The dealer of Janpanese sport auto said he bought whole VS body kits from Carmate.com

but the quality is rubbish, and the look doesnt like genuine VS.

I wanna know did he really bought from carmate or from fabrication.

If someone bought kits from Carmate before, did Carmate provide payment details when delivery? or something else can prove it come from Carmate...

thank you so much.!!! :cry:

Ok - Not meaning to de-fame these guys but I very desperately want a weber sports kit for a 350z which I'm buying in December, and the only place that replicated them were these guys in Villawood. I honestly didn't want to go there after my past experience, and did a bit of research to find out if many other people had experiences with them.

Well, I found quite a few:

Here's a couple..

Take a look at this, guy has pics of his kit on the car. Unbelievable.

Also look at this, read what he wrote and scroll halfway down the page to see the front bar attached with CABLE TIES.

I'm not telling anybody not to go here and defaming them, just saying this is the information I found on the net which is readily available to anybody, just sharing. Upto you if any of you want to go here.

I believe GR8FTO brought parts of his kit off there and said it was an absolute nightmare to fit and cost him heaps to finally get fitted properly.

i just wouldnt bother unless your deep pockets to get it fitted right

Hey, I brought the CM4 front bar from them and pretty much it was rubbish, called them and said its a pretty bad fit, they tried to convince me that a panel shop will have no problem installing, which was totally rubbish.

So i decided to fix it myself, having experience with fibre glass, not really hard, just gotta know what your doing :), after a few cuts in the kit, which allowed the bar to flex with ease and re-fibreglassing and a little bog work came up ok, material $50 ,but a lot of time, still doesn't sit good but hey i like the front bar :)

Bar problem: Fit one side flush, but the other side totally off, had to really flex it in to fit and that not even screwing it yet, if i did screw it in the amount of flex would of bent the front quarter panels, where the screw holds the kit to the quarter panel and where the bar did sit flush with the panel, it didn't sit flush with the bottom of the quarter panel, there was about 1cm arch, not too sure if you know what i mean but had the re-fibre glass that too.
