Installing a full JDM widebody kit

Postby siu_loong_bao » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:46 pm

Hi All,

I am in Melb's western suburbs and was wondering if anyone can vouch for a very good panel shop that can do bodykit installs (and spraying) for a decent price?


I bought the kit on eBay and it is a genuine JDM kit, hence, no doubts about the kit being poorly made.

Your thoughts pls!

IMHO the only widebody that looks awesome on the MX5 is from Garage Vary...

Here is a couple of pictures of the kit. He posted these earlier this year.

maybe PM meanmx as he is involved in the autosalon scene and would know (or know of) places that do bodykit installations.
You could also read the relevant hot 4's/fast 4's/pimped 4's/copbait 4's magazines that are available
at your local Safeway/Coles library and see what body shops advertise there.
Then check them out and look at their previous work portfolios.
Bear in mind that your kit is not going to be cheap to fit.
Good luck. I remember when you bought that body kit. It is going to look awesome!! :D

I can highly recommend Micolour in Cheltenham.

Well worth it if you want a top notch job.
