FRS Widebody Kits
I love the look of the rocket bunny kit but I just can't get around the rivets. Are there any molded wide body kits out there?? Please

Way back when, I had a body kit on a civic. I took it to a body shop to do it. Find a good one. Ask around. Go to your local performance shop if you have one.

I personally like the Rocket Bunny bodykit and like you I am not a big fan of the rivets or "bolts", My solution was to have them powdercoated or painted a matching color for my car.
The only problem is finding powdercoat to match, so more than likey they will get painted. I personally would never mold a body kit, and why would you for a kit that requires cutting your fenders? You will eventually need to replace those rear fenders and it will be much more expensive if molded. I had a celica with molded sideskirts years ago, I paid over 2k just to have the sides color matched and molded, It cracked after a year. The shop was pretty reputable and I have seen some nice cars come from them, so I never recommend molding a kit, especially if you live in an area with terrible roads, high humidity or if you plan on tracking your car. |
