect. One of the issues probably is that each kit is hand-made.

And, No I'm not on custommaximas side because i'm the sponsored car, I''m just stating my facts.

HERE IS THE END RESULT,FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO PURCHASE THIS SKYLINE BODY KIT. BE AWARE THAT IT IS NOT 100%PERCENT FITMENT,ALSO IT WILL TAKE MAJOR MODIFICATION. THIS HAS TURN OUT TO BE THE BIGGEST NIGHTMARE. CUSTOMMAXIMA WAS NO HELP AT ALL, THEY TOLD ME $200.00 FOR RESTOCKING FEE AND NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING FOR $125.00. CAN IT GET ANY BETTER?? SEND BACK AND BE OUT ALMOST $400.00 PLUS BODY LABOR THAT I STILL HAVE TO PAY. ONE THINK FOR SURE I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM CUSTOMMAXIMA, AT ALL. AND WILL NEVER REFER A CUSTOMER. THERE GOES ALL MY PLANS TO MAY THIS A SHOW CAR. WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHAT THE END RESULT. VERY UPSET, NOT TO MENTION THAT I COULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS FOR $599.00, IF I WOULD HAVE LOOKED UNDER MAXIMA.ORG BUYERS BEWARE THATS ALL.
