parts of a body kit

[ragepsych0]

has anyone just put the front bumper of say the AED kit on their car without putting any of the rest, what would that look like? The only thing i dont like about my car is the front bumper and i was thinking of maybe just replacing taht and nothing else, comments?

Here is a few pictures I found of a 99 + GA with just the front bumper. If I find more, I'll post them up.

IMO I don't think it will look right....After getting a body kit I see why it pays to get the whole kit,it won't flow with the rest of the car to just have one piece rather then the whole. I mean if you get just the rear bumper of a body kit it may look ok but from the side it won't look right,the end of the car will look lower then the front or vise versa with the front.

Yeah. It looks unfinished and unbalanced. The front would be lower than the rest of the car.

Don't do it man. Sides are sometimes optional, although I'd recommend getting them, too, but the front and back should be "one piece".

[ragepsych0]

ok, so ill ask you , how many problems with chipping etc, have you had with aas?

[MikeNice]

I answered this in the other thread but I'll answer it here, too. Sorry Mods :P

How much chipping with the aas kit? Well...to be perfectly honest with you...nothing what so ever. Still looks as good now as it did the day I got it. I don't drive like an idiot and I'm pretty careful about going up or down parking lots. I wish someone lived close so they could come vouch for me. It's not anywhere near as bad as people, I won't mention any names, make it out to be. I love it.

I'll vouch for ya Mike....I also have an AAS kit and not chipping what so ever.Drive carefully and you shouldn't,don't recomend body kits however for people who live around bad streets as in conditions,pot holes,etc.....Had the kit on for about a month now,no problems what so ever.

[ragepsych0]

cool guys, thanks a lot, i have always liked the look of the aas kit, but i heard nothing but bad news about it. but i think i will still be looking into it, thanks!

Its a nice kit.....The people that have said bad things either don't drive carefully,which any body kit will get chipped or messed up from this,or bad mouthing because they didn't get the service they thought they deserved,even tho I had a great expierence and would deffly recomend them for any body kit.Plus they give GAOC members a discount,20% I think.

i need to get a kit but with the winters here, im not sure if its a good idea. anyone live in MN with one?.

[VanishingImage]

Im taking my sides and front bumper off for the winter,Im a snow plow in the winter,lol...Its a hassel but Id rather have a chip free and flaw free kit for next spring rather then a possible chipped and messed up bumper through the winter,the salt and crap on the highways.

<---- (what i have)

Chipping is only cuased by hitting the body kit.. (obviously).. so if you drive carefully you wont have to worry about that.

Just note, my car with stock suspension and aed kit.. is the same hight from the ground as my friends Grand Am se with Sprint lowering springs.. (1.6 inch drop).

your car will be lower so any steep driveways are a no no.. here in houston.. you have your areas of the city were bodykits just cant go..
