Because I remember people always wanting a kit for our cars......I would like to see some painted and installed pics if anybody has some yet. Or hey....if you have a Stillen kit on your I30....show a pic of that too.....and no, Stillen doesn't make a kit specifically for us....it must be fabbed a little bit....

It's funny because for so long I30 owners *****ed and complained about not having a kit available, now there is and it is nowhere to be seen

A32 is old now. Don't think people will put much money into it considering the kit is kind of expensive and came out very late into the car's life cycle. I had considered buying it at one point but now rather wait for my next car.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love the body style of the A32 over the A33 and many newer cars, but it is still old.

I'd love to buy this but I know I'd scrape it up everywhere. Maybe when I get coilovers I can raise the car just a little bit......

Thats the way it seems to go, everybody will rave about something until it's time to front the money.... Then the scilence sets in. That is expected though.

A bit OT (didn't think it was worth starting a new thread), but has anybody heard any more on the Paradox kit for the A33's? All I heard was that they were making them to order, but I never saw any pics of the damn thing.

If any of you guys have any info on it, I would like to see this kit.

probably backed away from the deal judging from what the a32 owners did.

Not the ONLY option.. If one is to invest into the body kit. Money can buy options!

I just bought the front lip and it is at the paint shop as we speech. I will have two front bumpers the one in my sig which is custom and now the A32 front lip. I think it looks alittle better with the A32 lip a little less rice. I'll take pics once it gets done

The price may be high compared to other lips out there for other cars, but keep in mind all the trouble that Paradox had to go through to get the kit. He brought a kit from overseas and than had to custom fabricate it for the US I30. I'm sure it ended up costing more than he expected and so he has to pass that onto us.

im the only one with the full kit. its the worst thing that is on my car right now. the fiberglass is thin and is cracking, nothing fit right. the only good part was the front lip which is wayyyy too low for daily driving.

First off your car looks good and that is the reason way I bought the front lip. I had a feeln that the rest of the kit would be made of bad quality. But I do like the front lip and that is the only thing I bought. Now as for the lip being to low, I don't think so, my other bumper that I have is way lower then the lip, and I never scrap with my lip. Just my opinion.

Wow, sorry to hear that. But yeah I would think that the front lip would be low since I already scrape my front bumper as it is with just lowering springs. I can only imagine how bad it'd be if I got the lip kit as well.

with the way my car is lowered on my teins my lip was 4 inches from the ground. i loved it but i was refiberglassing and having it repainted every month. and i just didnt like the car without it. well now its off and its getting CF wrapped and possibly the rest of the kit. im going to call carbon creations or VIS about a custom hood.

So only CreativeDesignz has the kit? Does anybody have ANY single part of the kit?

If quality is as bad as you say it is, it doesn't sound like something worth buying. Who knows what's involved with getting the 97-99 Stillen kit to fit on our cars?

My car is also lowered on Teins (Basic Coilovers) with the Cefiro lip but I still don't have any scraping problems. So you are going to get a custom CF hood made by VIS. If you are I most defiantly will be on board for that, but I need some thing with vents in it to keep my engine cool. something like this:

Please keep me posted on the custom hood I really want one

Thanks

Did you click on the link to the original threads? There are photos in there.. and those were linked from cardomain. When you see the Red X's.. maybe cardomain was down for a brief moment?
