*dmd
Replica's are just made out of fibreglass and all of the ones from DMD are great. Your gonna be paying top dollar for genuine kits and will have to import from japan (1-2k+)

Re: Replica VS body kit.
Only this morning, I just notice my bar from dmd ain't straight (lower piece)
fck it!!!
and, @renz fyi, the major difference is the material itself. Fiberglass can't sustain any force. Once caught an impact, it cracks/breaks/shatters. Unlike genuine kit made of plastic might just get a dent and a finger push would pops it back to shape.

Re: Replica VS body kit.
Just got it into workshop this morning and the guy said he'll fix it before fitting it.
It's not the entire bar, it's the bottom piece that seems uneven/twisted like 2 or 3 degrees? Pretty obvious when looking at it on horizon level.

Re: Replica VS body kit.
@Sweep, full kit? Over a thousand.
Front bar alone around 500, skirting 300+, rear 400+. (depending on which kit u looking at)
All kit from dmd are unprimed. Cost quite a bit if you expect a proper prep-ing via putty with 2pak primer and sand down twice, before painting over it.
dmd web is @ dmdtheimage.com ; it's nothing there, just some pictures. You need to call for pricing.
Cheers!

Re: Replica VS body kit.
Dunno if they are closing down or whatnot...
That 200sx has been there for so long, i had a chat to the guy about it... he said it's been there for 6months and they guy has paid for the work done and stuff and just hasn't picked it up.. apparently he's done so much work to it and the guys just loaded and doesn't really care about it
.. Yeah kim's alright ay
