I just have a question for those with body kits. I have had mine on for almost 2 yrs now and the front lip looks like cr*p now cuz the paint is chipping like crazy. How often have you guys repainted ur kit? Does ur paint chip this easily or is this uncommon? Any feedback or pics would be helpful.

2 years, have got a fair few stone chips and it has scraped the underside on the road lots of times too so its starting to wear away, luckily you can't really see it from above, only if you get down and look underneath. I still have it standard height as I cannot get out of my driveway otherwise, but alot of driveways and exits to carparks have a ramp down to the road so can't really avoid this.
You will always get chipped paint cos of stones flicking up from other vehicles. When I first got the kit I had the front bumper on for a while just in primer while I was messing about with the rest of the kit, and was washing it once and notice a hole in the fibreglass where a stone must have hit it and punctured it, pretty glad it hadn't been painted then. |
