Cefiro Body kit from Paradox Systems

Well, i met up with harry last night to pick up my kit from him...the first one in the us, as he stated. Haha feels good to be original for once. i have to say the quality of the kit is top notch. i should have pics of it on the car with the front lip as well, which harry has posted about a week or 2 ago.

Your car looks pretty good. What type of suspenison are you on? Any other pics of he car?

Not a big fan of the rear, but I like the sides and lip. Ther rear flares out too much.

yea i think when its molded on it will look a hell of alot better. but for now i gotta live with it. there was no point in molding it and subjecting it to the warm then the extreme cold. what kind of shocks do you have mike?

Sure I would rather have Illuminas, but they are twice the money and I don't really need adjustable struts

Not a fan of the rear, kinda reminds me of Corolla S rear bumper flares. But I'm sure the front looks amazing when it gets colored, love the sides, what do you guys think if I just get the kit but leave the rear skirts off? I could just get rain guards for the rears to finish off the look I was also thinking of getting the eye-lids, but I'd rather keep my current look instead of having that awkward gap between light and hood even more noticeable.

getting the front and rear would make the car look awkward IMHO...once its molded on there you wont be able to know that the body kit is on there it will look like a part of the car

No, I meant to say I'm going to buy the kit, but leave out the rear bumper pieces, that shouldn't make it look too weird right?

You can get the stillen kit rear for the maxima and they will fit with a little work. What exactly needs to be done I don't know but a member with an I30 got them molded to fit before.

its basically alot of trial and error work with getting other body pieced to fit from a different car. alot of fiberglass and bondo work goes into stuff like that. also you risk the fact of the pieces not being symetrical as well and i think it wouldnt look right...you could always mod these pieces, cuz u are starting off with something that already fits your car

I think it looks great. I'd just mod the rear a bit.

I played around with paint shop and it came out like this:



Lol I had to tint your tail lights too and sorry for using your pic, just tell me if you want me to delete it.

I don't know for sure because I have not tried to test fit it myself, but a while back a member with an I30 bought a complete stillen kit and said the rear seemed to fit pretty good. he never installed it but just test fitted it.

I may have finally worked out the shipping kinks and also wanted to wait to make sure there were no fitment issues. Phil has been extremely helpful in the process.

I will be adding the bodykit to my site in the next day or so.

Not to rush anyone but, these are for the most part a limited production item. I can not guarantee that I will have them, 10 months from now, for example nor will I be able to get more produced if I don't.

I'm getting the price on these as low as I possibly can. For those outside the US, I will be happy to work with you but shipping, unfortunately, is a b***h. I can get you the final size on the box I found and weight if anyone wants to try to estimate shipping.

Longboarderphil, I hope you dont mind that I used your picture but I had an idea and I just got excited. As I found out that there is no full body kit for i30, so I was thinking what if we make a straight cut in the stock bumper and ad about 2 inche piece of fiber glass to it this will make the whole car look more sporty and close to the ground. Let me know what you guys think, can this be done or I am just a dreamer?

"Unfortunatly there is no US company that makes a bodykit for the I30 / I35. The I30 / I35 is wider..." read the FAQs, I said no full body kit, do you see one in this thread? Again if you dint understand me before, I am talking about FULL BODY KIT not side skirts and little pieces of plastic that sticks with the stock bumper.

This thread is about the first I30 specific body kit available to us. Front lip, side skirts and rear valance. The FAQ's are not correct anymore because this is the first kit. I think I have read the FAQ's since I am the one who put them together.

What was photochoped was the molding of the kit to the body of the car.


So a front lip, side skirts, and a rear valance is not a body kit?

Oh, and I don't like your attitude either.
