I would like to, and have others, share their experience to help others. About 3 years ago before S13.5 parts were widely sold I bought a front end conversion from raceoneUSA. Someone who advertised their items to be strong, and fit correctly. Well their conversion fenders did nothing of the sort. They were the most horrid fitting fenders I have even seen. I had to put a lot of work into the fenders to make them look terrible.

So if you have bought any body parts that fit poorly please let the community know so others dont make the same mistake.

My horrid fitment from 2007.I paid 1250 for that garbage too.

Huge fender to hood gapFenders did not fit the hoodBumper was 3 merged pieces that required a lot of work

I haven't had the opportunity to do any body fitments yet. But I know that it should take some time to make any body parts fit perfect and flush. So I'm glad that someone decided to post this thread. I know I don't want to fall into a frustrating fitment issue in the near future.By the way, I really want to get the GP Sports s13 coupe body kit one day. Has any one had any issues or anything to say about this kit?

If its the real kit it should fit, but there are so many copies out there.

Really? The only place I seen the G4 kit was Andy's Auto Sport. Would you happen to know where else to find these kits?Sorry about the subject change. I just thought I would ask since it seemed like I was talking to a reputable niconaut.

well from my personal experience all I can say is:

C-West front bumper fits perfect super flush Signal-auto fenders,side-skirts & rear bumper fit really good, but D side-skirts needed some massaging on D inside of the door. Finally but not least Chargespeed CF hood fits BAD. Could it because in made in china?HUMMMM!

Yeah! I know is all mismatched, but 2 my eye it looks badass, except for D hood which doesn't really look flush.
