Hi, welcome, How much u sold ur original bodykit for?

if i were u and if like the CnC bk i will still get it.. cos the 3rd party bk so far all very expensive.. imho, it's just not worth the $.. so im kinda give up already..

yeah i also waiting for my bk SE told me have to wait for 2 month.Die like this colour might be different from my car once install my bk.haiz

I traded in my bk for $500 with CnC.. Thought it was worth the $ but then i checked with the salesman during my first 1K and he told me that the bk cost $2000+.. i nearly fell off my chair.. so wanted to check out if there are other bk outside that are cheaper..

The SE lies. The BK only cost around $750 as my friend works in KIA.

If I were you, I would wait for the bk instead of trade-in it for $500, bro.

i think so far 3rd party bk (full set) easily above $500.. unless u get only partial kit.. and also gotto take note if the price includes painting n installation.. only advantage is u can choose the design u like, but so far not much choices.. the design i like cost $700-800 n not full set still.. sianz 1/2..
i think the trade in price of $500 is all along offcial.. but how much the bk worth is quite subjective.. my deal was one week b4 they launch the bk.. i was told if i want it back then i gotto pay $1k more... but for those deal wif bk.. if they dun want only $500 off original price.. kinda standard all the while..

i think forte without bodykit looks best. =)

i think so too.....

Forte needs a mild bk to make it nicer..... there are some things you will need to hide and is best done with bk.... look at under the doors, there is this reinforced bar, where you hook the jack if you have flat tire.... that bar is an eye sore....a nice simple side skirt will do the job of hiding that.... but if install side skirt, then the rear bumper would need to have lip kit to continue the lines...... but you have this stock rear diffuser, unless remove and patched, a lip for bumper will leave a gap, maybe that can be solved with grills, or half lip kit,.....

one other trick to hide the bar - paint it black....

can see but not so obvious one.... unlike if it is the same as the original body colour....
actually i did not notice it for my car as i have soundclad.... but when i saw other bsilver, then i asked my co-uncle what is was...only then i realised it was that... so he getting his painted black....

Paint black, ok, maybe an idea, where your co-uncle got it painted???

Side skirt would still be a solution, not only hide away the flaws, but also enhance beauty, of course with proper rear lip too...

For those wonder what Juan me talking about, the offending part is arrowed in the picture,..

Private car park on a weekday afternoon..... come and stomp,..... hahhahahaaaa

so kapitan, u only do front lip so far? will u do side n back??
i agree forte looks good already, but with minor lips n skirts.. den will be perfect.. but the problem is the cost lor..

as the bk position is actually very low, if bk breaks... then what to do?

hi brothers and sisters,
am new to this forum. just booked my first car bout 2 weeks ago~ =)

expected delivery date.. err... end feb 2010...
still gotta wait so long...

i oso got the bodykit from C&C.. just wanna ask does installing it really makes going over hums and slopes scratchy to the bks?

Sorry ah.. new driver, new car... dunno much... = (

it is very low.... most humps and slopes are manageable but u need to slow down so as not to crunch ur suspension....

the most problems would be parking.... u cannot do front parking and as far as reverse parking, u need to be very mindful that u dun
hit the barriers or sidewalk....

even if ur able to handle the barriers or sidewalk, u oso have to be gentle when ur coming out of parking. as ur wheel cools down, it technically shrinks.... so when u come in ... no issue... no guarantee that it will not kiss when ur coming out....

O.o!
hope the reverse camera helps... =x

yup. i reverse park (a rented lancer with bk). but going up and down the hdb mscp is scary... dunno will bua the sidewalks beside the slope or not.. got people install front view camera for this kind of issues? =x
lol.

bro,@ last...my SX bk is here,installation next thursday @ leng kee

grtas... welcome to a new way of driving
