Anybody on the board, have you installed the aftermarket Versus kit yourself? if so, what have you learned? was it easy? do you recommend professional installation? I'm assuming that the installation can't be that bad...any comments are greatly appreciated....give me the good and the bad!!

 

Ahmad...where are you?


Help a brotha out

 

how much did it cost you guys to install this kit?

 

Civic...that's what he's wondering..

trying to get a good idea of the costs involved to install...

 

I'll sell you one for $510 Shipped.

 

Well you can do it yourself, but i would rather have a shop do it. I was quoted by a very very good local shop $600 to paint and install the complete kit and repaint the front and rear bumpers. Now that price will vary anywhere you go. But i would rather let a professional place do the install so it comes out looking as good as ..........

 

If I was having a professional shop install and paint it along w/ both bumpers, I woiuld already have them bondo it into one piece so that it looks its part of the car. I think the kit looks sweet, but the thing that I always hated about most kits is that you can see its just an add-on.

 

i installed my kit myself and it does not look any different than from those pics. total cost= $70 paint (friend owns shop) and 3m tape $40 = $110

its easy.

 

I'm in NY, and I got quoted 900 bucks with instaslationa nd paint. I wish i could get it for 600...

 

Are you the one that got the carbon-diffuser in the front and the Versus kit on the side and back? If it is you, would you mind posting a pic or sending me a pic, thanks. I wanan do the same thing myself thats y.

p.s. e-mail addy is Danshin81@yahoo.com

 

i believe that is ahmad's plan.









...which i still haven't gotten pics of.

 

yeah, I have the difusers and they're gonna be painted with the full bodykit this coming tues. I have yet to decide if the front will be with the versus or splitters. the versus front is so damn low and it doesn't match the sides in regards to height. I may just have the splitters molded on. i will definetly post pics either way.

 

Well actually i tried to email them to you and it didnt work but i do have them....These are pics of the splitters with the UNPAINTED versus kit on the car...it isnt installed its just up there for the pics

 

looking good! can't wait to see the finished product. those splitters definitely needed something to complement it. i think the versus kit and splitters flow/transition well.

 

Hard to see with the black ride...but those splitters do flow well...

 

WOW! that looks really good, yea, i have to agree with Rondog, it is too low in the front, my front got all scraped up after a few months. But again Ahmad, ur sh!t looks really good with the diffuser I'm gonna do that to mines def.
thanks again guys.

 

thanks for the comments, Im still up in the air about the front....i think i looks best with just the sides and rear bumper like this



But ill have to wait and see once its painted.

and the stock spoiler has to go, i think it ruins the kit...gotta go w/the M5 lip for it

 

thanks for the info fellas...i'm sold...hopefully i can show off the final product this spring...your car looks phat ahmad....i have a lot of work to do to be at the level that you guys are at

 

I would recomend that you bring up where the doors meet the kit, mine is rubbing slightly and I have to slam my driverside door. the shop said to let it wear out and they'll take care of it when it's worn down enough. Also, the edge of the kit may have some airbubbles, point out that you want them filled along with all the imperfections.
