Saronra Body KIT.. SUCKS SO BADLY

Okay i had it installed by my body shop yesterday..

Overall impression, from afar it looks great.. but closer inspection... MY GOD..

The fitment is by far the worst. it was almost like it was designed for another car... When people said this VIS/Sarona kit sucked, now i totally believe them..

I am goign to wait and have to buy the new body kit from Custommaxima later on...

Very dissatisfied custommer here..

hmm.....does the passenger side flare out more?...pop your hood..the top part that comes from the grille and bolts onto your radiator support...the passenger side is totally smooth (the part that the hood closes onto) while the drivers side actually has a "step" to match up with the hood closing. Also measure how deep the "mouth" is for your main grille. The drivers side one is shallower than the passenger side. The whole bumper is ****ed up.

Agreed..

And the rear bumper is a POS.. same with the side skirts, it rubs a bit on the doors ... and the rear bumper and my trunk lid rub..

Overal... what a piece of $hit..

Hmmm, so the sideskirts are no good either? My plan was to get the Ninja sideskirts and wait to see what custommaxima comes up with for front and rear. But now that I read this maybe not...

Either they may have improved on the design in later editions or the recent molds suck $hit..

I feel like i ruind my 4 month old car by putting this crap on.. I can't wait for custommaxxima to release the new kit.

Did you purchase the kit from Sarona or VIS?
I've got mine from GroundDynamics, let's see if the kits suck too

ON the inside of the bumper, it says Spoilers ETC...

Honestly, i don't care too much, it looks better than stock, and it didn't cost me too much...

$1150 for the kit, painted and installed
(500) Received from rear end collision from other driver
-----
$650 CDN for everything..
----

In US$ that is $475 US for a full body kit, installed and painted.. Plus i can always restore it backt o stock at anytime..

There is a reason no one really goes for that kit. Stillen also charges more $$ for a reason. You get what you pay for ....

I agree, no matter how big of a PITA stillen can bem and we know some of their items are overprice but hell I have never had any fittment issues with anything stillen. Not the bodykit, not the intake, not the y-pipe of FSTB. The RSB does cost more, but hell atleast it looks sweet. These day YES you do get what you pay for.

Our 5th gen kit is almost done, it is made out of fiberglass but it is a new type of fiberglass we been working on that will knock your socks off, trust me. No more worrying about fiberglass cracking.......
