Since I have to replace my rear bumper anyways I think I might just go out and buy a whole new kit. I am really liking the r34 kit alot and I have been doing some research on it and i still have a few questions.
where should i get it from? is ebay reputible? experiences?
how was the fitment?
what did u do for exhaust? custom? pics?
thanks in advance.

well i got my kit off ebay and it was not mad for fitment, just look at the feebacks and look for a place that makes the kit themselves.
i did not like the rear so i have yet to replace mine so i can't help there, sorry hope i helped

if your gonna spend the money for a kit i'd say get one from a reputable manufactor or good online site....i'd stay away from ebay...seen too many horrible fit ment problems and paper thing fiberglass...

heres a look at mine. i got it from a "reputable manufactor " on Ebay. most companies now have ebay stores and you can find a deal on old stock that they are trying to move

^^I meant to reply to your PM last night...IM so sorry
to answer your questions about my kit, i got it from
www.extremedimensions.com about 2.5 years ago.
It fit very well, the only place I had bad gaps were in the sideskirts, hence why I just had them fully molded. the front had no gaps, and the rear had one small gap under the tail light thta we just built up w/ glassing and marglass and fixed. Kit came in packaged very well, with no cracks, ecept for one small crack in the rear bumper.
I wouldnt buy from ebay If i was you...but thats just me. there is someone on here that has a kit very similar to R34, the front is just a bit different, and i think its urethane if you are worried about it cracking.

extremedimensions is also an awsome brand and like she says no matter where you get it you may have fitment problems. but do your research and you will be just fine. and by the way i have the same sideskirt problems and am about to mold mine on, too.

i still dont know what rear i want, i saw how the r34 rear looked on import killers car and i actually like it, i cant seem to find a good pic just the rear of jackie's but im assuming the fit is the same...i was thinking about the combat rear, but i cant find a decent pic of it, they all seem to be taken at the same upward angle. i think im just gonna get the whole octane r34 kit from here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01-02 ... dZViewItem
or here

im not too worried about fitment because my best friends father own his own body shop, and i tutor his daughter all the time so he said "ill take care of you" so i think im just gonna have him mold the whole kit, ***does this mean it wont ever come off?***
and at the same time im gonna have him shave my door trim off too

when he molds it it is no longer a bolt on its more permanenat

and if you scrape it hard, it might crack the molding and have to be completely redone, depending on the damage. trust me, ive cracked mine a a couple of times, which is why mine is being redone as we speak.
heres a couple of views of the back
and one of the worst pictuers i have EVER taken
