Most replica kits are going to have pretty poor fitment.

And genuine kits cost an arm and a leg. You best bet is to have a professional fit the kit, with the assumption that it will cost a fair bit to fit a replica properly.

My brother bought a bodykit for his car many years ago... Ended up spending more than double the original cost to get the bars re-fibreglassed as they were wayyyyy too thin and then to be refitted correctly...

My personal choice (after owning a car with a bodykit) is to stick with the factory bumpers and genuine lip kits... Nothing beats plastic quality products with perfect fitment... And on the off chance you may touch a driveway, speedbump, gutter, etc, the plastic just bends and then bounces back, rather than fibreglass cracking...

body kits are over rated the right set of wheels and the ride hieght just right is a much sexier thing then flimsy skirts and bars

spend your money on coilovers instead and lower it a heap, your stock bumpers will be 100mm off the ground then you could never get low like that with a kit. you may be 100mm off the ground with your new bumper but also 100mm from your tyre to your arch 4wd spec
