Carmate anyone!?

Post by Chiinkstarrh »

thinking of buying body kits ect. off carmate.com just wondering if anyone has bought anything off them yet and how was it.
http://carmate.com/product_details.php? ... TO95CM42RB (Rear bar)
http://carmate.com/product_details.php? ... TO95EVOBON (Bonnet)
http://carmate.com/product_details.php? ... TFTO95CWFB (Front Bar)

im not sure about the front bar because of the difference of the front indicators,
thanks guys

I'd be VERY wary of Carmate, a lot of members have had problems. They are cheap replicas and in most cases near impossible to fit

Carmate = fail

however there bonnets have been known to be sweet

as for bumpers etc try DMD the image excellent quality and price is fair

do a search for carmate in regards to kits here and you will see why they are dodgy

Agree 100%. Just my opinion but that is probably one of the ugliest rear bars I have seen... it looks so tacky.

As for bonnets, as most people have said already Carmate bonnets are generally fine... just their front bars / bodykits can be troublesome to fit.

If you like the vented bonnet look, take a look at this one on dstock's car. I think it's from Carmate...

Search this site for carmate and you will soon see what absolute crap products, they supply.

Your one of the lucky ones...

My VS style skirts were way off... My panel beater has never refused to do anything to a car (and he use to make his own body kits), but he said they were beyond hope.. He would have had to cut them up, and only used them as a guide...

Even when I took them back, you could seek that they were also shaped like a banana in one section...
I just had to add it ......
