Just got my bodykit but it's all bent outta shape and shoved into a box!
i don't know the normal procedure for the installation of a body kit so this kinda worries me.
I ordered my stillen body kit from Phuong at Eatricezone.com and when it got to me, the siderocker panels were BENT IN HALF and shoved into a box. The front touring lip spoiler and rear valence were kinda
bent outta shape too. I called Phoung to ask him and he assured me that it would be okay because the parts need to be prefitted and
he said something about having to heat them up or something to get back the normal shape or something like that.
Not quite sure what he was trying to say to me (i was on my cell phone).
Anyways, what do you guys think? Is it okay for the kit to be bent like that? Will it ruin the final outcome of the bodykit when it is installed?
has anyone else bought a bodykit from Phuong at Eatricezone.com?
Thanks for all the help!

It's ok
It will be ok, the kit is made out of polyurethane and it is a very flexible material. All you have to do is intall it on the car and you will never know that it was bent and crammed in a small box for shipping. Mine was done the same way when I got it! Congrats on the bodykit it makes the maxima look a ton better!

Fiberglass kits suck..
A friend of mine bought a used kit for his camero and when it came in it was fiberglass and he was unable to fix alot of the problems with it so he had to eat the money spent and just buy a new kit. Fiberglass that low to the ground is not a good thing for me and my driving skills, if ya know what I mean.

like I said on the phone, just heat up the parts and they'll return to their original shape. I could wrap them in a big ball and plastic wrap it.. the parts will still go back to the original shape once you heat them up.
The boxes the kits are sent in are the max size allowed (130"). Any larger and they'd have to be shipped via truck freight. I doubt customers are willing to spend $150 is shipping vs $35-40

sorry for doubting you man. I just needed to ask around to confirm
your original explanation on the phone. I'm from New York Phuong
what did you expect? it's very hard for me to trust people.
Anyways....for the record everyone.......
Phuong treated me very well and his shipment arrived on time as promised. He saved me nearly a hundred bucks on the kit too!
I think a lot of you have done business with him and already know that
you can trust this guy. I'm definitely planning on doing business with him again.
happy modding all

My Sarona kit showed up in 3 separate 6 foot long packages. They were too big for any normal boxes, so Sarona cut up a bunch of cardboard, and just taped it together around the bumpers after bubble wrapping it. It took up the better half of my room storing them. And I had to make two trips to the body shop just to get the kit there since I don't own a truck or anything.
