Best fitment/quality of body parts?

Aside from the actual model/style, who has the best fitment and quality of aftermarket body parts? It seems many companies make all the same models as everyone else and there are replicas everywhere. My only concern is what will happen when I receive the part and the body shop tells me it's going to take a load of work (money) to make it look right.

Every body shop I have spoken to hates aftermarket body parts because they are junk.

Ideally, I would install everything myself and then take the car for paint. I expect there will be sanding, priming, etc but not complete re-work due to wavy, pitted, tweaked parts.

Thanks.

Pretty much all aftermarket parts have the possibility of needing extra work done to make them fit correctly, I have ordered and had good fitment with Strafe's CS rear and impul poly sides. However, beware of their bogus disclaimer which entitles them to keep 30% of your payment if you decided to cancel your order or want a refund.

Hello,

Take a look at our thread https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...place-get.html

We have a pretty large selection of bodykits =) Most of them made in house here at our facility. We'll be glad to walk you through the steps of getting your kit painted and installed. We also have prep instructions you can give to your bodyshop.

Send me a Private Message if you see anything you like in our thread =) I'll also be glad to answer any questions you may have about bodykits just post it up here

A good body shop will not say that all aftermarket body parts are junk, I wouldn't let any bodyshop with that mentality work on my car. It indicates that they don't have the experience or know how to deal with aftermarket bodykit. Also to reduce fitment issues stick with poly over fiberglass.
