So what are your opinions? It's pretty damn cheap, even with the $150 shipping rate.

yes, but there are also other fiberglass kits that cost at least $100+ more, but is it because thier fiberglass is of a higher quality?

i personally love the skyline look, so thats what i got for mine, and im my opinion its one of the best (most aggressive) kits for the max if done right. I bought a urethane one so ill give you the details on that. For one, the urethane still fit like h***. Took about 10 hours or custom fitting the entire kit. And on top of that, good luck painting a urethane kit, which is another 2 to 3 hours of work with comet and a scuff pad to get all the silicone off it from the mold. Otherwise, the paint will fisheye like crazy. Fiberglass is much easier and can basically be painted right out of the box. Its also about 10 times easier to fix. Anybody thats worked with fiberglass would know that. Thats about all the information that i can give you. So good luck with your choice.

The front doesnt look that great IMO, but the rear looks nice, I dont think ive ever seen that rear before, it looks similar to the Sarona. And yeah expect to spend alot to have it fit and look right by a professional body shop.

I always compare that skyline body kit to a mouth of a pu$$y (a cat,that it). It just looks like it's not suppose to belong there. I wouldn't buy it...from experience, in the end you will probably spend more money fixing that bich from cracks and scatchs than enjoying it.

ohannon7: is your skyline (rear and sides) a fiberglass or urethane?

Looking nice!!!

Where did u get it from... I don't like the new version skyline kits...

I don't think havin' a rear fiberglass will be TOO bad...
