Body form if you want the kit to be lined up almost perfect.
I wouldnt recommend fibremotive at all. Bad service, rough kits.

What you pay for is what you get :lol:

Jet speed charge that ammount to fit and paint because their kits are that friggin poor to begin with the extra work required is enourmous.

and ofcourse they are going to charge $350 to paint a front bar when they have cars coming in for full resprays

What do they have to do with each other? Who cares they do one then the other or both at the same time with different people doing them. :roll:

Any panel shop thats half good can fit and paint a body kit with no problems

Dude get you bar fitted 1st then pull it off and get it painted I'm yet to see a body kit fit perfect 1st go


:roll: :roll: :roll:

they have everything to do with eachother, if you were a spray painter would you rather your time goto painting a front bar or painting a whole car?

Queen St is well known and in high demand workshop, any workshop like that would rather big $$$ resprays then petty cash jobs

the guy at fibremotive changed his mind when he saw the kit and the car... the $400 was just a quote on the phone. he asked for $800 which i was happy to pay but he said he can't gurantee hows its gonna look at the end ...

they all complained about the front bar... it only took me 20 mins to take the stock one off & put the new one & they align just fine ..... :evil:

ECKSHALE, can u pm me any contact details for body form

cheers

strange, because MFX told me that they don't do fit or spray. Instead, they always refer customers to a shop just down the road called "SprayFever". They do it for me around 400 dollars (spray/fit) per body piece. The results?? It's pretty good! IMO, it's a 95% job well done.

PM sent buddy. He did wonders with that shit bar i got from jetspeed. Never going there again thats for sure.
(Dont ask why i got it from there cause i originally bought the kit from fibremotive cause they said they had it but then they had to source the fb from jetspeed) :roll:

Made it sit pretty damn close to perfect :D
However he had to do some chopping here and there though
