looks like the wheel arches have been modifed, full custom, not a kit

[turboZ31]

well, before the site was redone, they offered the the fender flares (20 mm int the front and 50mm in the rear). they said in the ad that the rest of the kit was on the way. now....nothing....grrr

[evildky]

is that pic from their site? I've never heard of them, I now when it comes to body kits and such there are more bad companies out there than good from what I seem to read and hear, also those flares are obviously bonded on, not just stick and screw, so I hope your ready to do a lot of custom work to fot the "kit"

[turboZ31]

no tha pic was from az-zbum's site. the fenders were not molded. they are complete fenders. the only thing i thing that was molded was the side skirts.

this is the site

well if it's full "fenders" then the rear quarter is still gonna have to be bonded and glassed onto the chassis, major PITA for small visual impact, if you're a bodyman then it's a walk in the park and by all means go for it

[turboZ31]

thats the problem. i want the the kit, but the page a has been down for ever. cant even get the fenders and rear quarters. tried email but with no response

[evildky]

I think you miss my point, this "kit" will require custom bonding and blending, it's not a bolt on affair, and IMHO does nothing for the look of the car, I'd highly recmond choosing something available form a known turstworthy source, that will be available for contact the day after you order, if you can't get with them now imagine once they have your money! stick with whats available form tursted sources and you'll sleep better

[turboZ31]

yeah....but....its pretty ...lol.

i get it, thanks

Well Cross Factory is in Japan so it might be hard for them to...uh understand english.

You dont need overfenders but you do need those Work Equips.

I just get worries when it comes to these body kit places, seems half the people making fiberglass parts for the S30 are corrked, or slow, or just put out bad product, which si why I recomend dealing with trusted sources only, I've heard horror stories about people taking litterally a year to get parts, or the quality was very poor as they intend for the installing body shop to do quite a bit of fit and finnish work, not sure ehy the bosy kits bring out the dirtbags, I just hate to see you get yourself over a barrel by some forign company, and when dealing with importing parts you get even more potential problems with customs and such

WTF!! Are you drunk? I had a hard time understanding what you just wrote. But...

I agree with you, the only thing I would trust from overseas for my car is wheels because I know they're going to take a long time to ship anyways and I would only buy quality wheels if it were from Japan.

TurboZ31 you should get ZG flares and some super deep wheels (ex. Grip Gamblers old Z31) and also do you even have wheels to fill out those overfenders you were planning on buying?

Wait a minute, looking at the first picture again. Evildky was right there just molded on fender flares. You can see the Z31 in the back has the same rear arches being put on.

[turboZ31]

no, it's not. the old site carried the fenders. i saw the page. the only thing that is molded on that car was the rear quarters and side skirts,

[turboZ31]

i also understand what your saying about the kit. i know its better to deal with companys that i can contact on a daily basis. it's just i want my car to be a little different and those other kits are...ugly.as far as the work that goes into making the kit "fit", i can handle it, or have somebody that can. wheels to fit, i'm not worried about those yet, i havent even decided on what kind of wheel to run...all i know is i want em deep and as wide as possible. the point of this thread was not to decide on weather or not i wanted the kit or if i knew what work might be involved in it, it was to maybe get some help on informantion on the kit ( price and shipment). i figured with a site this big and with enough z31 tuners that someone would of run across the company and had some informantion.

[evildky]

guess I got in a hurry, plots of typo's there, anyhow, if you want different and have body skills or at least kow someone who does, go full custom, and I agree, the ZG flares are not common on the z31 and look better than the body kits IMHO
