Re: Sarona Kit Question

It is a full front and rear bumper replacement. You may need professional install, it's recommended with most fiberglass body kits.

Did I miss something Jane?

Like Shadow(Jeff) said, Sarona kit is made of fiberglass (yes, they are 1 piece front/rear bumper).. plus its craftsmanship is uhmm... less than perfect . It is HIGHLY recommended to have a trusted bodyshop to professionally install it (not to mention major sanding needed).

$1200 retail

Let's just say quality could be better. I can't speak for other Sarona owners but I sincerely hope no one paid that price.

Did you have fitment problems too? Please email me if you get a chance. I've been talking to all the other Sarona owners about this. Thanks.

Hey you

The shop inspected the bodykit, looks fine... they weren't impressed at all (but then again, that's what they expected coming from Sarona). I don't think they've gotten that far as to fitting the kit on my car yet but I suspect fitment is 'do-able'. They just slapped on new doorskins for me. Still another week of bodywork to do

Since the kit's fiberglass, isn't the Stillen kit stronger and less prone to cracking?

At first, the kit looks do-able, and it is. But then all the stuff shows up during the actual fitting. Let me know how it goes. Does your shop know things about Sarona? You make it seem like they have a rep for bad quality. I don't know anything about them so I'm curious.
