Is there a difference in the quality of the OEM body kit and the West wings one? Do they bothe install easy? Is one tougher that the other? Rory

 

Comptech make bodykits? Since when???

 

what are you talaking about?

 

Your original title/subject says Comptech vs. OEM Body kit...thats what he's talking about. As for the quality, I belive both are polyurethane but one comes painted and one does not. Thefore the shop that does the paint job will determine how it turns out. As for fit, its hard to beat OEM.

I was joking, i knew what he was saying. So besides the paint job ther both pretty equal? Rory

 

Comptech doen't make a body kit but they sell the Wings West kit. I personally like the OEM kit a lot better than WW. The way the WW front comes up the front of the wheel well and the cut outs on the side skiets do nothing for me.

 

I like the OEM...it seems to flow smoother with the body lines.

 

OEM factory painted is better imo.

 

oem is better in my opinion, because you can get it factory painted for a lil more and its a perfect match . . . when matchin a paint color its hard to get a perfect match

 

I haven't had much experience modding cars. But i am pretty compitent at working on things. Could someone such as myself install the OEM bodykit or is it something that you leave to a professional?

 

DIY...it's a piece a of cake.

 

if you have a good body shop paint it, the WW bodykit will actually look better matched depending upon how old your car is.

please be aware that the WW sideskirts come up a bit where the front wheel wells are. Although for style, I have found that, at the corner where the sideskirt comes up, the paint tends to crack/peel off due to flexing of the sideskirt.

 

Hey... How you do that??? you cahnged the title and the detail of your thread!!!

 

P.S. To answer you Q.
I think both bodykits looks nice if you're gonna have it installed "professionally"... Qualitywise, I'd say that oem has better paint jobs than the WW (whoever you're bring them to to get them painted)
I think the WW kit looked more aggressive than the oem, but the oem kits like someone has already pointed out, has better bodylines and blends in with the car better.

 

No aftermarket paint job sticks to the parts as good as the OEM one, unless you are willing to paid a hefty price. It is similar to a repainted bumper which will chip very easy. The OEM paint process is a multi-coat, multi-bake process, and therefore the paint will stick to the surface extremely well.
