tomzzzcattle Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I would have thought the cheaper option would be fine, but as always you get what you pay for. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that, but at-least its better than your last really helpful comment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDUNKZ18 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 yeah that comment was very helpful haha. thanks tomzzzcattle I've even looked at s14 ducktails they have the extra "width" but would need some modifying to fit or it wont fit at all. Or I'm thinking of getting the cheap one for the 350, cut it in half and extend it using some aluminium and built it up with fiberglass, would be a lot of work and would need done correctly either wise I'd have wasted 150 buck on a spoiler that ive cut in two haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) By the time you have bought "cheap" and "fake" and f****d about trying to make it fit or buying one to fit another car you will wish you had just spent the extra and got one that fitted in the first place for the extra, hardly like your saving a fortune @ £180, about 3 hours work in a bodyshop.

atomic350z Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Ive had the epr version and it fitted poorly like a lot of their items... And even when it was fitted right I wasn't keen, buy real or don't bother IMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Any aftermarket parts will take fettling to fit.Pritchards rocket bunny kit was undersized and had to be suplimented by RTP.If you buy aftermarket products they will rarely just bolt on and need to be fettled by someone who has experience of doing the job.The product will only be as good as the fit.

Payco Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thought it was rocket bunny but you are probably right and I'm wrong.Same applies whatever kit you go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Original kits (nismo, ings, etc etc) will invariably fit better than replicas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Jetpilot.Do they not need fettling too ?.Seen the OP works in a body shop and is a painter so at little surprised at the thread.Interested to get your view though on the kits you mention.

Jetpilot Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Light fettling on the most part in my experience, nothing like reshaping, poor mounting points or lack of that you get with replicas.. Original stuff like Nismo, Mazdaspeed, TRD will be as close to oem as you can get. Moulds loose shape over time, especially with the heat gel coat releases, taken out of moulds too quick, poor lay up of materials is your main issues.

zippypooz Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Personally id always go for the real deal over cheap. Id spend the extra and get a good fitment...plus if youre good at what you do, imagine the final result if you have a good kit to start with. I think that you'd get more satisfaction knowing you have a reliable, good, tried and tested mould, sprayed and finished by yourself. Just my opinion anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah same would go for the real deal to save the hassle of dealing With maybe a not so good copy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
