Sarona Body Kit

Hey whats up fellas. I recently got into an accident

and I need some opinions on some stuff I gotta replace.. First off the accident wasnt that bad but I need a new front bumper so instead of going with the OEM I was thinkin of just gettin the Sarona front bumper since its the whole piece and not add ons.. Does N E one here have the kit and what is ur opinion on it

?? all advise is really appricated .. OOO and here is a list of the other things that I have to pick up if u guys think I can get this stuff cheaper just let me know. These things are comin directly from Nissan these are not aftermarket items..:

Front Bumper OEM 200 Sarona 400
Reinenforcement Bean 174.28
Strifoam for bumper 60.90
Grille OEM 96.60 or should I get the Trenz grill instead??

Light housing (entire housing) 201 ea.

Thanks guys

The Sarona bumper is known for having problems with fitting, and since its made of thin fiberglass, is very prone to cracking. Do a search, there have been amny posts about this. Probably should go for OEM and Stillen lip instead.

search is your friend.....but i can be lazy at times too - so i'll answer your question........ the sarona bumper looks real kool....you dont really have to worry about it fitting, but the real problem is that its not exactly very durable....if u buy it you better be real careful......cause that thing cracks quite easily - if u wanna get sumthing cheap run over to the good ol junk yard......or better yet - wait for shadow's body kit

Fitment, Price, & Durability are a BIG issure with this kit. Talk to 97Maxgurl, he has the full Sarona kit.

It's really a shame. I like the Sarona kit a lot better than the Stillen kit (but I'm keeping my car a sleeper) but the kit has many fitment issues.

From far away, it looks fine. Get up close, and you'll see where things don't line up. It's not worth the trouble, headaches, and money even if the kit looks nice.

If you can wait then wait for some new kits that should be coming out soon. If you can't wait stick with oem. I like the way Sorona looks but It's cheaply made.. My .02
