R33 Body Kit on Redlinemax.com

Hey guys, i recently had a spell of bad luck when i crumpled my front end up on a suburban. basicly i need a new hood, bumper, head lights, and grill. Ive already decided on hood light and grill but i came across this body kit. What i realy need to know is hows fit and finish,how hard is it to install, and yor opinion on the looks. heres the link.

If you're asking what others think about the looks you must be unsure yourself so that should tell you not to buy it. Opinions are going to be all over place some will some won't, but props for inquiring about existing owners fitment quality.

PS I like it, but I'd never put it on my car, as I'm way to old.

I too need a new front bumper and I've been exploring the aftermarket options. Honestly, I'm not liking any of the kits currently offered. So, I am going to just get a stock replacement bumper off ebay and put a lip on it. Ebay is your friend.

It just looks 'akward' on the max, and that's being about as nice as I can get. I have only heard bad things about them. I would much rather get a stillen kit or ionic dynamics kit. Much better looking with much better fitment.

i only think the r33 bumper is tolerable on total show cars- i.e. euromaxima's car. and even then it would probably look better with a factory bumper and lip but the r33 bumper definitly grabs more attention.

so unless your planning on going all out on your car, i would avoid the r33
