okay, i know this is covered in the sticky; "The more you spend the better"

However; out of a few brands, i am trying to figure out witch i am going to purchase. I'm looking for the Blitz front with the invader sides and rear. Now, i WILL NOT buy theese off of ebay. Yeah i could get em for 100 bucks, but will it be anything decent? NO~

Body-Kitz.com offers a nice selection, but due to the fact they wont even give you the name of the manufacturer, I dont really want to trust them to deliver a quality product. Plus One member of this fourm (I forget the name) had a really bad experience with Body-kitz.com.

So I've been looking at Andy's wares, and it would seem there are a few good buys. I dont want to spend $1000 for this... So my question is if anyone has any experience with the following manufacturers:

AIT Racing - VS
Duraflex - Extreme Dementions
VFiber - Vision

Or look for yourselfs here:

So if anyone has an opinion on theese 3 brands, i would love to hear all feed back possible.

Yes it is. Andysautosport sells entire kits for about $35 more than your paying for just the bumper.

However that's what this discusion is all about. Remember that this kit wont just "bolt on" And the cheaper the kit, the more fabrication you will have to do to fit it on. But would it be worth it? I think yes.

Or for closer to 1000 dollars you could get one that may require no fiberglass work at all. It depends on how much you spend. This and the reasons behind it is all covered in the sticky.

so if the front bumper is universal and sides are too then does that mean that the fenders are aswell? just asking because i might pick up a fender soon

No. The fenders are not universal.

The convertable takes a different fender than the coupe / hatchback models. All Z3 fenders and ect. are made for the coupe / hatchback. (and if you find otherwise, then its very rare. I've never seen any.)

From everything I've read this statement is untrue. The rear on the verts/coupes is diff than the hatch but the front is the same including the fenders [1/4 panels].
This from reading and observation - I could be wrong and if I am will someone please point out the differences with pics?

death, this is why it took me 3 months to find a fender for my car. (you've seen the white one) because the vert dosent go as high. We can compare later and take pics of yours and mine.

but if your right, Man, i'm gunna be pissed for spending all the extra money~
