hi bro, i done my BK today in pro one, really tks to bro lmf for the direction and map and tks to bro pysfool for the suggestion on nt to do BK at... rch at 11am, start doing the kits at 12pm, finish at 8.30pm, quite a long time but at least can complete in 1 day.. damage is a whopping RM1160, the price consist of front and side skirting toyota wish, and back is lancer, and evo spoiler.. actually want to get lancer spoiler, but hv to wait for the stock to arrive tomolo.. can't wait and eagar to complete the job, so no choice lo.. grab the last evo spoiler.. seems a bit bulky.. btw, anyone knows is evo spolier approve for cerato?? if nt how much is the summon?? and any spray shop with reasonable price to recomend?? is it possible to leave my car in the morning to spary and collect it in evening, or 1 day later?? got to spray my kits...

No matter what BK one puts, so long it does not protrude out of the car's body dimension, it's legal...
Anyway, do post pics of the BK you got in JB to share with us... ;D

So, how's their workmanship? A bit pricey, but if they did a good job, at least still worth it... ...Spoilers normally OK...there is this rule that say spoiler/ GT wing muz not block the rearward view for driver.....I tink the Evo spoiler will block a bit..but not sure how strict they are on this..coz a bit contradicting...if Evo use Evo spoiler that block view, can...but if other car use, then cannot...still block oso wat?... But i tink no need to worry lah..shd be OK.. ...Spray job for BK will take about 2 days...coz tink they need to do some touch up first on the putty b4 spraying..Don't rush on spray job coz if not will not turn out good.. ...oh yah, pls post photo.. ;D

Sorry to hear tat...Really not sure how they do up ur kit...coz most likely since it's a custoimsed kit, there will be alot of putty work...Did they sand down the rivets/ putty a bit?...they shd do tat so tat the spray shop no need to do too much prep work... ...Some spray shops here also try to make extra $$ by saying such things..try to look for more quotes...U can try Moonstar (Mr Boo) at Yishun Industrial next to Westing Motors..I don't hav the exact address nor phnoe number..but i sprayed my kit there for $380...my kit oso JB one and got putty work oso, but not so much..Workmanship not bad..Hope they can give u a better price

I believe your kit is not as seriously screwed as the shops mentioned, yes additional quotes from them as mentioned by psyfool also, skali really nothing wrong with your kit... Which shop in ubi did u go to? Did you try Topmax? Spray job do in Singapore better, rush job in JB will screw your car even more, short term u will not notice but long run the paint defects will start to show... i also wil be doing some welding for the exhaust part, so Man exhaust worksmanship ok? Dun worry so much la, will be ok wan...

And abt cracking, it's sumthing to be expected with fibreglass BK with lots of putty work..regardless done in JB or Sg..Juz need to be more careful when going down slopes, humps and when parking..

;D That why i install my body kits myself cause to have agood finishing u need to install the kits as close to the original bumper or body to minimised the gap and the rivet should be install in a depth that the painter can putty and sand .This way u can neg the painting price with them as they will have less work done before the painting.I paint front, rear,and side skirts.But the painting include whole bumper rear and front cause got scratches.Painting $500 but he told me if i come to touch-up will give good price.put there for 3days cause i ask them to cement the kits to the body to look 1 pcs.The b/k cost $ 150.The rear skirt comes with rear wheel arc kit.To make it look protude.
