Car Modification Places

Hey,

I'm doing some research on where to purchase body kits locally or on the Internet for a good price. Anyone here know, or have a friend that's heavily into this type of scene?

Lots of people have forwarded me to montrealracing forums among other places, I'm just curious if anyone here knows of stuff.

If your friend is in Montreal, he could try RMR. They do a lot of full racecar prep and could likely source whatever your friend needs. If he's looking for something a little more Fast & Furious than proper racecar aero bits (fender flares, deeper yet functional from air dams, fibreglas hood & trunk etc) he should talk to any of those performance auto & sound type shops.

Depends what he's after.

Aerokits/Body Kits, what shops you talking about? Any idea how much a full spyder body kit would be for a Honda Accord 02?

http://www.onderground-design.com/

Shows it for $760 + $50 handling + $shipping

So, I'm guessing $950-$1000+

It might be cheaper for your friend to order exactly what he wants online, and just pay a local bodyshop to install it.

If he wants to source the whole kit, maybe start with RMR and see if they can do the work. Worst case, they ought to know someone who specializes in this kind of thing.

I've never gone sourcing bodykits so I wouldn't know what's a good price or not. Sorry dude. All I can recommend is that your friend spend a bit more on a polyurethane kit instead of fibreglass. Polyurethane will flex if it hits anything, whereas fibreglass just cracks, especially here in Montreal where the cold will only add to the fragility of fibreglass body bits.

I've read of new fiberglass compounds also being able to "flex" when they take low impact damage.

^^ true, but they'll never flex as much as a proper urethane piece. Fibreglass is easier to repair, you could do it yourself. You just need a trip to Canadian Tire and a little bit of artistic talent. Fixing urethane is much more difficult, but ultimately you shouldn't need to fix it from a low speed impact.
