they're not offering bids on the ebay item and if you buy direct from bodykits.com (the manufacturer) you'll save $100.00 bucks.

That's an overpriced kit IMO. Looks nasty.

i was thinking the same thing, that kit is quite expensive, for not being quite exciting

well, being you all are so excited...look at this coupe and look at your coupe and tell me how exciting your coupe is... because really, it's just not that exciting. you guys rock, but seriously. the primer only bodykit pics don't do it any justice. If you were to use your imagination i'm sure it would look something like this.

to those who like this kit, i understand its better looking then the stock look, but in my own Opinion, i find that it looks a little bit too mid 90's honda civic body kitted.

back it up with some mid 90's honda civic body-kit pics bro. it's a simple request. you know how to use photobucket. post something similar (and common) to this bodykit on a civic.

I would have understood if you would have said it looks similar to some of the z or g bodykits, but you went civic so i gotta call ya out.

post something with pics to back up your comment please sir.

there you go, notice every front end has the same basic design, as does the foxmarketing kit, you will probabally disagree, which is cool, to each there own, dont get me wrong i do not think the kit is bad looking or anything, just for a grand, id expect more, i would like to see something done with the rear bumper not just little side pieces that attach behind the rear wheels, as for the side skirts... i dont know, i used to own a early 90's camaro that had the same side skirts..

Do you have the kit or something since you seem to be taking it so personally?

It's an ugly kit in my opinion and I wouldn't pay $500.00 for it let alone over 1G. That's that. It looks a little better than a stock Coupe but it's not mind blowing in the slightest.

As a kit, I would never put it on my car. HOWEVER: I love the side skirts and rear bumper flares. I just really think the front is ugly. I think the stillen front fascia is much better, but I like the fox side skirts more than the stillen ones.

I agree with vballer. Sideskirt and rear looks awesome but looks VERY similar to Stillen's. Not feeling the front though.

I really can't wait to see what Nismo comes up with, WHEN they do... 'when' being the key word

so i was thinking about it, the problem with this fox marketing body kit is that its not a body kit that anyone really wants, its a body kit that people settle for due to a lack of body kit market for the a/c , i mean if i had this kit on my car, i would have to explain to people all the time why i bought that kit, in comparison stillens body kit i wouldnt have to explain, people would see it and just understand, it would make sense to them. Also this kit fails to address the number one problem that the a/c has, which is its front grille, it has left that honeycomb mess there, as where the stillen front end took care of this. Well anywho, i will stop my rant, as for now i will leave my cars body all stock because i dont have to explain why its stock to anyone...

Ok, regarding the kit, ~$1000 for a full body kit is not unreasonable!

I actually think the hottest thing on the Fox kit is the sideskirts... the opening on the side compliments the curves of the A/C nicely!

I DO NOT like the little rear appendage thingies... completely ruins the rear IMO..

OK, now to the front... well, these kits are fiberglass... yep you got that right... that's my biggest issue with this kit. I've seen this kit installed on an Altima Coupe in person at the Stillen meet, and it looked really, really bad in person!

1. The curves at the front of the wheel well on the front bumper do NOT continue the line of the fender very well... it just kind of dissipates... and the fitment was really, really bad... it didn't meet up well on the coreners and angles...

oh yeah, and as mentioned, it still uses our ugly factory grill...

I think we can all appreciate Foxmarketing jumping out there and providing a kit, since at present (until Loop's car is finished) these are the only two available! But after seeing BOTH kits installed on the A/C, I would say with the exception of a few folks that didn't install the top of the front bumper properly, the Stillen Urethane kit is 99% spot on regarding fitment... but the same can not be said about the fox kit!

However, I disagree with the "mid 90's Honda civic" comment, as far as body kits go,,, the opening is a pretty common theme amongst many body kits today!

Yeah I think this is going in the right direction, I just cant stand that factory grill! It sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

I like the appendages, I just cant put my finger on the reason why. something about continuing the side skirt idea, its just too abrupt at the end I think.

It's a sunday night! what are you doin up so late Doc? I just saw windhaven on too. Must be some wild and crazy guys.

Naww, the middle of the night , when the wife and daughter are asleep is the only time I can get anything I want to do done (fabricating kickplates, reading up on research articles, reading through medicine books, oh yeah, and posting pointless things on NICO)

until AFTER sema?

Wow, what a waste IMO... Theres thousands here waiting to see, and at Sema, it will just be "another car" right? Idk ive never been to SEMA before, but at carlisle both Artesian and Fox coupes were there and they got as much time in the limelight as Kato Kaelin does in 08... NON EXISTENT..

Maybe its tied to sponsorship?

Theres no locals that saw him and took a pic? Damn man...

For us NYers, i hide like a turtle once the winter hits, i guess ill pick it up NEXT spring...

The bodykit from ED should be finished in September/October. My entire project for the car will be done end of October.

SEMA is huge and not open to the public. Its a week long and you won't even be able to see everything there during that time.

Cool, I will be in the feature spot(outside) most likely due to the cost of a booth(80k). Though he may try and push the newer cars to a booth for better exposure. So I don't know 100% yet. But I am definately going to be there. As time gets closer, I shall be in contact with you.

Maybe I can do some business with Extreme Dimensions and find out who's designing their booths... doens't hurt to ask em.. they may be willing to switch vendors if the product and the price is right!

Sounds good. But since they have so many products they want to show, that all their cars won't fit into one booth. So I believe they decided to just get feature spots instead. Like I said earlier, they may push the newer cars into the booths. So I don't know if they will have a booth or not.

Not yet because I haven't received my kit. The pictures you saw a few months back were just plug ins for the machine to make molds. So now I am waiting for the manufacturer to make the kit and send them back to the warehouse. Which should be in 2 months.

Right now I am driving my 96 Maxima as my daily driver while my coupe is out of commision.

Watch this video clip: http://video.msn.com/dw.aspx?m...199d7

It will explain about SEMA.
