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

How do you go about doing it? Can the rivets be covered somehow or do you thinking painting them the color of the car will work?

Can body shops install and paint the body kit?

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.
