Hey guys,
Mum had an accident yesterday morning and there is damage to the rear and front so I'm looking at getting a bodykit now.
I'm looking at the full Mugen Kit, Kenstyle and the OEM (Modulo) Kit.
Could you guys help me and tell me where I can source both of these kits and roughly how much I am looking at?
Thanks
WOWOWOW hmm im sure u can get the replica mugen kit from the US ebay the exchange rate is getting there :D
funny how many times people post about bodykits asking where to get them.... there are so many threads that cover this now..
if ur after replica www.carmate.com.au
Be cautius on Carmate buddy,
Guarenteed to fit 60% of the time, EVERYTIME!
Just remember that the Mugen kits from US are replicas made from fibreglass and NOT ABS plastic.
Goodluck!
P.S. Show us pics of the damage!
I've heard similar.:thumbdwn:Quote:

But yes I have heard of others say there not so great (shitty batch/mould etc).
I would say the more common the bar etc, the better fitment/mould.
Found this place also... dealers in most states here.

NOTE: that lip kits have more chance of fitment than full bumper replacements.Quote:

they're very prone to rock chips though..
well guys, i really really like the kenstyle body kit and there's a place called OTR motorsports that can get me a replica kit.
but the thing is.. the guy there called it a 'k-speed' bodykit, is that also known as the kenstyle?
and also.. for kenstyle, is the rear just an add on?
pics will be up soon
good choice.. how much issit costing..
i'm assuming you've seen kitbkk's one.. ?
http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/7894/img3279copy.jpg looks hot !
$920.. but i'm still wondering if 'k-speed' is kenstyle.. i stumbled across it like last night but i can't find the thread!
do you know if the kenstyle rear bumper is just an add on? looks like it frmo the pics
yeah... from pic.. it looks like just a lip..
the front is full bumper though right ? not lip.. ?
$920 for full kit ?
why don't u just email the pics of kitbkk's car to the bodykit ppl to ask them if it's the same one.
the front bumper is a full bumper
umm.. 920.. yeah that's what the guy said over the phone.
i was talking to him on the phone, that's why i haven't been able to verify but i did ask him if the one he has has the 2 blocks on the front bumper and he said yeah..
but gotta make sure 100%
gotta do some insurance work before i get deep into the bodykit
insurance work..? my car is insured under aami under the old man's name and the following mod: intake, exhaust, wheels, bodykit, strut brace, coilovers, sway bar, camber kit only cost $20 extra on the policy to insure.. i was loving it.. cause my agreed value went up by 6g'z.. lol..
really depends on your age..
Hrrmmm, the genuine is a rear lip add on as seen in Kit's photo, however K-Speed from some of the ones ive seen advertised from the US, its a rear bumper all together. So u may be in luck.
Yeah, I noticed that jase.
Thanks man.
As for insurance.. I might have to swap.. i'm with QBE atm.. they are shocking
that's dirt cheap compare to mine, i'd added coilover - sway bar - intake -wheels[2000], got charged 136, agreed value goes up only 1.5kQuote:

just car is cheap in terms of premium but when you do get into a repair job and not being able to choose your repairer is the worst.Quote:

the kit from OTR doesnt include the grill, does anyone know where to get the kenstyle grill?
and the kit he has is rear add on :(
kenstyle grill is not separate requires full bar replacement.
K-speed is a taiwan sport rims brand.... maybe they make body kits as well?
well the guy at OTR said there's no grille and he is calling the kit a 'kspeed' so i'm guessing it doesn't include the grille.
need to source them seperate if you buying it K style replica :D
hrmm.. no it's got me wondering whether to get mugen..
apparently for k-speed i need to get an 03-05 rear bumper to add on the kspeed lip
is this true?
and also is this true for the mugen?
yeah thats right. K-Speed/Kenstyle was designed for the earlier 03-05 models.Quote:

isnt it supposed to be 2 types which are the 03-05 and 06-08 models? The 06-08 models have a little bit more pokin out the rear towards the bottom of the bumper.
Must be some funky lip if it can fit 04-06.
Hang on, so are you getting the rear lip or the full rear bumper?
If full rear bumper, should be no dramas, but if rear lip, then u can mod rear lip or get yourself an 03-05 rear bumper.
it's a lip, that's why i'm confused when he said 04-06. weird. what you rkn?
does it look something like this

http://www.andysautosport.com/images...x04hikenrb.jpg
it's an rear bumper lip. not a full one. so it looks like the 2nd pic. the dudes at otr dont have pics.
is it possible to get an 03-05 rear bumper onto an 06 model?
or is it possible to mod the 03-05 rear bumper lip to fit onto an 06 rear bumper? So confused!
the kit is a lipkit, kenstyle replica ones are lips not full bumper replacements.
i don't think you can unless you fibreglass mould it on.
i'm pretty sure the one i'm getting has a full front bar replacement and a rear bumper lip.
i'm more lost now
kenstyle and kenstyle rep consists of:Quote:

They have never had rear bumper replacement, as i wanted to get one of those kits before.
nah man,
i'm pretty sure they do.
they call it the k-speed kit.. which is the kenstyle kit.. you have an option of rear lip or rear full bumper..
here's a link

Nah, Daz, theres some floatin around the US of Kenstyle replicas that actually have a full rear bumper replacement. I didnt believe it myself at first, but its true. Yes the genuine Kenstyle never had a rear bumper replacement, just a rear lip add-on.
Yeh you guys are right,Quote:

the 2nd pic i posted was the one with the lip kit cause you can still see the stock red reflectors.
so do you think it's possible to have a rear lip that'll fit 04-06? isn't there a difference between 04-05 to the 06?
the two diff models are 03-05 and 06-08. Rears are diff mang.
Heres an example, just used 2 diff carrs of TSXClub.com
Just near the bottom above the reflectors you can see how the 06-08 (2ndpic) has more of a bump sticking out than the above 03-05.
Oh and incase someone wants to know, the top pic 03-05 Euro has a Greddy Evo2 exhuast installed. :p
03-05

06-08
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...o/DSC00875.jpg
so, is it possible to get 03-05 rear bumper on an 06 model?
Daz, said no but atjo said that someone here has done it before.
does anyone know if its possible to get a euro r grill or keep the stock06 grill on with the mugen kit? i really like the mugen but the grill is too empty for my liking. gotta decide soon!
there's always custom work :)
well guys, i've decided with mugen... i went and looked at the front bar today and found a rather unique 'mugen' front bar.
the one i went and looked at today looks like you have to use your stock 03-05 grill AND has omitted the vents on the side on the front bar
here's some pictures

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...ofIMG_1746.jpg
do you guys think that the stock grill will fit onto this because looking at other member's that have the mugen kit, they can't fit a grill because their front bar doesn't allow it too but looking at the front bar i looked at it looks like it will allow a 03-05 grill to fit
Where did u get this front bar from ? How much was it for full kit ? Did u sacrify ur fog light for its or u b able to transfer ur fog light onto this new mugen kits, thanks
Anyone notice how this mugen rep front bar has inserts to mount a grill, unlike other mugen front bars?
interesting find...
i'm hoping to get an end product like this within the next few weeks
i will also ask to get the headlight washers moved onto the mugen bar

Hey buddy, where did u source the mugen front bar? Let us know about the progress as I'm interests to get the mugen kit with my for light onto its too
owwchhh :(

this looks like the kenstyle bumper that kitbkk has..
seems as though carmate have a bigger range of kits for the euro now..
i didnt really want to get that one as i need the chrome trim off the 03-05 models to put it on that replica grill.
and also the time and research to get foglights to fit the cutnuts
and also getting a badge for that rectangle bit on the grill is a pain too
rofl get a mugen emblem for it instead....Quote:

This one doesn't look like mugen replica kit. It's more of mugen custom kit as it looks more of the combination of the mugen kit for jazz/integra with insert for euro grille.Quote:
