Now I know most of you out there prefer the stock 2gb kit, and that is why I like this one. It looks close to stock, but with a little additude. I'm a little skepptical about buying this though, because I'm not sure if it's a piece of crap. And for the price, not bad. Tell me what you think about it.

Some kits fit better than others, but all will require a certain amount of "massaging" in order to fit correctly. I've not seen that kit on anybodies car that I know, so I couldn't tell you about the quality.

One thing I will add.....if your car is lowered you will want to stay away from fiberglass fronts as they WILL get cracked or broken eventually.
 
Just like everyone else, I can't give any feedback quality-wise... but that is one of the best looking kits around IMO. I hate over-the-top kits, and this one keeps just enough of the stock styling to really keep it looking like a DSM, but adding something extra and different. It will also get you looking more like a 97-99 ;)

I say go for it, I'm still debating on something like this for myself, but I keep seeing performance mods over these.
 
I agree...

I like the kit a lot. It's not toooo aggressive, and it's simple. I'm actually thinking of buying it right now

its more decent than most of the kits thats out there...it looks real good:thumb:
 
I like it make sure its not ebay qaulity thin I like it. Hope you get it I wouldnt put the Z3 fenders on though. Wonder if they make it for 98 rather then ONLY 95-96?
 
Buying a kit offline thats not "proven" or that just has some pictures doesnt mean it will be good quality or fit. Most of us DSM guys are cheap and look for the cheapest buy as opposed to a proven quality purchase. Most body kits after the 1st winter turn to crap in my opinion, at least in Michigan. Out of 20 body kits I see, 19 look like total crap after about a year or so. They just end up looking cheap in my opinion.

To the OP, look into some body kits that are not as cheap, but that other members have and have held up for years already. As far as that kit your looking at, it doesnt look too shabby at all- but the quality and fitment is the thing I would research and worry about. Keep in mind you will pay more for your paint and paintjob than that kit so take into consideration if its worth it or if you should spend a few more dollars on something proven.

That's the Buddy Club 2 kit. It does look nice I might add but I have no idea about the quality. Why not order directly from Buddy Club? And dont put those Z3 fenders on, they'll fully take away that "close to stock" look you're going for.

Im sure its only 95-96 cause of the headlight difference.




But I do agree, it is the Buddy Club kit and it does look nice and clean.
 
definitly BC II kit...I know..I had it on my spyder ;-)

Its anice kit and when ordered from BC directly..it was a nice fit. Had to do some small mods to it but thats they way it goes with fiberglass kits. How a knock off will fit is impossible to tell ...
 
Okay, since you asked:
Z3 fender fishgills look stupid enough on Z3s. They were kind of cool on the 503, and that's where they should have stayed.
Vents on the front bumper leading to the tire treads are for..... what?
Vents on the rear bumper, letting hot air out of.... what?
Sideskirts that make the car look like it wishes it were a Fiero, which already looks like a Dustbuster....
And to top it off, what's this kit made out of? Fiberglas? The factory plastic has enough trouble with speedbumps, curbs and parking turds, as well as park-by-ear morons.

But only because you asked. Don't get all hissy about the answer. :thumb:
